This is frankly the first time I have ever been compelled to write a review for any product, period. I received these several weeks ago and since then the only time they have left my feet is to shower and sleep. Great for a casual day off and will function as a work shoe. Love the Vibram sole. Merrell, you have a loyal customer for life. Thanks! Should be noted that after much debate I elected to order a half size down from my usual. As it turns out, that was the proper choice.

These shoes are some of the most comfortable I have ever worn. They really feel more like slippers and the "barefoot" feel and lightness makes them perfect for walking, driving or just hanging out. I tried a pair and now got another because I like them so much.

I've been wearing these for close to a year now and they are my favorite shoes. Very comfortable and have held up very well. My only complaint is that I'm not sure how to make sure I get the most life out of the leather. I've used a conditioner/cleaner on them but they still look dirty all the time. I have been unable to find care information for the shoes on the Merrell website. That being said, I'd buy them again!

Thank you for the great review and sharing your experience with this Barefoot style after putting many miles on them over the past year. For cleaning we recommend a brand called NikWax, they have many different conditioners and cleaners. We are so glad you have had such a great experience with this shoe that you would buy it again.

I ordered these shoes for my husband after I had bought my first pair of Merrell shoes from the barefoot series. He is very happy with his shoes, they are lightweight yet supportive, and can be worn without socks. Thanks Merrell!
