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 love these shoes. They are my first barefoot shoe. Very comfortable and so, so cute and delicate. That is what I love about them the most - light, delicate and pretty. Love love love them.

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.

Stylish, cute, comfortable, athletic, fun... Where have you been all my life? I have been searching for a show like this for years! I finally found it and will be ordering a few more pairs! There is one thing to mention: these are barefoot shoes so it's like walking barefoot. Walking barefoot all day can make your legs feel strange after a while and, for now, I can only wear these shoes a max of 10 hours a day. Great, fun shoe! I love it!

Took one look and was ready to send these back. Then I put them on! Amazing. These are now my all day everyday clean shoe. They are so comfy. Better than barefoot!

I have narrow feet and a high arch so I did have to put insoles in them. I have several Merrell shoes and can trust them. I don't buy shoes very often but a friend recommended you and I took the plunge!

NOW I understand the barefoot shoe trend! First off, these shoes are very cute. They are the perfect casual slip-on, as far as being appropriate for my casual office environment, or for going out for a glass of wine, or slipping on after yoga class. They are comfortable like wearing a glove. They have NO support, basically, and they are not intended to. As soon as you put them on, you find that your stride changes to cushion the bottom of your foot - you start to glide like a cat stalking prey, or a bow-hunter creeping silently through the woods. It engages every muscle from your tippy toes to your abs. I love them. I ordered my regular size 7, and I thought they might be a tiny bit small, but after a couple days wear, they feel perfect.

I am very picky about my shoes. Put these on when I first got them and didn't take them off again until bedtime. Had to wear a spot Band-Aid on my left 5th toe for protection for 2-3 days. The detailed stitching adds to their cuteness factor.

These are the most comfortable shoes I own. People either find barefoot shoes uncomfortable or very comfortable (within reason; there are some poorly made shoes of both types out there). If you don't need a lot of support or correction (ie don't pronate, etc) then these might be just the casual shoes for you. I don't like them in the rain (I hate having wet feet), and there are some materials they are not a pleasure to walk on (uneven gravel or incredibly hot asphalt), but I work in NYC, and they are fine for day to day walking on hot city pavements. These are by far and away my favorite shoes; I wear them to work almost daily in the summer and most days when I am at home. They do not get smelly (I do wear small socks that you can't see with them), and they do not move around or cause blisters when you walk. That said, if you have very delicate feet or cannot stand the thought of feeling the textures of the surface you are walking on, you should stay away from barefoot shoes in general. I would buy these and others from their line again (and will when these ones wear out).

I purchased these shoes (tan) over a year ago, they still look great, and they continue to be the most comfortable shoes I own. When they get dirty, I throw them in the washing machine and let them air dry. I wear these shoes with shorts, skinny jeans, capris and khaki or jean shirts. People compliment me on these shoes often, and ask where they can buy a pair. While traveling, they are super easy to slip on and off (at the airport security check & on the plane), also, they are easy to pack (flat) in a suitcase or carry on luggage.

These are very good looking barefoot comfort shoes. I ordered my true size and they're a teeny-tiny bit short - but I knew if I went up a half size, they'd be too big. I broke them in around the house and they gave enough to be comfortable. I run in barefoot shoes, and now can be just as comfortable at work or out.

I can only smile when I think of these shoes. I took these on a trip to Europe and wore them EVERYDAY! They were super comfortable and kept my feet from hurting while walking for hours and hours. Mind you I have plantar faciitis in both feet from years of athletics and I was able to see everything I wanted to see without having to stop due to pain. If you are considering buying these shoes, DO IT. You will look great with skirts or pants, they are easy to get on and off (airports!) and they keep your feet happy. What more could you want?

These are incredibly comfortable. I wear a 9.5 or 10 usually, and a 9 fit perfectly. It took a few days to get used to the sole, but I wear them constantly, even standing all day at work. I do wear flats socks with them, and they don't fall off like other flats. LOVE these shoes.
