Reviewed by LinB from The Villages, Floridas on Tuesday, May 21, 2013Size wise the shoes are on the large size. I usually wear a 10 1/2 wide. I ordered a 10 worrying they would be too small. They are very large and more than big enough. They have a wide toe box, great for someone with wide feet but not so much if you have medium width or narrow feet. Like many Merrell shoes, the top of the heel fits very snugly and is not as well padded there as other brands. Looking at the picture I thought the shoes would be made of a mesh that breathes, rather like the New Balance Minimus which I love. They are not. I immediately wore them on a four mile walk. While comfortable, they made my feet very hot. I don't think the fabric breathes very well. I will keep them for cooler weather.

Reviewed by Tennis Lady HHI from Hilton Head, SC on Thursday, May 16, 2013I loved the look of these shoes and ordered my normal size based on other reviews. They were way too small so I ordered up a half size and these were still too small. I think they are just not shaped for my foot so unfortunately second pair are going back as well. They look so cute I was very sad they did not fit me.

Reviewed by Loves Trails from Wisconsin on Monday, May 06, 2013I normally like Merrell shoes, but these are the most uncomfortable shoe I have tried in a long time. They didn't even fit the shape of my foot, and the heel was stiff and wide. Not a very flexible shoe in the upper area. I am used to wearing Vibram Five Fingers shoes, which feel great. I was expecting these to feel better on my feet. The colors were nice!!

Reviewed by Skinny Foot from Chicago on Monday, April 22, 2013I bought these shoes because other reviewers thought that they ran narrow. I have to say that although I just love the style and comfort of these shoes, I have to lace them as tightly as the shoe will allow, and the toe looks like a clown's foot on my foot. Still, I'm kind of stuck because manufacturers have cut back on making narrow shoes through the years. I may be able to insert an orthotic to take up some of the extra room, but it seems such a shame to do this to minimalist shoes. The only athletic shoes that fit me are Mizuno narrow. These are quality shoes. I wear an 11AAAA or Super Slim. I find New Balance Narrow shoes are too wide.
