I love these shoes. They were comfortable right out of the box and so light you hardly notice you're wearing them. I am just starting up running again after being diagnosed with arthritis in my big toe. The minimalist shoe seems to help, as I haven't had any pain or discomfort from running in them like I did with more traditional running shoes. They're nice looking also - my 12-year-old has been begging for a pair. (I said "not until your foot stops growing!")

My feet bother me so much so I went to a shoe store that actually still fits you! I was shown these shoes and they were a bit expensive for me but after trying them I decided to buy them anyways. I am so glad I did!! It is amazing how much better my feet are wearing these. I also bought another kind of Merrells which I like but these are my favorite. I will be buying your shoes again soon. I really would like to try your heels. Hope my store carries them so I can tell for sure.

I wear these all day from 6 AM till 10PM! These are the only shoes that at the end of the night my feet still feel great. I walk the halls at school and even run with my students at recess and then walk about the EMS store to assist customers. Merrell's minimal shoes are the BEST!
