Customer Reviews Merrell Bare Access Flex

Merell's Are my go to fave shoes and these were fantastic as expected! I'm on my feet all day on tile floors and these give support but flex too and the zero drop is perfect. Exactly what I was looking for and only Merrell has delivered

I love how light they are. They also give great support.

Exceptionally light with bare foot profile is very comfortable for me.

This is my 2nd pair of this Flex shoe. I love the fit in the toes (a little wider than some) and they are extremely comfortable for walking long distances. I also found them to be cool in the summer weather.

I bought these shoes to wear trail hiking for vacation and absolutely love love love these shoes! They are feather light and conform to the foot perfectly without having to wear my insoles. I am now wearing them during my fitness walks everyday and will be buying these for now on!

I usually wear the Vapor Glove and other nearly barefoot styles, but wanted something with just a little more to the sole for rougher terrain and to keep my feet off the ground a bit when it rains. I was relieved to find that the Bare Access Flex fits comfortably - similar to the Vapor Glove - with just enough difference to suit the purpose. I am very pleased with them.

The pair I bought last year have proven to be so comfortable that I bought two more pairs in case you discontinue tgem

I started running 5 years ago.. For 5 years I've been wearing Merrells .. I recently got the Bare Access Flex.. As soon as I put them on they were like heaven on my feet!! So light weight!! So comfortable!! I can't wait to put miles on them!! Merrells will always be my running shoe of choice.

i have a hard time finding shoes that are comfortable these are great.

I purchased 4 pairs of a different Bare Access style several years ago and have loved them. I was a little hesitant because the new Bare Access looked a little different and I have an extremely sensitive foot with varying issues that have followed neuroma surgery and several fractures. I have been extremely pleased with this new pair and decided to purchase another color. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a light weight/comfortable shoe for walking and the gym. You won't be disappointed!

I love this shoe and will be getting another pair. The only thing I'm not a fan of is that they're loose around my ankle area but that's probably due bc I have very thin feet.

These are so comfortable and feel so light! Great for running and very flexible.

I love the feel of a 'barefoot' shoe and hate the feel of a tennis shoe, but also need some arch support not typically present in a 'barefoot' type shoe. This shoe has the comfort and feel of a 'barefoot' shoe while providing the arch support of a tennis shoe. Love this shoe!

These shoes are so comfortable and light. The mesh breathes and allows your feet to be cool in any temp. And, I live in Texas!!! Soles protect the foot from rocks and they are secure on wet rocks. Love em!

Great arch support, and a super flexible sole for feeling the ground under your feet, something I find very useful for balance. There is no sole cushion at all, however, and no insole, a problem if you have arthritis. I bought a thin cushioned insole and had no problem fitting it and my high-arched feet in, and they are super comfortable. I have been wearing them in the house (winter in Wisconsin), but will be using them for day hiking. I love the dark blue color I ordered.

I stumbled upon these shoes when I needed new workout shoes because I was having really bad shin splints. I knew I needed something with great arch support, since I have really high arches, and my shin splints were a result of a lack of an arch. These shoes didn't look like they would give me enough support, but they were light and I tried them on. Also, I wear a 10.5 and therefore, I am limited in my selection of shoes I can wear as it is. Upon slipping these on my feet, they were satisfied with the length and roomy toe box. I think I have usually weird shaped feet, but I'm probably not alone. Anyhow, large ball, narrow heel, and really high arch. I supinate when I walk and my heels turn inward a little as well. I did not notice any of my weird feet issues when I put these shoes on! After lacing them up, I was really surprised at how much of an arch support there really is - and just how well they conform to my feet! The ultimate test, though, was how well they felt after a workout. I know these are primarily for trail running, but I use them for my workouts at OrangeTheory and I wear them every day out and about! After ONE week of wearing them to the gym, my shin splints disappeared!! I couldn't believe it, because I'd had shin splints for a long time! I was so impressed with my first pair, that I bought another pair, and am about to buy 3 more! I love these shoes and I really hope Merrell never discontinues them as it's really difficult for me to find shoes that work with all my weird feet issues, and these do!

I'm freshly into running and buying Bare Flex was a game changer for me. No more pain issues that I used to have with other shoes so now I'm out almost every day, having super comfy loooooong runs. I guess, my only slight concern is the inner mesh showing signs of wear at the heel after a month of usage.

Love these shoes! The arch support is perfect for my high arches and the fit is perfect.

Good arch support. All weight bears on the heel and center of the foot not just on the ball of the foot.

Shoes are great. I have 3 pair!

Excellent. Exactly as expected.
