Perfect my pros and cons

Fits perfectly. I'm a size 9.5 in a regular width with a wide forefoot and they fit like a glove. I ordered size 9.5 euro 43.5 and they are just right. The material is excellent and they feel great without socks. Time will tell how durable they will be, but I'm impressed. The best part is that the color and leather make them look good with everything so you can go out without having flashy neon shoes lol. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Overall good shoes. Barefoot soles at the highest level
Cons
  • Outsole wears out quickly

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sizing information is US Nike size 11/five fingers 44.

Minimal midsole and thin five-toe KSO-style outsole. Ideal for barefoot workouts. It was hard to guess what shoe size is for USA. I have 10.5 for the drop down list. The label says US 10.5, UK10, EU 44.6. They are a bit big for my 11ft Nike height but I suspect the next size down will be a bit small. Summary I ordered a half US size and they are a bit big. I wear 44 in most Five Fingers. I hope this helps potential buyers.

Pros
  • Best shoes I've ever bought, although I could go half a size down, these are great minimalist shoes!
Cons
  • sore feet without heel support

size is too big

So I read other reviews saying the shoes run small and others saying they fit perfectly. When I ordered mine I just ordered my normal size and figured if they were a bit tight I could handle that. Fine. They're pretty big. So much so that I probably won't be able to wear them to work as originally intended. I had to order another pair of shoes elsewhere because I don't want to risk another $70 and get another pair here that again doesn't fit. It's too much money to throw away, I'm angry.

Pros
  • Made from high quality leather for durability and comfort
Cons
  • Not suitable for people with flat feet

Ignore the reviews that the leather is too hard.

I think most people who complain about leather that is too rough or thick have not completely ripped their shoes. As with all leather shoes that need to flex, it will take several months before they become comfortable. After that they are very comfortable. I wear them almost every day and have been for almost two years. My only complaint is that they lose traction more easily on wet surfaces once the tread starts to wear out. But that's to be expected from a minimalist shoe, so I can't be too…

Pros
  • High quality shoes, like the other reviews, half a size smaller. I'm 12, I chose 11.5 and it fits very well.
Cons
  • Non-waterproof material

Perfect life size

I've been wearing sandals for over 10 years, mostly vibrating five toes, and I have to say I've missed the Merrelle sandals. The toe box is wide to avoid folding the toes like other sandals. I was hesitant about which size to take, even though I've been buying sandals for a long time and I know my ideal size. These tunes are true to size and other reviews said they most likely never wore barefoot shoes. I like my spinning shoes along with my five toes.

Pros
  • Great shoes comfortable
Cons
  • limited availability

Work sandals

I've worn sandals almost exclusively for many years. After Merrell discontinued his Bracken, soft-colored sandals clearly weren't enough. I am very happy to see that they are making work-ready sandals again. They fit as advertised and are very well made. As you'd expect, there's not much arch support or heel lift, but that's what a barefoot shoe is all about. The soles are nice and grippy on every surface except plastic (seriously, don't wear them on a boat or you'll slip everywhere). Hopefully

Pros
  • The quality control issue is that I had black skin peeling off my white socks and legs.
Cons
  • Not environmentally friendly

Solid performance is the best in my rating

I only bought them because they are sandals and nothing else. However, I only put them on when hiking some steep rocks and was blown away by how much grip they gave me on some very steep rocks. I was able to climb several steep walls without slipping once and still have the great barefoot feeling. I never write reviews but this was such a positive experience that I had to go back and write this review. Definitely recommend.

Pros
  • I bought 2 extra pairs
Cons
  • Expensive compared to similar products

The best shoes! good for me

I'm a big fan of walking barefoot as the shoes only impede the movement of your feet. Restricted activity eventually causes your muscles to atrophy, and since the entire body is interconnected, it also causes back pain. These shoes help me feel the ground and exercise my whole body more. They also look good enough to wear in any situation. I still prefer to go barefoot, if I have to wear shoes I wear them.

Pros
  • Could be a little thicker
Cons
  • I wear 7/2 w and these shoes are too big and I'm not happy

Of course I understand the concept of barefoot, but that's the Middle Ages. It's literally a leather bag with drawstrings and some rubber at the bottom. It's almost like an old-fashioned wrestling boot, only shorter. IMO it doesn't match the price; It's what you'd expect in the third world market, albeit with better workmanship. I can't imagine it lasting very long or offering much protection. I can't imagine it offering any sort of ventilation either. If that's what you want, great, go for it.

Pros
  • They look great and feel good as expected.
Cons
  • The soles started peeling off the first day I wore them.

It hurts... in my opinion

I have had several Merrell Glove shoes and they have always been very comfortable. Not this one. There is a very hard piece of material on the tongue that digs painfully into the toes. These shoes fit perfectly but I don't risk the material becoming soft after wearing. IMO it shouldn't be there. Too bad I've been waiting weeks to get them and am really looking forward to them as I have my last pair of Merrell gloves left and this model has been out of stock for years. I bought 5 pairs over ten…

Pros
  • Feels like a thin but very comfortable and durable shoe
Cons
  • Not suitable for hard running

Owner of three pairs of vaping gloves

I have a 3 cotton vape glove, a 4 vape glove, and this pair of moon vape gloves. These shoes fit my feet very well. I have moderately narrow feet, but I like the wide toe box, like in these shoes, to keep my toes apart. If you're looking for a zero-fall shoe that doesn't look like you're wearing weird-toed shoes, this is a perfect choice.

Pros
  • A real glove for the feet.
Cons
  • Not suitable for vegans

It's just not worth it. in my opinion

The upper of the shoe held up very well and handled moisture well. These things dry very quickly when wet. The downside of these shoes is the outsole. The swarms came off in just a week. I realize these are minimalist shoes but I literally wore out the sole in less than 4 months. Honestly, I would never buy these again. They were so bad as to deny me future purchases from Merrell.

Pros
  • Features a breathable mesh lining that keeps your feet cool and dry.
Cons
  • Limited Warranty

Amazing my verdict: my rating

Absolutely phenomenal if you prefer sandals. Have had them for over 2 years. Went through several mountains and constantly wore out and the tread hardly moved, if at all.

Pros
  • Durable enough to wear for a long time without discomfort
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with ankle problems.

Holds up great! the best in my rating

Shoes look great and fit! Perfect for jogging, cycling and everyday wear. Very comfortable even without socks. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Can be paired with a variety of outfits for a stylish look.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with Achilles tendonitis.

The best shoes I've ever had.

I ordered these as I have had a black pair for a year and wear them every day. I loved her. My legs have never felt better. When you order these they are the same but in a different color and they fit perfectly. I love these shoes!

Pros
  • Fits perfectly. I'm a women's size 10 and this men's size 8 fits perfectly. As is the style. Bought a second pair.
Cons
  • Narrow toe box

I use them every day

I haven't used any other shoe for about 5 months. Easy to combine, practical, good quality. I'm considering buying another pair.

Pros
  • Ideal for people who spend a lot of time on their feet
Cons
  • May not provide adequate ankle support

The title says it all. The sole was completely worn out (ie it had a hole in it) after several months of inactivity in the shoe. This has been a constant issue for me with the Vapor Glove series; I haven't had these issues with any of the trail gloves I've bought and used in a similar way.

Pros
  • I love shoes but the toe box is too tight
Cons
  • Limited arch support

a year and a half later

The wear and tear shown in the attached photos is after almost daily use since late March 2020. I bike to and from work most days (only about 2.5 miles a day). I replaced the standard laces with elastic ones to make the shoes easier to put on. The shoes were consistently very comfortable. I have done several hikes with them and I do not recommend hiking in particularly rocky terrain due to the lightness of the shoe and the thin sole. After the mountainous terrain of southern Arizona, my feet…

Pros
  • Trusted brand known for making quality shoes
Cons
  • Not enough cushioning

the toe is too tight; bad return policy

Runs small and tight - I have other leather Lunas that fit perfectly - would recommend half a size up. Also remember that this is NOT a prime return! Very unfriendly return policy.

Pros
  • Perfect for everyday wear or intense outdoor activities.
Cons
  • May not be durable enough for regular use

Hole = sad face suits me

I really like these shoes, they are very comfortable! But after only 1 year of moderate use they developed a hole in the heel and within a week they were done. I figured I could live in them for at least a few years for $100 shoes.

Pros
  • Did not fit. send back
Cons
  • Estan Muy Sencillos
