Didn't like the quality of the shoe. Looked very cheap. Not the usual Merrill quality.

Usually wear an 8 in a Merrell--returned the 8s and am keeping the 8.5s. the top of my big toe is touching the top of the shoe. Also like others, why are the sides of the shoes developing holes and worn areas, when the soles look quite new?? Love the style, wish the materials were sturdier.

I'm so completely disappointed in this shoe! I love Meryl's, and have loved them for years. I've always recommended them to friends. But this pair, not worth the while. I have been running in these since the end of May, So not even 2 months yet. And I already have a hole in the sole! Ugh! Way too expensive for the soles to wear out this quickly. Completely disappointed.

I have worn 6 1/2 all my life as a perfect fit. in this shoe, my big toes rub up against the front of the shoes. I wish Merrell would get it together and ensure that ALL lasts are cut to the same dimensions, instead of letting various overseas manufacturers decide what the length should be. Uneven manufacturing standards.

I've had every version of this shoe and #3 is the only one that started ripping within two weeks and was fully torn in several places within months. I was so disappointed after the longevity of #1 and #2. I trusted Merrell and bought version 4 and so far am satisfied, but as a single mom on a fixed income, this was a sad waste of money. Get the new version.

Very pretty sneakers, barefoot feeling, no arch support (I do not need it). I really wanted to love these shoes (I use them for crossfit), but they are annoying. The tongue keeps going far to the side, which is not resolved by tightening the laces. The laces are flat, and have a tad of elastic; one might think that would allow for very fine tuning, but in reality they are always uneven and disadjusted. I cannot return these shoes because I have already worn them, but I would not purchase them again, and do not really mind if they are not durable because once they break I will be ok with switching to another model/brand.
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstock, Camper

Size mislabeled? I've had many Merrell's all 8.5, and these are a FULL size larger. Weird.

I love the brightness of these shoes. It took me awhile to get used to the barefoot fit in them, but I have found them to be decently comfortable. Maybe not ideal for long ours on your feet on a hard gym floor. I am PE teacher and I have worn these every school day for since the beginning of August. The fabric is starting to fall apart. It won't be long before my toe goes through the fabric. Soon holes will be completed on either side of the ball of my foot as there are tears just above the rubber coating on the fabric on both sides of both my feet. I have other Merrell shoes and love them, but I am disappointed in these.

I have had these shoes about 5 months. I still wear them but about 2.5 months in the uppers started falling apart and now my socks poke through. Basically the mesh can't withstand the tension from fastening the laces! I've had a lot of Merrell shoes and loved them so this poor design was surprising. The shoes are wonderfully comfortable and really do fit like a glove. I'm outside of the return window but I won't replace my disintegrated Vapor Gloves with another pair. I'd advise waiting for the next edition.

Sending these back. Toe looked odd but found them uncomfortable and I like a barefoot style. No where near as comfortable as the Innov8 brand!

I have had several pairs of previous barefoot shoes. These had a much wider toe area and therefore not as comfortable, felt clumsy.

In so disappointed! I've been buying the the vapor glove 2 for work...I'm a massage therapist and they give me a great bare foot feel without being bare foot. I didn't realize the glove 2 is no longer available when I purchased these. I put them on and right away they felt wrong...stiffer all over and the sole on the right foot actually uncomfortable. Then I noticed the pattern was different than my normal shoes. They have to go back. I'm so disappointed!

Started out great. But after about two months wear I started to feel a pain on my inside heel and I've never felt anything like this before. Even with previous Merrell Barefoot shoes I've worn. I was very disappointed with this experience

These used to be my favorite shoes. They changed the size and now they don’t fit. Not the size down or up from my usual size either. What a bummer. I am the kind of person that will wear the same thing my whole life if it works but now that they changed the size I can’t buy a new pair to replace the old. Don’t fit like a glove at all.

I saw some reviews saying these shoes fell apart incredibly fast. I was hoping it wasn't that common and I'd get a pair that would last. Sadly, I didn't. They have holes forming in the toes and the side of the shoe is separating after only a month of light use. I'm 9 months pregnant so I can assure you I'm not doing anything crazy or lengthy. Disappointed because I love the zero feel of them and they'd be great if they would just not fall apart. Merrell really needs to up their quality to what it once was.

Wow! This is NOT the shoe I thought I ordered! It may be perfect for others. Should have realized that "glove" meant like a glove!!!! Too tight to the skin, nothing underneath, and hard to put on! Talking old fashioned gloves!! Yall prolly don't even remember how tight they are!! And from the photos I thought it should a heavier (thicker) sole - I'd say this shoe is perfect for exercise routines, around the house etc. But the fit is very tricky - If I were to keep this I'd exchange it for at least 1/2 size larger!!
I'd also recommend:
can't seem to find any brand with consistent sizing!!!!

The sole runs over the top of the shoe, hitting your toes at every step. Run wide but I might have made them work if it weren't for that.

I ordered these in my usual size as my two other pairs I love (earlier version) were wearing out. The toe box is way too small and hurt my feet when I went on a long walk. Disappointed.

What is with the covered big toe area? If your toe sticks up AT ALL, this is going to be super uncomfortable. This design flaw negated the wide toe box and comfortable flat sole. Too bad! These shoes were great on all counts but the one deal-breaker. Returned!

These are not my first Merrell bare foot style shoe. I had a pair of Pace Goves that I loved and held up so well. These, not so much. After maybe a month of used there was a hole on the toe where the mesh meets the rubber and before long there were matching holes. So bummed at the quality and design, this was my first bad experience with Merrell shoes.
