Can’t wait to see a more in depth review of the shoes…particularly interested in wear patterns and how the shoes handle mid/forefoot strikers.

Tom, I can also recommend the Altra Instinct as an excellent zero drop cushioned shoe. Nice wide toe box too. It’s my go to shoe for longer runs.

How soon can we expect them?

Bare Access is already available on the Merrell site if you are really eager…

Also any reason why you seemingly steer clear of Adidas? I’d be interested to hear your views on the Adios. In the UK it is being touted as THE best marathon shoe evermade following world records by Haile and then Makau in them.
