👟 Merrell Women's Trail Sneaker Paloma Shoes Review

I ordered these when I couldn't find the New Balance Minimus 10v1 in stock. This shoe is comparable to New Balance in fit, comfort and weight. The arch in the shoe is slightly higher than the New Balance, some with lower arches may find this uncomfortable. They're well made and look like they'll hold up on roads and trails. I wear a women's size 10 in the New Balance Minimus 10v1 and followed the recommendation to size down the Merrell shoes - I ordered a size 9 and they have the same toe box…

Not as comfortable as my old Trail Glove 4 knit shoes but the arch support is solid (beware of flat feet, the midfoot is quite narrow) and I have a feeling that the heel has a bigger drop than the toes. disturb others. The overall flex is slightly more ribbed than previous trail gloves (RIP Tough Glove models) but still acceptable. Legs are much lighter. All in all, not a bad shoe for warm, dry weather - the mesh upper means your feet will get wet in the rain. Order half a size smaller and…

I bought the Merrell Women's Trail Glove 5 based on my years of experience with the Merrell Women's Trail Glove 4: oh my, what a *bad* difference. I LOVE the Trail Glove 4 because they fit my feet like a glove. Unfortunately, the Trail Glove 5 has noticeable (high) medial arch support; runs wide, long and higher around the ankle. So the 8.5M felt like a man's shoe. I had to check the box to see if they were for women and not men (it said 'women'.) Definitely not like the previous shoe and not…

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…

All ratings were tried on with a nylon sock. I have no intention of wearing socks with shoes. If you plan on wearing socks, I would go up half a size. Tried on 6.5 and 7. See pic with all 3 shoes _________________________________ Steam Glove 3 - Pros + Zero drop + No arch support + Width was acceptable compared to others Cons - Terrible rubber smell - Toe box on top has a really hard piece of rubber that feels like a shoe on the toes rub material height too low. If it makes sense 7 were a…

I really like the shoes! I wear 9.5-10 depending on the type of shoes and where I buy them. I originally bought 10 but they were too big so I had to return them which was pretty easy except I had to drive 20 minutes. to a UPS store or pay for shipping. My return came very quickly and I got a 9.5 which is great. There's still some room at the toe, but it allows you to put on a pair of socks, so it's ok. The reason I got minimalist walking shoes was not to feel barefoot but to have light shoes so
