Customer Reviews Merrell Barefoot Wonder Glove

I was looking for total comfort and that's what I got with these awesome shoes! My feet sweat but not in these. And I am one to have band-aids on hand for blisters but I never got a blister, not even a toe blister. They were comfortable and cute from the moment that I put them on. A must purchase shoe!

Nice minimalist shoe. Dressy enough for the office, but very comfortable. Like all minimal shoes, you need to be careful what type of pants you wear as to not walk on the pant legs all day. I'm rating the style a little lower because the big strap across the front gives these a more athletic look.

Love this show, adorable and comfortable! At first they felt tight, sort of as if my toes were getting squished forward... but after wearing them around the house for half an hour, they were totally broken in and felt fine.

After months of research about this barefoot thing, I decided to try it. These are, perhaps, the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned and yes, it does encourage a person to walk differently. There are times when more cushion might be nice (hours on concrete) but most of the time, the fact that I can feel what I'm walking on actually makes me pay more attention to posture and balance. The leather conforms like a glove to your foot. It was a teensy bit tight on my two littlest toes on the left foot, not enough to order the next size. Out came the shoe stretcher, et voil, a perfect fit. Wore then for miles of walking in Greece over Christmas. And they are cute!

These are great barefoot shoes! I wanted something I could wear on a vacation as we walk around and I was pleased with these. If you want cushion, this is not your shoe - but it is nice if you like the barefoot model. I took away a star for comfort because they run slightly smaller than I would like in the toe.

I am a teacher and am on my feet most of the day. I also have trouble finding flats that don't rub my feet so badly I end up with blisters. These shoes are perfect for both issues. They are so comfortable! This was my first pair of barefoot shoes, but they won't be my last. I have the black and the cream colors. They are casual enough to go with jeans or dressy enough for dress pants. After having tried so many flats I've lost count, I've finally found the perfect pair!

Merrell Barefoot shoes are wonderful! I am no athlete, so when I needed to strengthen my knee and leg muscles for an upcoming knee replacement surgery I knew I had some work to do. Besides doing minimal pre-op exercises, I bought a pair of Run Pace Glove shoes and gradually built up the length of time wearing them (very important!) and then wore them throughout my work day. I had no idea how much they had strengthened my legs until after the surgery when I began physical therapy. All the therapists and my doctor were amazed at how quickly my muscles recovered and how strong they were. Since then, I have bought 2 more pair of the Merrell Barefoot shoes, including this pair of black Life Wonder Glove that are dressy enough for church. I hope they keep making these shoes for a long time.

Love, love, love these shoes! Size and color are true. They feel like you are walking barefoot! Did I say I love these shoes?

These are very cute shoes. They are comfortable right out of the box. These are quite support-less but no different from any other ballet flats that I have. I usually am a solid size 9 but these were a little too big. I am sending them back for an 8½.

Comfortable shoes and nice color. I normally wear a 7.5/8. The 7.5 was a little small, and the 8 is a little loose but still comfortable.

This shoe is great - very comfortable! I'm a big fan of barefoot style shoes. I have very wide feet, and this shoe fits perfect. I think it runs a little on the small side. My standard shoe size is 7-7.5. I kept the size 7.5 but I think I could have gone up half a size. My favorite thing about this shoes is that they are simple enough to be worn with jeans but slender and cute to be worn with office apparel.

These are an excellent option for people who want minimalist/barefoot style shoes that they can get away with wearing at work. I've been wearing Vibram Performa Janes, but I kill the soles of those in about 6 months so that was getting to be an expensive footwear habit. It will take me a lot longer than 6 months to wear a hole through these! I've seen it mentioned to get a half size up from your normal size and agree. I wear a 10 in Merrell's barefoot burst wrap sandals but went up to a 10.5 in these so that my toes were not constantly hitting the top/front of the toe box. If I wore them with socks this would be a problem because my feet would slide forward inside the shoe, but barefoot, my foot stays put and toes feel great--there's so much room to spread them out and wiggle them. After you spend a lot of time in barefoot shoes, regular shoes end up feeling like prisons for your feet. These have solved that problem for me. I ordered the pink first, and just got my second pair, the black wool version. I expect these to be my primary work footwear for a long time to come.

I have wide feet and find it very difficult to find shoes that are comfortable to be in all day. I typically wear an 11 and the 11 in these are perfect without any pinching or rubbing. If you are familiar with barefoot shoes and are on the fence about purchasing these - just do it! Especially if you have wide feet.

I bought these for my 84-year-old mother for Christmas and she absolutely loves them! She had them in another color and just the day before Christmas told me that she wished she had them in black. I had to hide my smile behind my hand to keep from giving it away. She says that these are the most comfortable shoes she has ever owned. They fit very well. Thanks, Zappos, for the efficient service!

These shoes are very cute and lightweight - however, definitely on the wide side. I am an 11 narrow, but sometimes 11 mediums fit if cut on the narrow side. These are not. I only found one bare of barefoot Merrels that do fit long enough and a bit narrower - the lace up Dash model. If you have a wider foot, these are really worth a try!

These are my favorite shoes ever. It took a while for the muscles in my feet to get used to them, but now I wear them almost every day.

Love these shoes. Cute, comfortable and very light weight. They do feel as if you are barefoot. I would definitely recommend these to someone looking for a simple designed, yet fashionable shoe.

I absolutely love these shoes! They are very comfortable and cute - and I believe that barefoot shoes are better for your feet, but you do need to take time to get used to them. If I win the lottery, I will buy them in every color. I, too, selected "no arch support" because these "barefoot" shoes are not supposed to have any.

These shoes are very comfortable - and coming from someone with foot problems like mine, that's saying a lot. I'm thinking of getting another pair in red.

I have 2 pairs of the older Barefoot Glove shoes. They are meant to give your foot protection, but not support, it is like walking barefoot, but nothing getting stuck in your foot! I love them so much that I pretty much wear them year round. When I have to put on other shoes, they just don't feel right. I am almost ready to get another pair. My only complaint, they tend to start to smell after a while. If you wear them with ankle socks, that will take care of it. Otherwise, mine just go into the washer and dry naturally.

The elastic loop that hooks over the button to keep the strap secure won't stay secure so it tend to flop if it is bumped. Otherwise I liked the shoe but am returning it because can't cope with the strap flapping.

I have very high arches, and though it may not feel like arch support. The shoe molds to my foot, and is so light weight, I never wear anything else. I have all colors except one. And plan on getting my dad and mom Merrell technology for Christmas. It's really amazing!

Very comfortable shoes. I can walk all day in them. They look great with nice casual dresses and jeans. I get many compliments on them. A shoe insert fixed a foot smell problem that I have only had with these shoes. I love the shoes and recommend them.
