Great grip on rocks/trails
Loved these shoes for hiking in Arizona in March. Great grip on the rocks and trails. Very stable on the steep terrain. Roomy toe box. Only downside was they were not as breathable as I would have liked; my feet got hot by the end of the day. I highly recommend these shoes for their comfort and traction.

The shoe that made me quit the brand
Been a loyal Merrell supporter for years, but this was the last straw. These sneakers are very stiff and cut directly into the back of my heel, causing skin to be sliced off and blood all over my heel. Furthermore, blisters at the front. Other shoes of the exact same shape and size have not caused such problems.

Nice Looking, but not comfy

Fit is different than other wrapt models.
Fit is quite snug/narrow vs 2 other wrapt models. I bought a hiking shoe model and a vapor running shoe that fit fine. This model was narrow and quite snug and had to be returned

Hard to break in
I loved my previous pair of barefoot style shoes being one of the most comfortable I ever own. These don't meet that and I have been trying to break them in but so far they just rub incorrectly. That is no doubt my own issue but still considering how much I love my old pair was hoping they would be like that.

Dangerously slippery soles.
Had high hopes for these shoes. They look great. They're super comfortable, great toe box however these are the worst trail shoes I've ever owned. The slightest bit of moisture and your going down.... Just slide all over the place. Absolutely dangerous to hike in these shoes.
