Customer Reviews Merrell Barefoot Wonder Glove

Wonderful! This is the cutest barefoot-style shoe I have seen. It is incredibly light. The shoes don't stand out as barefoot shoes and they seem well-made. They look fine with a casual dress. The diagonal strap adds style and also helps keep the shoe on well enough for light active use.

I have three pairs of Merrell Barefoot athletic shoes and I thought I would try these for a dressier walking option. Sadly, they were sized really differently from the Pace Glove and the Lithe Glove - while the sneaker-y shoes fit me close around the arch and in the heel but are nice and open and loose in the toe, the Wonder Glove (and the very similar Serene Glove) were loose all over except where my outer toes bumped against the shoe. They are very attractive, though. Wish they fit!

I really wanted to love these shoes. Unfortunately, my feet run a little wide. They spilled over the side of the sole and my toes were scrunched. They were a nice, flexible shoe, but very narrow. If you have narrow feet, these will fit you well.

This shoe is adorable in style! The aluminum color is a taupe and white combination which will work with so many things. Unfortunately I don't think the barefoot style is going to work for me. There is no arch support and I could feel my feet flattening and rolling over the minute I put them on. They get an A+ for style but the fit doesn't work for anyone accustomed to a solid arch support and a good walking sole. I wish they would design this same shoe with a more heavy duty walking sole.

Oh so frustrating - tried this shoe in different colors and sizes. Here's the good part - super cute and comfy. The bad part is, no matter what size I tried the elastic pushed my foot into the front of the shoe. Increase size, same issue. Go up another size, same issue. Somehow comfy isn't so comfy when your toenails scrape the front on every step. Had to give up and find another brand!

I wanted to like these shoes so much as they are very cute. I am a big advocate of barefoot shoes and own several for running, including ones by Merrell. But wearing these around the house for a couple of hours, my toes felt too scrunched (even when I went up a size) and something about the construction bothered the ball of my foot. More comfy with socks but I wanted to wear them without. So, with much deliberation, I am sending them back.

I am a person who has walked barefoot all of my life once I got home and out of restraining footwear. I really have had a tough time finding footwear where I could feel the earth. Much of the footwear I have tried are over padded over soled and over supportive. I believe this causes the body to get lazy, and back/body aches begin. Saying that. I really like these. I wear them while walking my dogs, and going out of the home. I still go barefoot while in my own area. These little numbers are great for my needs. I purchased them in my usual size 8. When I first got them I thought that they would be to big, but after wearing them, my foot/shoe have merged. That really surprised me. I can wear thin socks with these too! I would highly recommend these to a barefoot woman who needs shoes for public wearing. They are also very adorable. A noted feature is that there is no arch support. These are not meant to have support. I looked for that feature. If you are looking for support, these do not give it. Your body needs to be the supporting system.

For me, very comfortable (narrow heels, wider forefoot with a bunion on one foot). They are a barefoot style shoe, so I do feel the ground underfoot. These shoes work with pants, capris, skirts; I think they are cute (enough that I bought a second pair in black!).

I had been looking for a flat for a long time and decided to give these a try. At first I thought they might be too big, but after wearing them for a while, they really do fit like a glove and very comfortable. A cute, casual shoe that looks good with pants or a skirt.

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable--just like wearing a sock, but much more attractive. These shoes are super cute and perfectly minimalist, and smile every time I put them on because I love how they look and feel so much!

Wasn't so sure about the barefoot concept of these shoes but I love them! Even though the strap did break after a week and I had to exchange them I still give them 5 stars. I just hope they hold up better this time.

I absolutely love these! I normally need a wide width, but these are no problem. I suppose you could wear orthodics in these if you really wanted to, but as with flip-flops, I just wear my little arch support elastic thing. The only complaint I have is about sizing. Merrell is very inconsistent. I usually order an 8 for Merrells (although I just looked in my closet and see that I have a couple of pairs that are 8½). For these, I had to go down to a 7.

After seeing the pictures on Zappos, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the shoes in a store. The aluminum color is tan-ish and cute in person, in a dorky Keen sort of way. I tried both this shoe and the Patagonia Maha Breathe. The back of the Patagonia flats cut into the back of my heels. No such issue with the Merrell's. My true size is a 7.5W; the 7.5 in this shoe are comfortably loose.

So cute! These were comfortable right out of the box. I think I need another pair. My foot is between 9 and 9.5...I went with 9.5 which was perfect. If you're between sizes, I'd suggest sizing up.

Just got these yesterday, and I think they are fantastic! I like a casual shoe that slips on easily for walks around the neighborhood, etc. The mulberry color is a purple-ish pink, bright and easy to coordinate. I usually have a hard time finding a fit between a 9.5 and 10, depending on the fit of the shoe; my feet are just a little wider than a regular 9.5. I went with the 9.5 based on other reviews that said the shoe is a bit roomy, and the fit is spot on. After a day on my feet, I did find the strap (which fastens very easily!) a bit tight. I can leave the strap off and the shoe stays on fine with no slipping. I will be getting another pair without the strap.

Amazingly comfortable right out of the box! I ordered them in Black and in Guava and kept both. The Guava is a bit greener than my monitor showed (I was expecting more of a sunny yellow) but still a really versatile color. I can't help but think that they'd look better with a regular horizontal Mary Jane strap instead of the asymmetrical strap, but they're still really cute. Wish they came in red! And brown too!

These shoes are nice and very comfortable. They are a fine everyday casual shoe.

These shoes are so cute and comfortable! They could be casual and a little dressy.

Lovely color combo and light as a feather but because of the design of the front part of the shoe, it is way too tight for my foot. Will have to return because the next size up is not available. As always, Zappos service is excellent.

Perfect shoes to wear with leggings and a big sweatshirt - not clunky like "regular" athletic shoes but not dressy like ballet flats. Cute!

Sizing is really off. I'm almost always a straight 7.5 or Euro 38; I got the 7.5 in this, which Merrell calls a 38, and my toes were still bumping the front. But otherwise, really comfy and cute! I'm exchanging for an 8.

I wanted to love these. The sole is just too narrow for my foot (although the shoe fit fine, I could feel the ground on the edge of the sole). Sadly, they have to go back. If you have a narrow fit, these are adorable and probably very comfy.

This is the cutest shoe. I bought these to wear to soccer games when it gets warmer.

I own 4 pairs of other Merrell Barefoot shoes, various styles and was very excited to see something more dressy for work. However, because of the styling of this shoe, my regular size was too tight on me. I'm going to try the next size up and hope it works.
