Reviewed by 7Wolfe3 from Bedford, NH on Monday, June 03, 2013This is my first pair of minimalist running shoes and there is no way I would switch back. I'll grant you, my calves were in pain for the first two weeks or so until they got used to the new running position but now I love these things. I went for a run this morning, street/trail combination, in the rain with absolutely no problem whatsoever. No slipping and my feet were comfortable the entire way.

Reviewed by RunFrank from Ca. on Friday, May 31, 2013This was my first pair with minimal cushioning shoes and I won't go back to regulars again. IMO they distribute the impact better then VFF (which I own as well) and still give you the benefits of barefoot running. I have poor running posture but these really help straighten every out. I will probably my longer runs in these and the VFF for the shorter runs..

Reviewed by running man from Catskill mtns on Saturday, May 18, 2013I've heard a lot of complaints about the rand causing problems with the achilles area, causing a blister on the heal. I also had this problem on my first run, which is something that Merrell needs to address, however; I did find a simple solution, and have been running in these barefoot ever since with no issues. The shoe has a type of slingshot rand which is easily modified by cutting the piping around the top of the heal down to the black part. this is only a 1/4" cut, and because of the design does not cause any issues with the function of the shoe, and the cut does not travel or fray because of the construction. I did this, and ran in these on rough trails all year last year with no socks, and no problems. I'm buying another pair,and doing the same thing. After this simple modification, these have been the best shoe I've ever run in.

Reviewed by running man from Catskill mtns on Wednesday, May 15, 2013after 30 yrs. of running trails, I've finally found my favorite shoe. the whole barefoot thing made me skeptical at first, but now, I'm a convert. these shoes are light, comfortable, and wear amazingly well. my only issue with them was the top of the back rand, which the first time out, gave me a little hot spot, (no socks), but after I took a razor and cut the rand down to the black slingshot rand fabric (only 1/4" cut), I've never had that problem again, and it didn't compromise the fit or integrity of the shoe whatsoever. I've abused these shoes on some of the toughest trails in the catskill mtns., running on sharp rocks and wet terrain. everyone's feet are diff., but these fit, and you like the barefoot style, you can't go wrong here.
