Very similar to normal Merrell Trail Gloves, but they are just too roomy and without laces you can't tighten them up on your feet.

What I wanted was a cross between the cheap, flatfooted water shoes you find at stores like WalMart and Target, but not as nice as the Fancy ones you find at specialty stores. These fit the bill, almost.
Pros These are decent water shoes, with some arch support. Well made. They have a molded hard sole and good handle on the heel to pull them on. They are pretty comfortable once you have them on.
Cons They are HARD to get on. I wear a size 10.5, and I thought I would not be able to pull them over my foot. They do not stretch AT ALL. That said, once I am able to pull them onto my foot, the fit is correct at 10.5, and they fit comfortably and snugly. Also, the adjustable strap you see is for decoration only, it doesn't really do anything (so don't be fooled). The Arch support could be better. It is there, but it is minimal.
The real difference between these and the fancier ones is the arch support and sole inside the shoe. It is still minimalist, but better than the cheap ones. I MIGHT buy these again, but I would sure try on a few more before I do.

Honest reviews on Merrell Men's Barefoot Rapid Glove
Really comfortable, little tight around the collar initially but this loosened up after 2-3 wears. Nice wide toe box, even more than other Merrell Barefoot shoes. Can't wait to get them wet.

Normally I don't take the time to review products, but I felt I had to with this one. I purchased the 10.5 size. I had read that they were "very hard" to get on in some cases, and another review said that the strap was meaningless, that if you loosened it, there was no difference in the difficulty of getting them on your feet. Well, I have to disagree. At first I tried to put them on without loosening the strap and, yes, they were difficult to get on. But then I loosened the strap and they went on just fine. They do fit "true to size", and I'm glad they come in 1/2 sizes. I have a slightly wide foot and these fit perfectly. They have to fit snug around the top to keep out small rocks etc that are encountered in rivers, on the beach, in the water etc. Don' hesitate, buy em : )
