Product Description.
■Excerpt from the manufacturer's description
The “Trail Glove 8” is a model that extends MERRELL’s Barefoot line into the “trail” category. While centered on a barefoot feel, it is designed to support stable footing even on varied terrain, such as uneven ground and mixed surfaces. Its most notable feature is the inclusion of thin, high-efficiency FloatPro foam in the midsole, which maintains a sense of connection with the ground. It does not block the sensation underfoot, ensuring sustained comfort even during extended activity, and naturally adapts to situations where you’re on the move all day—whether trail running, hiking, or active walking while traveling. Additionally, FlexConnect technology allows the sole to flex smoothly in response to uneven terrain, seamlessly following the foot’s natural movement. The outsole features MERRELL’s exclusive Vibram TC5+, delivering stable traction on everything from wet surfaces to dry trails.
*The stack height (sole height) of this product is 14 mm.
These barefoot-style training shoes feature a 0mm drop design created to unlock the human body’s natural potential, including muscles not typically used and balance. While “heel striking” is common with standard cushioned shoes, barefoot shoes encourage “forefoot striking.” Furthermore, by stripping materials and features down to the bare essentials, these shoes apply low-impact stress to muscles that are typically difficult to train, thereby enhancing training effectiveness. They also help improve running form, which can help prevent injuries. We recommend using barefoot shoes not only for running, weight training, and fitness but also for daily wear as you get accustomed to them.
