Merrell Men's Barefoot Orbit Glove Lace-Up,Boulder,13 M US Review
I bought these shoes last fall: I was looking for a snow-friendly, minimalist shoe, and this one fit the bill. Plus, I've had excellent experience with Merrell's shoe quality in the past.Over the four months or so, I've worn these shoes just about every day, always with socks. What I like about these shoes:
* Lightweight (there's very little to the shoe beyond what you see in the photos)
* My feet don't sweat in them (I can't explain this as the shoe has no obvious venting)
* The shoes don't stink (remember, I've worn these almost every day)
* There's very little between my foot and the ground, just my socks and the thin layer of the shoe.
* No cushioning or arch support (sorta the reason why I bought a minimalist shoe)
I'm neutral on the shoes' appearance. It's not really my style (too earthy), but I'm okay with it.
The one problem area that you'll see mentioned in other reviews (here as well on Merrell's web site) are the laces. Due to friction at the last set of eyeholes, the laces are very close to breaking. So I have four points in the laces such that one of them will break at any time. I measured them at 39", but have so far had no luck finding replacement laces on Merrell's web site. Eventually I'll find replacement laces, they shouldn't have worn out this quickly, and be this much work to find replacements.
