Overall

Used to run in Merrell Pace Glove which they discontinued. Thin as Five Fingers but without the toes. Like water shoes. You can bend them in half and wring them out. Of course there's no where on the east coast I could try them on, so I finally bit the bullet and ordered them online. I love them. It doesn't even feel like I'm wearing shoes.

This is my go-to training and race shoe. I wear it for 5ks to marathons and all the training between. I have gotten over 500 miles on the 3 pairs I have owned and all 3 are still in the rotation.

Overall

I run short distances in this shoe, 3-4 mile max, but am training to run longer distances in them. I love the zero drop and that they are minimalist. If I am not running in them, I am wearing them everywhere I go - grocery store, hiking, cleaning the house.
