Customer Reviews Merrell Barefoot Wonder Glove

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.

After asking for recommendations for comfortable flats from FB friends (and getting a huge response!) I bought these shoes for a 2 week trip to Ethiopia. It was all about comfort for me but I still found these to be super cute! The first two days I wore them I thought I was going to cry with how much they hurt, a portion of that potential crying time in the Amsterdam airport when I wanted to toss them in the garbage can. I don't know what happened, but on day 3 and moving forward they became the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. I'm sure it just took my feet a little time to get used to not having a big cushiony bottom.

Great minimalist shoe. I love them for wearing to yoga. I also like them for walking about the mall. Perfect shoe for travel, feels like a slipper with good protection for the souls of your feet. I have 2 pair, love them!

I am a window clerk for the USPS and have been wearing this shoe for 1 1/2 years. I literately stand on my feet 8-10 hours a day. when I"m not working I am either barefoot or wearing Vibram 5 finger shoes. I used to have trouble with my feet, back and hips, after getting no relief from other shoes and inserts and the doctor, I decided to do the opposite of what the foot doctor was recommending. At age 56 I am doing better now than I have been in the last 15 years. I will never go back! Barefoot (or as close as you can get away with) is the only way to go! Love this shoe!

Barefoot shoes are wonderful, if you are ready to wear them. They do not offer support like many other shoes which encase your feet into rigid coverings offering heavily padded footbeds. It seems counter-intuitive to put on a shoe which does not fit the typical model; however, once your feet are made to work out again and strengthen, the magic begins. I love these shoes. Been running in Nike Free 3.0 soles with a minimal drop and lots of flexibility in a style which put the mid to forefoot on the ground first. The stride is shorter, but the shock to the knees and hips are minimized. I have become so accustomed to wearing flexible shoes. The thought of having to wear a more restrictive shoe with a skirt or non workout clothing had me concerned. Then I found Merrell's barefoot line and the Wonder Glove! They are perfect. Got them in black and they look dressy enough to go to a classics concert and great with jeans, too. I wear a US size 7.5-8 depending on manufacturer and style. In European sizes that translates to 37-38. I ordered 7.5. My feet are on the narrow side. The Wonder Glove is not too loose and stays nicely on my feet. The Vibram sole is flexible but sturdy making walking and even running comfortable. I did not buy these for running, but they can move nicely. Very happy with these shoes and with Zappos. Merrell's website offers some training tips on how to condition your foot for wearing barefoot shoes. These are same kind of exercises were given to me by a trainer with a masters degree in exercise physiology. I am stronger, more balanced and no longer suffer foot pain from plantar fasciitis.

The most comfortable and most stylish I ever had! I use these shoes at work where I stay on my feet all day long.

I have a pair of these in aluminum. These shoes are fantastically comfortable, very durable, and definitely cute. I have been wearing barefoot Merrell's for over a year and have noticed any foot pain I once had is virtually gone. These shoes are great for those with narrow heels - they allow plenty of room in the toe box without slipping at the heels. I have always had a problem with my toes feeling cramped by ballet flats. My least favorite thing about this shoe is how far the button the strap hooks on to sticks out. I find the button annoying a little annoying if I am sitting cross-legged.

Cute shoe. Looks stylish and dressy but seems robust. Packs very small. Like it better with cork inserts for support.

Love these shoes. I love to walk barefoot. I have better balance barefoot and I'm not as clumsy. These are the first pair of shoes I've owned that let me walk naturally. Since I'm used to walking barefoot and am on my feet all the time as a music teacher, there was no "adjustment period" for me. They felt amazing from day one. One warning, they are rather thin soled. They would not be appropriate for walking the hot sidewalks of phoenix in July-September. Anywhere else should be fine. :)

I have 3 pairs of Wonder Gloves. I love them - great for shopping and walking.

The best! Slip on and go! One of the hardest things to do is replace a favorite pair or shoes. I had worn my old ballerinas for years but when their time came, I found this great shoe, which is just as comfortable as a broken-in pair right away. I love Merrells and this style is one of many I enjoy.
