Merrell Women's Trail Glove 4 E-mesh Sneaker

This is my first pair of “barefoot tech” shoes, and I’m glad I did my research before buying a pair. I have high arches and a nerve issue (Morton’s neuroma), and was looking for a zero drop, “barefoot” shoe that would still provide at least some arch support, and have a generous toebox without any slippage. These shoes have a moderate arch support, while still having a very flexible base. The toebox is perfect, allowing natural alignment and movement, without slipping at all. They are extremely comfortable, and are my new favorite shoes. Though they aren’t cheap, they’re well-worth the cost for the fit and quality, IMO. I wear them every day, and will definitely buy these again. Not sure what I’m going to do now with my Brooks running shoes... :)

I really like these shoes and are very comfortable. The only complaint is that the mesh pushes through the straps on the side and looks a little like bubble wrap....that being said, I wear them for the gym and they’re great support so I’ll ignore the bubble foot.

after trying about 14 pairs of shoes and some really weird shape of Merrel vapor and Adidas Ultrabost, I finally found the perfect shape!!I was very surprised by Merrell and how each their model can vary hugely on the shapes and sizes.I have short toes, wide feet (pretty ugly and hard to fit feet), and this fits like a glove and needs no breaking in!!My only concern was that I usually wear 5.5, but this Merrell size 5.5. is a little loose even as brand new shoes, but can be easily managed by wearing thicker socks.It's comfortable to walk and run in. A great shoe for anyone changing from the normal cushion shoes into the more minimalist and barefoot type. shoes.

LOVE THESE SHOES! So comfortable, light, open box. Sole isn't thin like super barefoot shoes but still very flexible and great for hiking in rocky areas where you don't want to feel every little thing. Love them.

I have to agree with another reviewer who stated the support in these shoes just don't cut it. The minimalist sole, great. However, my feet slide around in the shoe. I purchased these shoes in July of this year and I didn't even run in them everyday, yet they felt like I had put 1000 miles on them. So, ironically this shoe does NOT fit my feet like a glove. :( I own another pair of Merrell's and they are also made with low quality. I won't be purchasing this brand again, unfortunately.

I absolutely love these shoes. I have worn minimalist/barefoot shoes for years. These are the best for me that I have ever had. Great arch support and roomy toe area WITHOUT looking like clown shoes. Well worth the money. I won't think twice before buying a second pair.... Also.. if you tend to not be the lots-of-colors type person - you will also love these for that reason,too.

These shoes are comfortable, fit to your feet like a glove. I wear them just for knock about not for running. I will order another color.

I regularly buy Merrell shoes so wanted to try these. The style is great. They feel a little longer than others in that size I have bought but it may be due to the shoe laces. They are so long and my foot is narrow that there is a lot of excess after I have tied them. The sole is rubbery and has significant tread which was not expected but I love. I wear these to do weights as well and the traction helps. Overall love them
