Nice fitting, but the fabric on the side of the shoe is way more gray than it looks like on the picture.

This shoe is very comfortable. There is no padding, so be warned - it's as if you are barefoot. I have had my shoes for a couple of months, and the strap on one shoe pops off the button (it's a loop over a small button). I have a wide foot, and these shoes worked well for me.

These are okay. They would be great if the toebox wasn't so short. I have a normal length foot and my toes are pushed up against the top of the shoe, causing blisters. I still have hope for them, though, so I'm going to get the toebox stretched. Hopefully that will solve the problem. Also, there is a bit of a teenager feel to them. I wasn't expecting to wear these with any sort of formal attire, but even with jeans I feel like they are meant for the under 20 crowd. All in all, I'd say that if you're looking for a nice travel shoe and are willing to shell out a few bucks to get the toebox stretched, then go for them.

I really love how these shoes look, but there is NO support of any variety in the sole. For those of you ladies who ever took ballet (and granted, for me it's been about 28 years), that's exactly what these soles are like. I enjoy "barefoot" shoes as long as there is *some* arch support, but these have none. It was a real shame because they are cute and the diagonal strap attaches in a way that makes them very easy on/off. As for sizing, I tend to be an 8.5 without socks and a 9 with socks. Since these are meant to be worn without socks, the 8.5 fit me perfectly. I would say to order your regular size.

I have a pair a pair of Merrell Barefoot Pace gloves in size 8 and absolutely love them. But, I wanted something a little dressier and decided to try the Barefoot Wonder Glove in a Size 8. Perhaps because the Wonder Glove does not have laces, they seemed slightly too big. And because of the asymmetric strap, they tended to rotate just a little bit to the side. I thought about trying a smaller size, but decided to try a different style because the Wonder Glove is also very narrow.

I'm really disappointed in this shoe (or maybe it's my foot). I thought they were sooo cute I had to have them - they arrived yesterday and when I tried them on they were very narrow. The side of my foot under the baby toe hung over the footbed. So disappointed, they're adorable.

1. I needed white shoes for an outdoor event. I was anticipating the silver, but the white parts are more "bone" or off-white than white. They would not work for my purpose. 2. I ordered the 8.5 and the 9 and neither fit. In Merrell, I'm a solid 8.5 shoes/9 sandals. Both of these were swimming on me. They fit more like an outline than a glove. 3. Really thought about keeping a pair, but I knew I wouldn't wear them because of the fit. 4. Style-wise, I realized I wanted something closer to a ballet flat than a Mary Jane. 5. Back they go. Thank you Zappos for helping me find the right shoes!

I had never tried the Barefoot brand before and wasn't sure what to expect. I loved the style - very cute and a little unusual. Looks dressier than I would have thought. But they feel just like wearing a shoe without the usual insole. Zero arch support of course, rather like wearing slippers. I could never wear them for more than very short hops. Also I found the toe box to be cut at a severe angle so that even though there is room at the end of my big toe, toes two and three are butting up against the end of the shoe. I went up half a size and had the same problem.

I only wear Merrell shoes.
I loved the look of these when they arrived They seemed comfie walking on the carpet at home, but when I wore them outside onto concrete, I could feel every single stone, twig and bump in the road. After wearing them all day, I had a bruise on the bottom of my foot. I think I will wear them as slippers indoors only.

I have been looking for a pair of black flats that are both cute and comfortable. these shoes are very cute and felt comfortable when I put them on. However, halfway through my day my toes hurt badly and I could hardly walk. I am on my feet quite a bit at work. I think they run short. Maybe if I had ordered a size up they might be comfortable. I emailed Zappos with my problem and they agreed to let me return the shoes for a full refund as a courtesy. Wow! I will certainly do more ordering from Zappos. I am very disappointed though as I would love to have these shoes.

I am usually very happy with Merrell shoes, but the last few pairs I've ordered have disappointed me. These have a hard, plastic-feeling top along the toes that make it very uncomfortable to wear barefoot, as intended. Also feel about a half size small. Returning!

I love the shoe and your Wow service, but I am only giving 1 star because I was disappointed that after just 5 minutes of wearing, the elastic button loop on the right shoe broke. I could fix it myself, but for the price it shouldn't break, so I will return it. Your quality control should check this feature on the shoe and get back to the folks at Merrell.

I love my other Merrell shoes but had been waiting for a "cute" style. These are definitely cute but not at all up to Merrell's usual standards. They have absolutely no support. I returned them and am still waiting...come on Merrell - we need cute shoes that support our feet!

Wonder shoes! These are so comfortable and SO cute on. I work in a medical office, and these are my go-to for scrubs as well as jeans on the weekend. I wear size 10, and usually good shoes are hard to find. (Also got them wet and they still looked great). Loved them so much that I bought a second pair.

An awesome shoe. I love the way they feel and fit. The name says it all. Barefoot Wonder Glove. I loved it so much, I did a search on them and purchased about 10 pair in different colors!

Like so many others here, I love this shoe. I do have to add additional arch support, but my feet are very picky about that. Otherwise, they are perfectly comfortable and also very cute on. You can see how many hundreds of people have bought and reviewed these shoes, so why do they appear to be discontinued to soon? I wanted to buy another pair, but the color I wanted is now totally gone!

I can't say enough great things about this shoe! It is uber-comfortable and cute. I can even get away with wearing them with slacks at work. I wish they still sold the version without the strap, which would make it more work-appropriate, but the strap does make it feel very secure. I wear them with no-show footies, but I have walked for hours in them barefoot as well, and no blisters or irritation at all. I want to wear them every day!

Very soft and comfy to the feet. Just love it! The look is so cute. But I don't think it's not for extended walking because there's not a lot of shock cushioning at the bottom.

These are great shoes, casual, yet just nice enough to pull off at work without drawing attention. They have held up well, and have replaced my wife's Dansko and Sanita work shoes.

I love Merrell Barefoot shoes! I have had problems with my feet (plantar fasciitis, bone pains the list goes on), as well as my hip and back. I started to notice that these problems got worse if I wore the same pair of shoes day after day. I finally tried these shoes and within a day my pain was gone, I later asked my PT about it and she told me that many shoes just exacerbate pre-existing conditions that many people may not even realize they have, like that leg of yours that is 1/4 inch longer. Tried other styles of the Barefoot series and the are all amazing for me. Highly recommend especially if you have problems with your feet. I have read comments about how these shoes don't have enough arch support, I noticed that I naturally adjusted to these and never feel like I need more support I could walk forever.

I recently started wearing a pair of Merrell barefoot shoes (road glove dash 2) and fell in love with them. I wanted a pair of barefoot shoes to wear to work and found these. They are the most comfortable dress shoes I have ever owned. The only problem I had was finding the correct size. I'm normally an 8 (in the other pair of Merrells and other shoes) but I'm a 7 in these. Highly recommended.

These are fabulous shoes -- they feel very much like my Vibram Five Fingers, but are much more stylish and I can wear them to work without sideways looks. :) I am so happy that I found them. I was surprised that I needed to down-size one full size from 8 to 7 (even the 7.5 seemed to large). I LOVE these shoes. They are my new favorite. I'll be buying more colors.
