These shoes are very flexible and comfortable. They feel like freedom on your feet. I'd love to see more formal minimalist styles from Merrell.

I keep buying this style of shoe as they are light weight, wear well, and fit my foot. I keep my shoes on my boat when I'm sculling and they don't add any weight.

I love this shoe....it fits my foot really well. I don't run in it, but I do a lot of walking and have found it to be a good shoe that supports my feet, knees, hips and all those parts that can get painful if now wearing a good fit in shoes.
However, it is true they do not have a sole insert or arch support. I buy one that I like and put it in the shoes -- works perfectly. I almost always take the inserts out that come with other shoes and replace it with one that works well with my feet.
I'd also recommend:
none at this time. I used to wear Kalso Earth Shoes, but they no longer make the same shoes.

I have worn many other minimalist shoes and the Vapor Glove is the best! Snug under my arches and feels great for all of my runs! Wear these all day as a Pilates instructor and my feet feel great!

I love these shoes. I just started strength training and thought I needed some conventional sneakers for the gym. I typically wear shoes/sneakers without much support and never wear heals. All the cushioning felt really uncomfortable. These feel amazing right away. My feet are comfortable, my toes have room to spread out, and I feel grounded in my workout. I love the look too.

I recently transition to barefoot shoes for jumping rope, but now find that they are my go-to shoes! I'm loving the barefoot experience, & these shoes are awesome- comfortable & very well made.
I can't wait to get more!

Love these shoes. This is my 3rd pair. I honestly wish they were more hardy like the men's but they are great regardless. I love the color selection, lightness, and fit. Just avoid sharp rocks...the bottoms aren't super great with sharp things...just like if you were actually barefoot.

I have had a pair of Merrill barefoot running shoes that I retired from Zumba use and just wore as a walking shoe. After five years, they were getting worn a bit unevenly so I ordered both this shoe and the Trail Glove thinking I would decide between them. Well I ended up keeping both. This is a barefoot shoe, not the giant clodhopper that most athletic shoes are. I use it as a dance shoe. The black is pretty conservative, which works for me. Like all Merrill barefoot shoes, the toebox is generous. Allover a great dance and weightliftingshoe for me. If you love highly padded and structured shoes, this is not it. I go barefoot most of the time and don’t like having much between me and the ground, so take that into account when weighing my comments.

I really like these shoes. I was looking for a minimalist barefoot shoe and this is perfect. The color is awesome I’m going to be buying another pair. This shoe is not a cushy arch supporting shoe, it’s called barefoot for a reason. Highly recommend.

If you are looking for a barefoot feel with a non-grip sole, this is the perfect shoe. The next generation vapor glove has more tread that grips the surface, thus negating some of the barefoot experience. Order these while you still can.

This style of shoe is my all time favorite. I have a
black pair for around town and I love the funky colors for the gym. The best part, you don't have to break them in. They already fit like a glove, so comfortable!

I love all products Merrell for sure and this is another example of a comfy and stylish shoe. Low profile so wearing them with skirts looks good.

Love these shoes. A littler bigger than I expected, I got a 7, I think it's closer to a 7.5 for what I'm used to in other brands. But I like the fun anyway. I like the no ride from toe to heel. Great for lifting and running.

These are great for running, as long as you are used to barefoot shoes and your running form is good. They may take a little getting used to; my achilles and calves were definitely feeling it after my first workout yesterday. No real arch support, but the way the shoe is designed, it cradles your foot so that your arch is supported without having to have any bulky sole beneath it. However, if you have serious arch issues, barefoot footwear probably isn't for you anyway.
Overall, they are extremely light, comfortable and very stylish. I love the bright color!

Not very much to this show- as it's a barefoot style. Very lightweight. Great for summer.

Fit great right out of the box! Merrell shoes and sandals really fit my foot well. Bought these to go bicycling - more for the color than anything else. Wore them initially without socks - no prob, but on my second long bike ride I wore thin socks and was happier. FYI - I have a significant bunion on one foot and they still fit great - no too snug, but not loose.

I ordered these in Garden Topiary: loved the green! Reluctantly decided to return the green for a half size smaller in black but ONLY because I have enough flashy shoes and wanted a pair for times stealth is required. Normally I order a wide width and was a bit nervous these would be too tight since only regular width was offered. Not to worry: they were plenty roomy and some judicious lacing kept my high arch comfortable. I bought these because I love the Merrell Trail Glove 4 so much, so now I'm trotting around in two new pair of Merrells.

I read the reviews and should have listened. The toe box is too large. I have worn Merrell’s for years. I am a size 7 but have always worn size 7.5 in Merrell. These were huge on me. Will try to order in size 7.

I always wear a size 10, but these ran a little short, return and went with a 10.5. Fit perfect. Love them and so very comfortable.
