Review on 👟 Merrell Women's Trail Sneaker Paloma Shoes by Stacia Payne

My favorite shoe used to be the Vapor Gloves so I was shocked at the poor quality and construction of these shoes. For reference, I previously bought a Chinese minimalist shoe that broke as soon as I tied the laces. A lesson learned. But back then, this Merrell looked and felt like the same amount of time had been invested in the manufacturing process. Besides, the size is wide. I tried both 8.5 and 9 and both ended up being a whole size bigger. I have not experienced this with my previous Vapor gloves. As an added issue, the arch support was extremely high and stiff—not minimalist by any means. To be honest I'm depressed by the current low quality of athletic shoes of all brands and prices especially the ones I've found at Revain. I don't know what's going on, but companies like Merrell need to get back to quality.
