If you are a long distance runner that desires to feel light on your feet and quick on the trial, I suggest the Trail Glove for you. I'm a Merrell Ambassador and have happily been running in the Trail Glove for several years and find them best for when I'm pushing 10-20 miles on trail (even with rocks, sticks and spires). I did rate these lower on the comfort scale because they do not have the best arch support. If that is something you need, I would suggest looking more into the Women's Agility Synthesis Flex that has more cushion. The Trial Glove is true to it's name, it's designed to be closer to running barefoot than with a shoe and create no barrier between feeling the grip, grit and curve of the trail.

These are fantastic for running they fit my foot like a glove and are lightweight. Fit true to size. I will buy another when these are worn out.

Hubby got a pair and said I needed a pair. He even paid for them. They arrived today and so far I love them. It’s a little different getting used to a barefoot style shoe. But since we are living in Georgia (hot, hot, hot here), I t’s going to be great to have such a comfy shoe!

I got these shoes specifically for traveling to Cinque Terre, Italy. They are lightweight and easy to pack but best of all, they went up, down and around the rockiest trails in comfort and confidence. I hiked hundreds of kilometres and they never let me down. And, they're attractive looking so I can tour Florence in style and comfort too!

I wear these shoes at the gym and out hillwalking with the dogs. They take a little getting used to, but they are comfortable and stylish. I would like to have all the different colour schemes

Cute style, I choose the Persian Red, which is almost a rose color and I love it. This is my first pair of minimalist shoes, I wear a light weight footie sock with them as I don't like the sweaty feeling. The toe box was nice and roomy, which I need and it has a moderate arch support, the size ran a little large, I had to send it back and get a smaller size. No hassle with the return as the shipping is free both ways, that's why I love Zappos!

Loved everything about the shoe. Started wearing right out of the box. Wear a size 8 in Merrells and bought an 8. Perfect. I have a wide foot with high instep and these work so good for me!

I wear the barefoot from Merrel for about 8 years now and would not change it for the world. Very comfortable, cute and you almost feel like if you were barefoot. I adore it. Please, make your feet happy and buy those.

I love these. I use them for work which requires me to be on the move for up to eight hours. My feet feel great after a long day. The fit true to size and have a roomy toe box.

I hadn't bought Barefoot shoes for several years and the sizing has changed. I usually wear a 7 but in order to allow toe room when I do aerobic cardio, I go to an 8. I have been wearing socks but may try w/out socks for tomorrow's class. IWANT THE GRAY ONES!!!! I did sign up for them so I hope they restock soon. More colors such as purple or teal?

I bought these for a trip to Colorado/Wyoming to have something that I could wear walking on the streets and in the mountains (and not have to bring my big boots, since it wasn't a hiking exclusive trip). These fit the bill perfectly! There was zero break in time, and they're extremely comfortable and I didn't experience any annoying pokes when stepping over rocks. They're nice and grippy, and you'll get a bit of a toe workout, but they helped me feel a little more sure-footed than other shoes. I like that the tongue is sort of sewn in place so it doesn't move and get uncomfortable. I wish they came in more low key colorways (aka a true black), I'd like to have a pair I can use as everyday shoes and not feel like a dork. My feet aren't wide in the sense that I have to buy wide shoes, but are a little meatier, and I sized up have a size because I could feel the outsides of the shoe becoming uncomfortable as I walked up and down the hallway in my house trying them on.

This is my second time owning this pair of shoes. I ruined my first pair (that was already 5 yrs old) after spilling bright yellow paint on them, but was so happy to purchase another pair as I wanted to update the old ones anyways. I suffer from IT band issues, and this shoe is the only thing i've found that helps. (Other than stretching of course). So I'm very grateful for this product. Thanks, Merrell!

The shoe is very comfortable with good arch support. The size was right on compared to other Merrell shoes I own. They can be a bit on the warm side for your feet. Was able to walk all day in them right out of the box no break in required.

I've owned multiples of every version of the Trail Glove, and in my opinion this is the best iteration to date. Subjectively, the toe box seems a bit smaller than the Trail Glove 3, but it is still sufficient. I've yet to take a *lengthy* run with these, but so far I'm quite pleased. I especially love the asymmetric tongue (which should eliminate the problem I had with an early version's tongue shifting I uncomfortably) and the flat tape laces.

These felt so good when I put them on! I've been pretty set with wearing a size 8 in New Balance, but was looking for a minimalist shoe. These felt like clouds on my feet! I do feel that they ran big... I tried the 7 1/2 and the 7 and was torn between the two and ended up with the 7 because my toe fit better under the toe guard (which is so awesome since I wear out a hole at the top of shoes with my big toe... I looked at the predecessor as well and preferred these for the toe guard).

I am quite happy with this shoe. As always, I love the vibram sole. It fits my foot snugly without being tight and the toe box does not pinch. The sole is firm and thick enough to protect my feet from the ground, but flexible enough for a natural foot feel. As always, personally I order up a half size with my running/walking shoes and the fit was fine. Nothing will beat the feel of the original Trail Glove, but I do think these actually support my foot better than the originals. While I hate socks and you can wear these without, I do wear a thin toe sock, it helps with moisture. Your feet will sweat in these. They aren’t particularly airy. I could also use one more lace hole to pull the heel/ankle in a bit, and I don’t love the stretchy laces. But laces are easily changed. Over all I’m very happy with them so far. I mainly use them for walking and light hiking.

I have been wearing barefoot Merrell's and often disappointed when models change. However, I am extremely happy with this shoe, which replaces my old glove 3 shoes. This shoe exceeded my expectations in fit, accommodating my need for a wide toe box, moderate arch support and very cushioned for all types of surfaces. I have tried many different models and returned them, however this is a keeper.

I have been walking for exercise for 40 years. This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn! It is light, gives good support, was comfortable immediately. I get compliments from young and old alike on its looks!!
