Merrell Trail Glove 8 Barefoot Training Shoe - Rattan - 12.5 UK

Merrell Trail Glove 8 is a minimalist trail shoe designed for natural movement and close ground contact. It features a 0 mm heel drop and a flexible construction to deliver a barefoot-like running sensation on trails and firmer surfaces. A lightweight FloatPro midsole provides a thin layer of cushioning without compromising ground feel, while the Vibram outsole offers reliable grip on dry and slightly damp terrain. The upper is breathable and lightweight, with a burrito tongue that helps a natural fit. The shoe is built on Merrell’s Barefoot 2 concept to keep the foot in a natural position, and incorporates recycled materials such as 100% recycled laces and a mesh lining.

In addition to the barefoot-inspired design, the footwear uses Cleansport NXT to help prevent odour formation and features a breathable mesh lining and mesh footbed cover. The insole and midsole integrate EVA foam with FloatPro technology to maintain lightweight comfort, while the Vibram TC5+ outsole is formulated to provide dependable traction for outdoor multi-sport activities.

Merrell Trail Glove 8 combines minimalist construction with practical materials to support a natural running experience on varied terrains. The upper, composed of synthetics and textile, aims for a comfortable, low-profile fit while allowing heat to escape during high-intensity runs.
