  • Reviewed by running man from Catskill mtns on Saturday, May 18, 2013
    I'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.

    after 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.

    These shoes need to be worn with socks. The heel pulls in with each step causing a blister. Either get a good stick on blister pad or wear really thick socks. Otherwise good shoes.

    Fantastic running shoe without all the bulk. Gives you that grip to the road like a nice set of high performance tires. The deals here are great. Got these babies for half price after applying the coupon I was emailed I love them so much I ordered a second pair after just one test run.
