Pros

These are my go to shoes for every day minimalist wear. The soles are relatively durable and the comfort is unmatched in any other of my shoes. They're about as close to barefoot as you're going to get. Love the merrell minimalist shoes.

A nice snug fit though the heel and mid foot. Great for my high arch. It strengthens my feet and ankles when i run. Use them for squats.

Toe box is perfect. Plenty of room for toe splay. Can wear toe spacers comfortably. Nice roomy toe box with enough room for my foot to sprawl out.

Great for those of us w problems w our street thumpers. Been rocking these a few years now. For me, they're best at around town and playing w my kids at parks amd in the yard.

The merrell feel as nice, like you are wearing nothing. The tread adds an appropriate amount of cushion (even tho there isnt any) if you want to wear thick socks and be outside in the winter. Runs true to size.

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.

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.
