Barefoot Wrapt Sneaker trainers, camel, MERRELL

I've been looking at Barefoot shoes for months and finally took the chance. Many reviews say the Wrapt style can run small and as someone between and 8.5-9, i was nervous about ordering online, but after trying the sizes on in-store, and 8.5 was perfect. These shoes feel so natural and lightweight amd as someone who walks miles daily these really help with full movement of my foot while also providing structure. The soles are not very flexible but I appreciate the tradeoff for structure.

These shoes were not what I expected but I truly love them. They are a little stiff around the ankle but I have gotten used to that and wear these shoes all the time! They are very comfortable for all-day wear.

Best shoes I have ever worn. Excellent toe box size and arch support. Good looking shoe! Feels like wearing a rock climbing shoe- they are so light! My toes don't hurt anymore since they are zero drop. They honestly feel like you are wearing slippers. I usually wear women's size 8-9 and got the 8.5; they fit perfectly!

Comfortable and cute- get compliments all the time.

I bought these over a year ago and I am currently deployed and want a new pair and I can’t wait to get home to order a new pair!! I’ve used these for walks, hikes, gym, they are so comfy and provide great arch support and very open at the front for my toes :)

Comfortable, lightweight, easy to pack, and good for streets and trails.

Merrell's have been my favorite shoes..when they worked.

Unfortunately the Wrapt Sneakers are not the best for me.

Pros: Excellent arch support and inner footbed. It keeps your foot in place.

The sole seems to absorb a lot of shock, and the super grip seems great.

They might work for someone who stands for long periods especially on hard surfaces.

Cons: I found these to be very heavy probably due to the extra sole material, and they seem to run just a tiny bit larger so on a long walk they tended to slip on one heel a bit and with the extra weight of the shoe the slippage was rougher and I ended up with a blister.

Later I tried them again, this time lacing tighter which helped, but it just wasn't quite enough for me.

They feel clunky and inflexible; they aren't really action, go shoes for me.

I guess the barefoot Merrells are more my speed.

This is why I don't do online shopping.

I recently ordered the Wrapt Sneaker and just tried them on. Unfortunately, the arch support is too high for my feet and tight.
