What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Laces are elastic. This sole, that's intentional. If you want a minimal shoe so it’s feels like you’re bare foot when squatting or deadlifting, using kettlebells, etc. Become a freak beast monster.
Great support and fit. A tad larger than expected for the size, but not bad. Other than that, great upgrade in all other aspects over the previous version. Snug fit but still enough room for socks.
Plenty of room for toe splay in the the toe box. Can wear toe spacers comfortably. Nice roomy toe box with enough room for my foot to sprawl out.
Cons
This creates a ton of risk in if your size is off, returning becomes infeasible. The stitching and glue is worthless. I’m returning them and reordering 2s.
Highlights
Quality
These shoes are well made and fit perfectly.
Great fit, true to size and very durable.
These became my go to shoes after 2 days.
Too tight and this fabric “caves in” and pushes on your foot.
Price
Really love this shoe, originally bought on amazon but size was a bit big (buy true to size), as this is older version hard to ... Read More
I was looking for a pair of decently priced barefoot shoes to help build up my plantar.
Competitiveness
Nike has since gotten worse, and no long offer barefoot or no rise shoes.
I’ve always had good luck with merrell shoes and these are no different.
Not quite as good as the original nike frees were, but as close as you can get these days.
Sure, they won't win any fashion competition, but at least you won't look like a freak like when you wear the five fingers.

I’ll come edit this later and add a photo but these have a slight curve to them that doesn’t seem logical for the “natural foot” idea behind minimalist shoes

The soles are relatively durable and the comfort is unmatched in any other of my shoes

While the soles are plenty durable for me they are not thick

Normally i wear the vibram 5 finger shoes for walking but lets face it the five fingers are ugly and a bad fashion statement
