Great Fit. Not Super Durable

I bought a pair for hiking. The fit was great and they were comfortable to wear all day, but after 1 hike the sole looks like a rodent chewed them up. To be fair it was a rim to rim hike in the grand canyon, but the terrain was on par with my usual hikes in big bend, so I don't think they'd last me much longer.

Faithful Shoe

I bought my original pair 7 years ago for outdoor activities in Baja Sur. They held up very well but are showing their age this year. So, I bought a new pair!

My Great Decision After A Ton Of Research!

I did a ton of research into various minimalist shoes. I tried on several brands. While in Williamsburg, I noticed there was a Merrell outlet. They were extremely helpful and I was able to tree these on. I wear a 9.5 in other Merrell shoes but as Merrell states, I went a half size down and the 9 fit perfect. I am so happy with these. They have zero drop and feel like you are wearing nothing, walking around barefoot. The Vibram sole grips and provides protection from rocks or objects. These are my fifth pair of Merrell shoes and i can safely say they are my favorite brand of shoes. I highly recommend them. They are much more comfortable than the similar model of Xero shoes I tried on. I will be taking these bad boys to Europe and around Virginia for hikes. Bravo, Merrell.

Why Did You Change, When You Were So Good?

These are probably great shoes for someone with narrower feet. I've used trail gloves for over ten years, but they are no longer suited for those of us with wider feet. They're much narrower than before, and unfortunately I've had to give up Merrell shoes for other brands which are more comfortable.why

Great Comfort / Horrible Traction

Same great barefoot feel and comfort as most other Merrell barefoot series. Seems to be a bit more toe box room than previous generation which is good. The weak link though in this shoe is the tread. Even though it is a Vibram sole it is inadequate for any serious hiking where traction is critical. Really surprised Merrell made such a mistake with this shoe. I used it hiking in CO and WY recently and on trail the traction just isn’t there. There just isn’t a good enough traction for safe trail use. Def a swing and miss by whoever in Merrell approved this tread. Fine for flat surfaces but get onto any trail that has an incline/decline and loose underfooting which is pretty much any trail out West and these shoes are almost dangerous. Do better Merrell!
