Customer Reviews Merrell Bare Access Flex

I have a very narrow foot and even narrower heel for one foot and this specific show is an excellent fit.

I have been running in the pace gloves on road for years, and Altras for technical trail for the last few years. I like these even better than Altras, they have great rock protection but better feel for the trail and fit my normal width feet well, allowing good toe spread even with toe socks. I've run 30+ mile trail runs in them happily the last couple of weeks and will wear them for a hilly, rooty, rocky, muddy 100 miler in a month. Thank you Merrell for taking zero drop to your trail shoes!

These were a Christmas gift. The size is perfect and the color choices are fun.

I've been a Merrell fan for a long time and have extremely flat feet with severe plantar fasciitis and these shoes are my magic trick. I can work a 16 hours day, walking over 10,000 steps a day in these shoes and still feel comfortable at the end of the day. LOVE them.

I don't know if I'm just lucky or if everybody feels this way--Merrell shoes FIT me like gloves, and they have the most comfortable arch support. I got a dark blue color, black/metallic lilac, that looks pretty hip if I do say so. I can work out at the gym or dress these up with jeans or slacks. I'm rapidly becoming a shoe snob, I want only shoes that feel like Merrell's.

Arrived earlier than expected and was fit to size!

My feet had been hurting for a couple months and a podiatrist recommended a few shoe brands, including Merrell. I ordered my shoes and have been so relieved that they fit perfectly and I have no pain. Perfect!

Love the minimum sole on this shoe. Feel more connected to the ground.

I order these for my wife and she loves them. Great fit and color.

Great shoe for being on your feet a lot. Comfortable and just what was expected. Couldn't ask for a better fit. Thanks

I never write reviews but I have been wearing this running shoe for years. In attempts to branch out I've tried other brands but have always come back to this shoe and have bought pairs time and time again. Never have a had such a comfortable and lightweight shoe. I love the fact that it's minimal but not totally bare. The wide toe base with the extra reinforcement on the toe is wonderful because my toe always eventually wears through the top of other shoes. this is the best running shoe ever.

I walk at least 15 miles a day at work. 10 hours a day. I've wasted tons of money buying other name brand shoes that still left my feet hurting at the end of the day. I kept thinking I needed shoes with all the extra cushion and high soles. I heard about zero drop shoes and thought, well, I've tried everything else so I'll go the opposite way and try these. Omg! I wore them straight from the box. No breaking in period. I like the wide toe box. Not that I have wide feet. I've found it's better on me to have a wider toe box walking so much at work. I'm not dying to take them off at the end of the day like with other shoes in the past. I am so amazed with these shoes that I bought a second pair in a different color.

I was wearing Alta because they have a wide toe box, these do too. They are less money too! They are very comfortable and will be perfect to wear to work every day.

The most surprising thing about this shoe is how light it is. This is not your normal clunky, heavy work out shoe. It's a dream to wear. Very comfortable. Just the right amount of arch support. Great for walking, which is what I use them for.

I've these shoes have been wearing them for over a year now ! I make sure to change them out every 3 months just because I put miles on them! Super comphy and durable .

Purchased online, was worried about fit but they are perfect. Comfortable, looks great and are worth the cost.

This seems like a wonderful shoe. I am a long-time fan of Merrell xero drop shoes. This was a new style for me and it was a little larger than anticipated so I will be returning it. I've already purchased another Merrell shoe to replace it and am extremely happy with it.

I need Zero drop shoes for walking, and these were perfect. They are very light weight without loosing any features. The toe area is also wider than other shoes I have, which is also a feature I need. Highly recommend!

I loved the quality of this shoe; craftsmanship and colors were spot on. Very light weight. The sizing is a little long though, so keep that in mind when ordering. I normally where an 8 or 8.5, and both were too long. A 7.5 was the best fit.

I ordered these as my primary gym shoe but will order another pair as my basecamp shoe. I love the fit of the wide toe box and supportive arch. Although minimal, they still have excellent underfoot cushioning. Order a pair before they sell out!

I love these shoes! I ordered the Aruba blue, size 10. They are a perfect fit for me. (Normally wear size 10). The color is vibrant and fun! I would order them again and recommend them for anyone looking for a comfortable walking shoes!

These shoes are incredibly light. I couldn't believe how little the package weighed. There is plenty of arch support, but I wish there was more stability in the heel. I always feel there is too much room in the front of a Merrell shoe. The shoe is attractive but the upper is very thin - almost like mesh so these probably aren't for there cold or the wet. Overall, I'm satisfied.

For several years, I have worn the Merrell Vapor Glove to run but began needing something with a bit more arch support. I decided to try the Bare Access Flex and have been very happy with it. It has the wide toe bed that I need, fits snug around the heel, and just the right amount of arch support.

I am trying to find a shoe comparable to the women's agility peak flex 2 that you no longer make. I bought 3 pair , 2 of which were reported to be like the peak flex.. Although they don't come close to being similar I can wear them, just not for long distance walking. The Peak flex has much more sole thickness and fit snug and perfect. The other 3 fit kind of "baggy". With that bing said you can't beat Merrell! Bring back the Agility peak flex 2 PLEASE!
