Merrell Barefoot" Shoes accomplice with Vibram, slated for Bounce 2011Vibram has partnered with Merrell to barrage "Merrell Barefoot," a accumulating of "six minimalist styles for men and women" for Bounce 2011 according to a July 2010 commodity blue-blooded Sole Mates accounting by Greg Dutter for Cossack Plus Magazine (Click "Current issue," page 42: aswell here).

That said, don't apprehend Merrell Barefoot to attending like Vibram 5 Fingers these are slated to be mono-toed "shoes." Per the article:The aberration starts with Merrell aloft FiveFingers' glove-like toe architectonics for what Zwiers describes as an "actual shoe." Added differences awning a narrower last, a little added cushioning in the forefoot area, added in the argot and heel, Merrell's proprietary Omni-Fit lacing arrangement on a lot of styles, and failing top abstracts Zwiers addendum the differences are abundantly corrective and wearers still get the abounding barefoot acquaintance "

Perhaps anticipating the approaching of minimalist cossack and accretion appeal for shoes that baby to anxiety (and not carnality versa!), Merrell Barefoot is already planning for an broadcast band in 2012. So what is traveling on here? It's not hasty that we are starting to see added shoe manufacturers get in on the assembly of minimalist "barefoot shoes" afterwards seeing the advancing beforehand of Vibram 5 Fingers (Note on page 20 of Cossack Plus is an commodity about barefoot running!).

I'll be analytical to see how this Merrell Barefoot band turns out absolute questions that bounce to mind:
* How will the narrower endure affect barefoot feel? Will toes still be able to ample naturally?
* If it's all said and done, how abundant sole are we talking about here?

Lots of questions and I assumption we're just gonna acquire to delay until added advice is arise about "Merrell Barefoot" shoes. That said, It's account acquainted that the aloft pictured chicken and atramentous Merrell Barefoot shoe had a byline calling it the "Trail Glove." Shouldn't it be the Aisle Mitten? Just sayin'!
