Nice shoe

Comments about Mens Merrell Bare Access 2 Running Shoe:

Love the Merrell Bare Access 2s. They are light and flexible, not quite barefoot but close enough. The toe box is wide and comfortable. The shoes seem to hold up well for being so light. Blue color is a nice update from previous versions.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Mens Merrell Bare Access 2 Running Shoe:

      I'm 73 inches (6'1", 1.8 meters) and 215 pounds (98 kg). My jogging pace is a 10 minute mile. I have medium arches and no over or under pronation. I recently developed Plantar Fascitis after suffering last year with Achilles Tendonitis. I decided to swith to minimalist footwear to try to strengthen my legs / feet & alter my stride - trying to land on balls of my feet and midfoot more. After 2 weeks off to rest plantar, I began with these and the Road Glove 2. It's been 3 weeks and these are great. I've worn with socks and without and had no problems. They seem to have just the right arch support - I have medium arches. There is plenty of room for the toes to spread out, maybe even a little too much, but I've had no problems and have been successfully working towards my goals.

      Comments about Mens Merrell Bare Access 2 Running Shoe:

      I put about 250 miles on the original Bare Access shoes and I loved them, so I was a bit worried about this pretty big redesign. However, they feel just as nice as the originals and look much better. Although they added a little weight to this model due to the full length rubber at the bottom, it's not noticeable to me. The only thing I don't like is that the stack height seems a bit higher than the previous model, so there's less road feel. Only reason why I didn't rate 5 stars.
      Also, I have pretty high arches, so I have arch inserts that I added to these shoes and also the previous model to make them comfortable on longer runs.
