I love these sneakers! Very comfortable. I have a more narrow foot but longer second toe. I needed to exchange a size and it was very easy. The new ones arrived within 5 days. Wore them for a wind tunnel experience and they were perfect. I have my eye on the brown for Fall. You can trust Merrell for quality.

Hiked Hanakapiai Falls Trail on Kauai island. Over 6 hours of heavy terrain, rock, clay, water and wet rock. There’s shoes held up. I felt grip and support the entire way. And they cleaned up so nice even treading through some heavy red clay.

I Love The Wrapt! It's everything that the new Trail Runner should be and isn't. I am about to buy my 3rd pair of the lace up Wrapt so I have a summer color. I have Black for the colder months and a Grey color also for cooler months. The Wrapt Sneaker doesn't work for my foot with a bunion, I would love to see this shoe made with a lighter weight fabric for the hot months. I've worn the Trail Runner in various iterations since 2011, sadly I can not wear the latest model. The Wrapt comes closest to the original with some extra outsole. Please find a way to make this style hot weather friendly!

I like the quality and look but after a couple of walks I realized that the shoes are about a half a size bigger so the fit takes away from the comfort

I’ve been “barefoot” for 5 years and found that despite exercises etc, I still need a little arch for proper alignment, but can never abandon the zero drop or the wide toe box. The Merrel Wrapt does provide the arch support, and the toe box is wide enough for me. However, I don’t think this shoe would ever work for a wide to play or high volume foot. The outer suede-like material is a little stiff but nice for morning walks in wet grass. The tread is excellent and would be wonderful on the trail. If you want a true barefoot experience for a narrow, low volume foot, I would stick with the vapor glove. These are definitely more hearty with less ground feel, but they are working well for my early morning walks on a rocky dirt road and woods trails.

Your website advised to order a half size larger due to the shoe runs small. It does not for me, the shoe is to big now and seems pretty wide. Cannot wear this shoe.

Great shoes for smaller hikes, excellent grip, very comfortable. Perfect for walking my dogs on local paths and trails (SoCal) without having to lace up a boot or being too hot.

One of the barefoot collection. They are very comfortable around the toes. They look athletically fashionable. I also like ethe soft suede look and feel.

Took my Wrapts on an 8 day adventure across Vancouver Island, and they were WONDERFUL!! So comfortable and supportive (of course, they're Merrells!!), these added a nice dose of style as well. They went kayaking, hiking, and out to dinner. I am already planning on buying my next pair because, yes, they are even more attractive on sale!

I really wanted to like these! I bought them for a trip to Alaska. I’ve bought and worn at least 4 different pairs of Merrells hiking shoes, but I’ve always ended up giving them away. I have a Morton’s neuroma, and Merrells have all made my feet hurt so bad. I’ve tried upsizing, but they just somehow put pressure on the metatarsal area of both my feet. I thought maybe these would be different, since they’re marketed as barefoot shoes. I put them on and walked around the house and they started hurting right away. They just feel like they put my feet in a really unnatural and uncomfortable position. Oh well, I’m going to try Lem’s next for hiking shoes.

I was recently diagnosed with POTS, small fiber neuropathy, and Post-Sepsis Syndrome. These are the best shoes in existence. I had been looking at the brand for a while, found these in a store, wrong size but otherwise great fit, so I ordered them. I know I will be ordering these again.

Very comfortable with great traction. I bought these shoes to take to the Swiss Alps and they did not disappoint. They were also very appreciated while walking on old uneven streets in many European cities and they kept my feet dry when it was rainy.
