Less is definitely more exploring with the Vibram-soled Men's Trail Glove Barefoot Running Shoes from Merrell. All the protection your feet need from rocks and roots, and an ultra-lightweight upper with a leather foot sling for stability fits like a glove.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Yeah, they're that good.....Ever since my KSO Treks disappeared a few months ago while travelling(TSA?) I have been back in the market for zero drop shoes. I loved my KSO's and was seriously considering getting another pair; however,I decided to look at some alternatives on different web sites and came across Merrell's bare foot running shoe's. I had to wait a bit, but now that I finally have a pair, I can tell you that it was totally worth it.
Before I start, I'll just preface this with the fact that I am not savvy on all of the lingo and dynamics of how these shoes are built and I am not a running snob. I run on and off trail 5 days a week, usually less than 6 miles, more intervals than distance work. I lift frequently too, and a neutral shoe helps save the knees with dead lifts and squats. That's what I use my shoes for, just to give you an idea of what I base my opinion off of.
First impressions: clean, simple, and lightweight.
Size: I wear a 10.5 M and so I ordered a 10.5 M...
Great ShoeI've been wanting to try out one of the "barefoot'" shoes since I read reviews of the Vibrum Five Fingers. I tried them on at two stores and after fifteen minutes of trying I could never get them on my feet. My fat toes just would not go into the spaces they were supposed to fit into, so I was excited to read about these. I have wide feet so i normally wear anything between a size 11 and 12, depending on brand and if they come in a wide size. Wasn't sure about these, so I split the difference and ordered a 11.5. They fit perfectly!
First impression was that they felt a little funny with the narrow sole and heal, but then a went for a run in them and I was in love. They force you to learn to run off your forefoot rather that your heel. It takes a few runs to get the knack of it, but you'll see the benefits. Feet and legs felt much better and with my improved stride I have began cutting minutes off my training runs with no increase in effort. These shoes weigh...
Best shoes ever. Period.I should start by saying I have not run in my Merrell Barefoot Trail Gloves, at least not yet. I may one day. I am not an avid runner, more of a cyclist and occasional runner.
An aside about a separate product: I wore Nike Frees for about five years until very recently. I did run extensively in my last pair (as I was overseas and away from my bicycles) and they were great. I mostly wore them for casual and work (in an office with fairly lax dress code enforcement) use. I would not shut up about those shoes. I would evangelize about Nike Frees to anyone who would listen. Over five years, I probably went through six or seven pairs, none of which I really wore out, just upgraded or changed styles. My last pair were quite worn when I gave them away to a guy overseas. I decided to try a change, so I ordered a pair of these online, sight unseen.
Within about fifteen seconds of walking around my house in the Merrells, I knew my love affair with the Nike Free...
