I purchased these as my "winter" barefoot shoes.  I currently own two pairs of Merrell Pace Glove's and the Lithe Glove doesn't even compare in comfort.  They are stiff and don't flex like the Pace Glove.  I was hoping I could wear these thru the winter months.  Because of the Pace Glove's mesh breathability, they are not suited for winter wear.  I ended up returning these and purchasing my second pair of Pace Gloves.
