I have two pair that I rotate for both running and casual wear. The more minimalist fit is much more comfortable for running and walking, with just the right amount of protection against pounding the ground.

I cannot say enough about these shoes! I ordered one pair for everyday wear and will be ordering another for plyometrics training in the gym because they are so comfortable. I can't believe how roomy the toe box is, but in my regular size I don't feel as though they are too big at all. The perfect shoe.

That is great you are able to wear these for your everyday wear and also for your plyometric's training! Thank you so much for the "perfect review". We are so happy you find the toe box area to be roomy enough for your toes.

Recently my husband and I started running. My natural stride works well with the barefoot style shoes. However, since the bulk of our running is on asphalt or concrete, I was beginning to think I needed to return to heavily padded shoes. Instead on the prompting of my spouse, I tried these super shoes. Now I have it all! They are my go to shoes even for walking. Have them in 4 colors. Love the roomy toe box, the light feel, low drop and sole that flexes with each stride or step, allows for both protection and sensitivity. Also am happy that they can be machine washed! Hope you keep making these. I have a growing collection of Merrell shoes! My feet are happy with me making it easier to workout, run, walk and just hang out.

Thank you so much for your super review! We are so happy your husband recommended this great Barefoot style for you. The Bare Access Arc 2 is a great minimalist style that has the 0mm drop but still offers 8mm of great cushion.

I am a veteran walker, who is beginning to run. The shoes provides good support and the wider toe area allows feet to rest naturally. They are as light as a feather. It is like almost being barefoot. I absolutely love them.

Up until purchasing these shoes, I had been running more trails with the Lithe Gloves, so this was a bit of a difference for me. After running a half marathon (entirely on pavement) in the Road Gloves, I can honestly say that these shoes are perfect for road races with the extra cushioning, and would recommend anyone planning on doing road races to consider these over some of the other styles. One thing to note though is that if you are not used to having a lot of space in the front of your shoes, it will take some time to adjust to the width. All in all, these shoes rock, especially with the cool color options.

Sounds like you are starting to get quite the Barefoot collection. We are so happy you love these Road Glove Dash 2's and they were able to cross the half marathon finish line with you. Thank you so much for the review.
