Women's Merrell Pace Glove

Fit great, right out of the box. Love them, I agree there was no " breaking them in" they fit like a glove for sure! I would recommend these to anyone. I wear I a size 6 in my Mizunos and the Merrells fit comparibly.

I am a beginning runner doing about 2 miles a day, but all the running shoes I tried, even expensive ones, hurt my feet in odd places and were too hot. Without socks, they hurt even more. I read about the Merrell Barefoot Run Pace Glove, and decided to try it out. These are perfect! Mine did not even need breaking in. I have a very narrow heel, and with these gloves my heel does not slip out, another complaint I had with regular running shoes. I have not tried them on rough terrain where there are rocks, so I can't say how well they would protect your feet. But running on a sidewalk, grass, or the treadmill they are just great. The laces enable you to make them as tight or loose as you want. I always loved running barefoot as a kid, and now I can do it again with a "glove" that protects my feet.

very good! feel confortable walking and running. I use them a lot. I run on concrete and I get the barefoot like feeling.

It took a few times running in them to get used to them, but now I love them. I won't wear anything else when I run. I even wear them when I do group exercise like Turbo Kickboxing. I have had a weak ankle for years and it rolls really easy. These shoes are really strengthening the muscles in my feet and ankles and I can feel my ankle getting stronger. Better and quicker than physical therapy!!

Like the shoes, seems to run a little small. Not as "barefoot" as the five fingers, which I love but still nice and more public friendly. I've been wearing barefoot shoes for about 6 months now and I will never go back to regular cast like shoes. Going barefoot has decreased my foot pain to nearly none. Try it!

I was hesitant about the Pace Glove. After the first wear or so, my calf hurt a little bit. Then I broke them in, and they are my new favorite shoes. I wear them to run, but also to yoga, pilates and strength training. They greatly improved by lunging abilities. Seriously!
