Merrell Men's J135369 Sneaker

Hands down BEST minimalist shoes I’ve ever owned in my life! (For context, I was in the Marine Infantry for five years, and have done high intensity forms of fitness, so I’m experienced in the difference between effective and ineffective footwear). The current arena I’m using these in is Danza Azteca (a traditional dance of Indigenous Mexico) a dance style of prolonged, hours long dance sessions featuring rapid, explosive movements, and these puppies PERFORMED! I also use them for basic weightlifting where they feel absolutely spectacular. FAVORITE THINGS 1. Toe Box: perfect amount of room for my toesies without them feeling like they’re sliding around. 2. True Flat: the drop is quite minimal and your connection to the ground and its nuances is really gratifying. 3. Weight: they’re lightweight as he** and you feel truly barefoot. 4. Sock form: there’s no pesky tongue flopping to one side or the other, just a stitched sock entry that holds to the ankle wonderfully. 5. Laces: very sturdy and not floppy. 6. Aesthetic: the black ones are very slick looking, modern styling without being distracting or cringe 7. Overall fit: mine were correctly sized at 10, didn’t have to go larger or smaller. They hit the foot really nicely without being constricting at all. If you’re on the fence, try them! You won’t regret it!

Estos son zapatos descalzos reales, no he encontrado otros más flexibles y que se adapten así al pie, mala idea ir de hike con ellos las piedras lastiman pero para la ciudad y el estar en casa, no he encontrado nada más cómodo, lastima de la diferencia tan radical de precio entre colores, definitivamente los volveré a comprar

Offers an exceptional minimalist experience with its lightweight design and close-to-the-ground feel. The flexible sole provides excellent ground feedback. I wouldn't say the toe box is wide like altra shoes, but I find it comfortable. They're not narrow. The vapor gloves have very thin soles, if you're looking for minimal shoes for trails and gravel paths then the vapor trails would be more suited with a bit more between the foot and the ground.

This is my 3rd pair of Merrell Glove in 5 years. One of the best 'barefoot' foot wear that has helped me in eliminating pain and inflammation in cross country running.
