"A great running shoe for those who like minimalist running but don't like the "toed" shoes. They feel great and I plan to buy the "Trail Glove" as my next pair."IAFF Ben

(5)

Quality of Construction

The Road Gloves are great quality and are wearing out very little. The soles are Vibram and are quite comfortable.

(4)

Fit

While they do fit very well, I have a wider foot and have found that I cannot run in them without socks on.

(5)

Comfort

The Road Glove is very comfortable. I like the feel of them over the Vibram Five Fingers that I used to run in. They are much easier to get on and off as well.

(5)

Durability

So far, they have stood up to the running that I have done in them quite well with little wear to the soles.

(4)

Value

The price is OK. They are a bit more expensive than the Vibram Five Fingers that I had usually bought.

(5)

Appearance

These look great in the green color that I bought them in.

Strengths

The Merrell Road Glove is one of the best minimalist shoes that I have run with. They are durable, comfortable, and there is no struggling with getting them on and off like some of the Five Fingered running shoes.

Weakness

I have found the price to be a bit higher than I would like considering I used to buy regular good quality shoes for 2/3 of the price. Somehow minimalist shoes don't seem to have minimalist pricing.
