Best Merrell Men's Barefoot Embark Glove Gore-Tex Deals

Customer Ratings:

After trying several of the newer varieties of Vib Five Fingers hoping to keep my feet dry on wet muddy trails, and I really have liked my Five Fingers over the years, I gave these Merrell Embark Glove GTX (Goretex) shoes a try. New snow on the ground, wet and very muddy, and I am so impressed and very, very pleased with these shoes. They do not rub the back of my feet, or anywhere else for that matter with wool socks, and are very warm and dry. My last run included Gaiters and even in deeper water crossings where I thought for sure my feet would get wet...dryness prevailed. Several of other things that I really love about these shoes are that you naturally stay on the front part of your feet when on the run so the 'barefoot' experience is maintained quite well while the added protection in the toe box has these now my first choice n shoes for my mountain runs on the AT and Catoctin NP. I've found them to be very sure footed in

snow/ice packed conditions. Frankly, these will be my first choice in foot wear for all sorts of conditions and even for just walking around on rainy days. Well made they appear to be durable. One of the piss-offs I've had with my Vibrams have been quality, especially where sole meets uppers around the inside step of the big toe. No such problems with these shoes! They are tough runners and clean up in a jiff.

They are a little big around the arch of my foot all the way around. But they are comfortable and I will buy this item again.

I used this shoes in snow and rain and they work perfectly.

it is my first experience with barefoot running shoes so my calf muscles really suffer if I don't take it eazy.

But after only two month I can run up to four miles with this shoes, and by next winter I am planning on using only the Merrell for my wet runs.

I adore these shoes. They are great in wet/windy conditions. I wish I had 10 pairs! Expensive but worth it.

Since I got these a few months ago I have thought that I should write a review...but after yesterday, I cannot wait any longer. I have been wearing barefoot shoes almost exclusively for about eight months, and these Embarks for three months. I live in north central Wisconsin, and I have worn these through snow, slush, rain, slush, and snow. I was happy from the start that they keep my feet dry. These have been my everyday, everywhere shoes, not running shoes. So the kicker that made me finally write my review... I was out playing with the kids when my husband brought out the snowshoes. I was too lazy to go put snow boots on so I just strapped myself in wearing the Embarks, and went. I fully expected to have to turn around soon and get different shoes, but I was impressed to see those shoes did just fine. The snow averaged 6 inches, sometimes less, sometimes more. I stayed out for maybe 45-60 minutes. I fell a few timesmy jeans got wet, but not my feet!

I haven't tried wearing these without socks, because it is too darn cold, but they are perfectly comfortable with my winter socks. I agree with one reviewer that says these are not a real thin barefoot shoe, and I think that is just the nature of the beast ... for this shoe's particular purpose.

Very happy with my purchase. I would not have been able to continue wearing barefoot shoes throughout winter without

them. Another note, I am a female with large feet and, sadly, can't fit into the women's shoes, so I am left with the men's options. I have the black/blue Embarks. They are not pretty by any means but they are attractive enough without looking too manly... or so my husband assures me.
