Comments about Merrell Road Glove Road-Running Shoes - Men's:
I'm in the military and have been running in vibrams for 3+ years now and still do. But I was looking for something a little more "normal looking" for when I had to do unit PT. The ninja feet comments get a little old...Anyway, these are excellent shoes, fit well, seem to have good quality materials and workmanship. I don't think they will be replacing my Vibrams for every run, but certainly for races and unit PT, when I just don't want to hear the goofy comments.

Comments about Merrell Road Glove Road-Running Shoes - Men's:
Bought the Road Runner after burning through the Trail Runner. I am an over-pronater who has thrived on minimalist shoes... ie. Five Fingers, etc. These shoes have rejuvenated my 42 year old, plantar fasciitis afflicted feet. Love the Trail Runners... can't say the same about these shoes. A five mile run out of the box resulted in blisters on both heels as the back is definitely stiffer and angles in more than the Trail Runner. In the end, I am going to stick with the Trail Runner and relegate these to the closet...

Comments about Merrell Road Glove Road-Running Shoes - Men's:
I have the Merrill Trail Gloves and enjoy them on trails, but not as much on roads. I was looking for a similar experience on the road. The road gloves are not the exact same thing, but I'm equally happy with them. When I first put them on and walk around, it feels like there is some extra padding on the forefoot and heel when compared to the Trail Glove, but they feel much better and more natural when I'm running. It just feels like I'm running on a flat, firm surface. Feels more like a thin shoe than barefoot, but that's fine with me. I don't need to feel subtle textures or every sharp, little pebble when I'm running around in the dark and can barely see the ground. I can feel coarse textures and can definitely feel when I land too hard.
I'm still somewhat new to running in minimalist shoes, so I haven't run more than 6 miles at a time in these. I don't see these being a problem for 10+ mile runs, which I have done before in more cushioned shoes. If you're new to minimalist shoes, be patient while increasing your distances! I don't have much patience and I injured my foot by running too much, too soon in the Trail Gloves. I don't want to do that again and I am trying my best to be patient :)

Comments about Merrell Road Glove Road-Running Shoes - Men's:
I'm a 5'11" 135 pound beginning runner. I wear a size 9, I have no pronation and a mid arch. I bought these shoes a couple months ago. I wear them mainly for road running and can feel very little impact. They are by far the best pair of running shoes I have ever owned. They feel great, and I can honestly say that I will buy another pair.

Seems to fit the "barefoot" running experience well. Just a little uncomfortable running on trails.

I in the military, and I'm expected to run a lot to keep in shape. I wanted to try out some minimalist running shoes and this pair is great! They are very comfortable and VERY light! I wear them barefoot and they feel amazing! I would like to see different colors.

Havn't run too much in them yet, still working up to it. Otherwise, the shoes are great.

Comments about Merrell Road Glove Road-Running Shoes - Men's:
I love my Merrells. They are comfortable no matter what I am doing, and I can tell a difference in my running form. Give them time if you're new to barefoot/minimalist running, because it does take an extended period of time to get your foot in shape. I just completed my first 5k in them and will probably never go back to "regular" shoes!
