Cheap Merrell Men's Barefoot True Glove

Customer Ratings:

I was really looking foward to getting these shoes.

First, a little background. I am in the Army and I run a minimum of 2 miles a day in my free time. I've ran half marathons and have ran 20 miles plus. I've been looking for a shoe that can handle the ruff terrain in Afghanistan and also not cause back pain.

These shoes have great sole protection from ruff terrain and graveled area. But the shoes cause the area on the sole of both feet to get blisters on the inside. They also rub very uncomfortably on the rim of where the foot enters. after 1/2 mile my feet were bleeding and now I have trouble walking in normal shoes and boots.

I will not give up on the shoes though. I will continue to break the shoes in and write a second reveiw in a few months after I redeploy. I'm not too sure if these need a break in period like other shoes or not. That said, I've never had shoes or boots make my feet bleed like these did.

To sum everything up. Great soles that offer wonderful protection. Places on your foot will be rubbed raw. I will not give up so easily though.

I started out wearing vibram five fingers several years ago but my second and third toe on my right foot are webbed to the first knuckle so I had to modify the five fingers to get them to fit. I didn't want to keep doing this so as soon as these shoes became available I bought them. I wear them to work and out hiking and they feel comparable to the five fingers but I actually like them better because they just have a wide toe box instead of the individual toes which I think helps your toes flare more naturally. My only complaint is that they are hard to just slip on (at least in size 11) because the shoe lace is a bit to short to allow you to open up the mouth of the shoe wide enough. I also bought the trail gloves for gym use and they are much easier to slip on.

Merrell should also think about switching the names of the trail glove and the true glove. The true glove makes a much better trail shoe because it is has a tougher upper.

Be warned though that while this looks like a normal shoe it is actually very minimalist with a zero drop heel and no arch support so unless you are into minimalist shoes (or looking to get into them) these aren't the shoe for you.

Recieved in a timely manner. Shoe was as described. They are used as a casual shoe, as I wanted something light and washable. They do appear to have the appearance of a track shoe with their low profile and the toe turns upward. Overall appearance is good, comfortable to walk in, not a large amount of padding but isn't that the idea? Traction is outstanding. They appear true to size. You could get away with one half size smaller if you wanted a snug fit. Overall pleased with purchase.

Honest reviews on Merrell Men's Barefoot True Glove

Purchased prior to my trip to Israel knowing that I was going to be doing a lot of walking. I do not regret buying this shoes. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that my heel on the right shoe is beginning to bother me, something minor. I am very happy with these shoes.

I was looking for a good running/workout shoe that wouldn't fall apart while I'm deployed to Afghanistan and I found it. Shoes fit great and are great to work out in. When these wear though I will be buying another pair.
