Merrell Trail Glove 8 Trainers - Brown - UK 10.5

The Merrell Barefoot 2 construction is designed to keep your foot in a natural position, promoting natural movement and enhancing ground feel for a more intuitive and stable experience on the trail.

The FloatPro™ foam provides a thin layer of high-efficiency cushioning designed for lightweight, lasting comfort without compromising the minimalist feel and ground connection.

While they can be used for short distances on roads, the Trail Glove 8 is optimized for trail running and natural terrain due to its minimalist design and focus on ground feel. Extensive road running may lead to faster wear and less comfort compared to dedicated road shoes.

FlexConnect™ technology enhances ground connection by allowing the shoe to flex and adapt with your foot's natural movement, providing a more responsive and stable feel on varied terrain.

Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Use a soft brush or damp cloth for dirt. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Yes, a gradual transition is recommended. Start with shorter durations of wear and gradually increase as your feet and lower legs adapt to the natural foot mechanics. Listen to your body and avoid overexertion during the adaptation phase.

The shoes feature a breathable mesh and TPU upper, 100% recycled laces, a breathable mesh lining (with recycled content), and a 30% recycled integrated EVA foam insole. The outsole is Vibram® TC5+.

Adjust the lacing system, ensuring the burrito tongue is centered and not overly bunched. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the minimalist fit requires further adaptation.

Ensure the Vibram® TC5+ outsole is clean. Mud or debris can reduce grip. If the outsole is worn, it may be time to consider replacement.

The minimalist, barefoot construction may require a gradual transition period. Start with shorter walks or runs and gradually increase duration as your feet adapt. Ensure proper lacing for a secure but not overly tight fit.

Lightly brush off dry dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a damp cloth. For thorough cleaning, hand wash with cold water and mild soap, then air dry.
