This pair of Merrell shoes is losing their toes

My postings here have fallen further behind. This batch is over a year ago. I will attempt to catch up as my time permits. Please continue to check in as I slowly catch up.

 

Merrell makes several series of nifty shoes. These are the "barefoot" series, thin soles, zero lift, great running or hiking shoes. This particular pair is the "Lithe Glove" model, woman's size 8, a good fit for me.

 

I've worn them often, and one weakness of these older ones is that the glue holding the sole on fails. Here, the toes are "talking", dangling and often folding underneath.

 

In the year since these photos were taken, the out/mid soles have broken off at the toes, and are loose in the entire forefoot and again at the rear of the heel. Watch for newer photos, where they are becoming true "barefoot" shoes.
