Customer Reviews Merrell Wrapt Mid WP

This is really a nice shoe. I love the way it looks... for here in rural Montana I'd go so far as to call this shoe a little dressy! Be aware that this is considered a "barefoot" shoe so it has a beautifully wide toe box that allows your toes to wiggle and grip. It also has a pretty flat profile and thin sole so you feel quite a bit of any rocky terrain you are walking on, though it does have a nice arch support. The tread pattern is great for gripping rocky ground you might be walking on, but boy oh boy does it hold on to dirt, mud, goose poop. So if you are wearing it on any kind of terrain that might stick be sure to take these shoes off before you go inside or really really scrape and brush and inspect before you track it inside. Oh... one other thing, I do find the higher top on these shoes can be really uncomfortable on my achilles if I'm sitting for an extended period (like in the car, or on a plane). I got a pair of the lower rise version too, and those are much more comfortable on that tendon.

The webste mistakenly says they run large and to size down. I've purchased a least 20 pairs of Merrells over the years and one can count on the side. A 7.5 is a 7.5 no matter what. Because of the instructions, I ordered a 7 and it was too small. I returned it and let customer service know about the inacuracy of the sizing statement but they haven't corrected it. Just received my white 7.5 shoes. They are beautiful and perfectly sized. Will test the waterproofing in my rainy climate tomorrow.

This item is a comfortable shoe, but dont order a size down as suggested. I found it runs pretty true to size to slightly smaller. Order your size or a size up for best fit.

I feel like I'm walking on air when I wear the Wrapt.

I ordered half a size smaller as recommended. The boots were too small, a little narrow. I returned and didnt reorder. I have several pairs of Merrell boots/shoesbut this pair just wasnt what I had in mind. In general, Merrell products seem to not be consistent in sizing. I loved the first pair of Moabs i had. Replaced with same boots, but never felt like the first ones. Later I ordered a wide size in the Moab, but I dont care for those either. I do have one pair that seem comfortable so far. I think I will need to try on in the store from now on, on line purchases of Merrell dont seem to go that well. The pair I have and they fit good I purchased in the store (Acsdemy).

I wore these shoes on a 7 mile hike right out of the box.fantastic. The following day scrambled up wash to a mesa top, soles were grippy and felt sure footed. Ive worn many barefoot styles from Merrell, always an 8, but these are shorter in length. With cushioned socks these barely worked, you might size up a 1/2 size. Green color is an awesome neutral.

Waterproof. Comfortable. Flexible enough and let's your toes grip.

Amazing shoe, wish it fit. Recommendation was to size down 1/2 size and I did. Big mistake. I normally wear a size 9 (Euro 40), so I ordered the 8.5 (39) and my toes hit the end of the shoe - hard stop :( And now they dont have my size in stock. Wish I would have ordered my normal size.

Very light & comfortable. No breaking in needed! Wider in the front, which is great because of my bunions. Runs about half size too small. Ordered 9.5 and had to return for a 10. They look great with almost anything!!

For me these shoes are perfect. Very comfortable. Lots of space in the toe box. Very good traction. Waterproof. And nice looking. I usually wear 9 - 9.5. I got a size 10 and the fit is good.

The black Merrill Mid Wrapt Barefoot Hiking Boot is great. I wear an 8 in most shoes, but I use orthotics because of my high instep arches, so I went one size larger and with my black Thorlo roll top socks they are very comfortable and fit perfect. I have arthritis in both knees so I needed a flat sole like a tennis shoe. These barefoot waterproof hiking boots are great and keep your feet warm. My boots took me out to a formal dress dinner restaurant. My attire was black velvet and the black wrapt boots looked very high fashion and upscale haute couture. I wanted easy walk and comfort and a dressed up look. These boots answered all the above.

I bought these a week ago and have worn them every day since. They fit like they were meant for my feet right out of the box, and I've already gotten compliments. Perfect toebox and so comfy! I like they way they look, and they came with appropriately sized shoelaces, unlike a lot of hiking boots. I bought them because I wanted a barefoot hiking boot, and I live in the Pacific Northwest so it had to be at least waterproof (wish they made these in Gore-tex). As a barefoot shoe, they're not. The sole doesn't feel any thinner than any of my other shoes/boots. But they fit so well I kept them anyway. Now onto the bad...the soles are EXTREMELY slippery on wet concrete/paved surfaces. I slipped and almost fell yesterday just walking across a concrete patio. For being a waterproof shoe, the soles are just not up to wet surfaces. They're fine on packed gravel or dirt trails, but I was shocked at how slippery they are on hard surfaces. Dangerously so. Had I not worn them outside already, and despite all the things I love about them, I might have returned them because of this. Would love to see this same boot with Gore-tex, a thinner actually barefoot sole with an improved, non-slip surface (Vibram?). However, I love them enough to still give them.

Bought these few weeks ago, no breaking needed; boots have great room for toes, length great for long second toes. Really like these barefoot boots, these are as comfortable as vivobarefoot boots great stability
