Customer Reviews Merrell Pace Glove 3

I had an earlier version of this shoe and loved it - it was great for running, hiking - even very steep and rocky trails, and for crossfit. I wore them til they were falling apart. I bought the Pace Glove 3, and something was digging into the top of my left foot. I figured I had a defective one, and exchanged it for a new pair. The new ones were good for about 3 days, then the left shoe again became very painful. It seems like the leather (plastic?) reinforcement on the top of the shoe doesn't bend properly, and is so uncomfortable they are unwearable. This is really disappointing, as these had been, in the earlier model, a fantastic shoe.

I have had several pairs of barefoot sneakers from Merrell and the new versions are so disappointing. These are uncomfortable and caused stabbing pain in my right foot when I walked. Also I bought the teal and orange and the colors were really silly looking in person. Bring back the originals!

I read the reviews that these were not as good as the original Pace Glove. Wish I'd listened because they were right. Weird material around the lace loops is stiff and digs into your foot just walking in the house. Merrell, bring the old Pace back!

The original Merrell Pace Glove's were the perfect running shoe for me. I was sorely disappointed when the version 2 was released and lacked any wide widths. I was hoping with all the similar comments I had seen from other users needing wide shoes that version 3 would refill this gap. Sadly, it has not. I tried some regular width shoes hoping maybe the redesign had widened the toe box. No luck. My pinkle toe rests on the edge of the footbed. Please, Merrell make wide barefoot running shoes again! My 3 pairs of originals are getting very worn. I have tried several other shoes and none of them fit like those did.

I couldn't wait for the Pace Glove 3 to hit. I proudly opened my package when these beauties came in the mail. Unfortunately this version of the Pace Glove disappointed! This is no longer the minimalist shoe I am accustomed to wearing! What happened Merrell?! Please, please stay true to my original barefoot experience! Very disappointed in the third model. I'll keep 'em because I have every version of the shoe thus far but I'm definitely repurchasing the Merrell Pace Glove 2 for my daily running shoe!
