Review: Mis primeras Merrell minimalistas fueron las Trail Glove 3. Tras éstas, todos los modelos siguientes han sido más estrechos. Resultado: devueltas y localizada otra marca que las fabrica como son los pies realmente, anchos. Una pena porque estéticamente son muy bonitas.
Review: Hands down BEST minimalist shoes I’ve ever owned in my life! (For context, I was in the Marine Infantry for five years, and have done high intensity forms of fitness, so I’m experienced in the difference between effective and ineffective footwear). The current arena I’m using these in is Danza Azteca (a traditional dance of Indigenous Mexico) a dance style of prolonged, hours long dance sessions featuring rapid, explosive movements, and these puppies PERFORMED! I also use them for basic weightlifting where they feel absolutely spectacular. FAVORITE THINGS 1. Toe Box: perfect amount of room for my toesies without them feeling like they’re sliding around. 2. True Flat: the drop is quite minimal and your connection to the ground and its nuances is really gratifying. 3. Weight: they’re lightweight as he** and you feel truly barefoot. 4. Sock form: there’s no pesky tongue flopping to one side or the other, just a stitched sock entry that holds to the ankle wonderfully. 5. Laces: very sturdy and not floppy. 6. Aesthetic: the black ones are very slick looking, modern styling without being distracting or cringe 7. Overall fit: mine were correctly sized at 10, didn’t have to go larger or smaller. They hit the foot really nicely without being constricting at all. If you’re on the fence, try them! You won’t regret it!

J en suis a ma 3 ème paires, les meilleures chaussures du monde pour moi. Durée de vie 2 ans. Je les ai eu a un bon prix. Elles étaient reconditionnées (retour probablement et non dans le carton d origine).
