Good, Lightweight Shoe

I was super skeptical about buying these shoes, (honestly, I thought they looked really gay) but I read the book Start Something That Matters by blake Mycoskie (the guy that founded TOMS) and really respected him as an entrepreneur. So I decided to get a pair and see how they worked out.

They're not good for rainy weather, but they are comfortable and so lightweight that you could almost forget that they're there.  They are pretty snug-fitting, especially if you try to wear them with socks, but people tell me that they stretch out a bit as you wear them.

Overall, if you're thinking about getting a pair: do it.  They're pretty cheap, especially here on Amazon, and they work pretty well as long as you don't live in the rainforest.

Lightweight, comfortable casual shoes! Not meant for running.

Great, lightweight shoe.
I've received lots of comments on how "cute" they are.

I love the fit of this shoe.  It provides moderate stability and is very lightweight.  A downside is the price.

I like the shoes.  Size seems to run just a tad small, and I have had plenty pairs of ASICS on past.  I believe will be fine after some wear.  Comfortable, of course lightweight and price was right.  I have not had them long enough to speak on how they hold up (why I gave 4 stars)

This shoe is lightweight, comfortable and provides steady support while doing different movements like side shuffles, burpees, high knees, etc.  The shoe laces are not super long and hasn't come undone while working out.

These are pretty good shoes. The heel is a little narrow for my taste and there isn't a ton of arch support, but overall they are worth the price. They are lightweight and have been durable so far.

Exactly as expected - I ordered 1/2 size up because Nike runs small.  Good, lightweight shoe.

Perfectly fine shoe, but too lightweight for me.  I need more support.  If you want a light shoe, I would recommend it.

I like how lightweight the shoes are. I have tried several pairs of sketchers running shoes and these are right up there with the best. Not sure if they are the best but if you like lighter shoes that have a good look to them than you will like these.

These are great, very lightweight. The foot is flat inside these, as well. I think they would benefit from a larger toe box, but I am happy with them.

I live in a warm southern climate and this shoe combines a lightweight, somewhat filmy (not flimsy neccessarily but Filmy) top and a sturdy bottom. The overall effect is well-cushioned, lightness. I've been running on them for about 2-3 weeks now and am very happy with them as a spring/summer shoe.  I notice they could perform better as far as repelling outside moisture (wet grass, rain, etc.), but unless you plan on running 15 miles through hurricanes, then these shoes are a solid bet for Spring Summer running in temporate climates.

Lightweight, comfortable casual shoe. Insole has decent support; I insert my orthotics for extended wear. They look a little "old ladyish" on, so I may just use them for house shoes. They don't look quite as good as the New Balance mules that I usually wear but were less expensive.

I have another pair of these in a different color. They are lightweight and comfortable. Because they are so light, I find them conveniently packable for trips. I usually wear a narrow width in a regular shoe, but this Merrell medium is just fine  On sale, who cares about the color?

I wanted something for a casual office that was just a little dressier than running shoes, and these fit the bill.  They have a flat sole like a sneaker, but the leather uppers give them a little more style.  These will work with jeans or khakis.  They're extremely lightweight, and feel like they will break in very quickly.  They don't seem particularly rugged and the sole feels soft, so we'll see how they hold up over time, but for initial comfort, I'm satisfied.  I went a half size up based on previous experience with Merrell shoes, and the length  for me ends up just a bit on the large side.  If you're wearing them with thin socks, normal size should be fine.  There's good width in the toe box, but the width on the midsole feels tighter.  I expect this will adjust as they break in.

Edit: Almost 2 years in, I've worn these 2-3 times per week, and they're holding up well, including lunchtime walks on a gravel trail a couple of times per month.  The uppers still look new, the soles have normal wear.  And they are still ridiculously comfortable.

I'm an over-pronator -- nearly flat feet -- but a lightweight guy, 130-35 pounds, and these shoes work just fine for me: I don't need the added weight & expense of motion-control shoes. I've had several pairs of the GT-1000 line and I alternate wearing them with the Mizuno Wave Inspires, which also work very well. (I.e., at any given time I have an older pair of one & a newer pair of the other, switching back and forth every run or two.) As noted, the GT-1000s fit a leetle on the large side. However for running shoes, that's better than a bit too small, and I can adjust by wearing slightly thicker socks with these if desired. Another fit factor is, I have a narrow heel, and these shoes fit snugly in the back with no lifting out of them: that's one place where you want a nice close fit. Otherwise it's a very good shoe -- so if it fits, wear it!

A little on the small side, but good looking shoe and very lightweight.
