Merrell Trail Glove 8 Trainers - Black - 10 UK

The Merrell Barefoot 2 construction is designed to keep your foot in a natural position, enhancing balance and promoting better proprioception, which is the body's ability to sense its position, movement, and actions.

While they offer a barefoot feel, it's recommended to ease into wearing minimalist shoes. Allow an adaptation period, starting with short durations and gradually increasing wear time to avoid discomfort or strain.

The Vibram TC5+ outsole is formulated for exceptional traction and durability for outdoor multi-sport activities, providing reliable grip on various surfaces.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water, followed by air drying, is the preferred method for cleaning.

This means that the materials used for the laces and the breathable mesh lining have been repurposed from existing waste materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after muddy or dirty activities. Regular light brushing can maintain appearance, while deeper cleaning can be done when the shoes are visibly soiled.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new to minimalist footwear, allow an adjustment period of several weeks, gradually increasing wear time. Consider wearing thin, moisture-wicking socks.

The Vibram TC5+ outsole provides excellent grip, but all outsoles can have reduced performance on extremely slick or wet surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal tread contact.

Remove the insole and air out the shoes. You can also lightly sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Hand wash as per care instructions if odor persists.
