Merrell Trail Glove 8 Barefoot Training Shoe - Rattan

Merrell Trail Glove 8 is designed for minimalist trail running, emphasising natural movement and close ground contact. Featuring a 0 mm heel drop and barefoot-like feel, it combines a lightweight FloatPro midsole with a slim cushioning layer to preserve ground feel on both trails and firm surfaces. The shoe uses Barefoot shoe construction and a flexible, low-profile design to encourage natural foot positioning, while Flexconnect Technology supports mobility and stability across varying terrain. A Vibram TC5+ outsole delivers reliable traction on dry and slightly damp surfaces, complemented by a breathable upper built from mesh and synthetic materials.

The upper is lightweight and breathable, with a burrito tongue to help a natural fit. 100% recycled laces, breathable mesh lining, and a mesh footbed cover contribute to a sustainable, comfortable interior. The insole includes 30% recycled integrated EVA foam, and the Barefoot 2 construction is designed to keep the foot in a natural position. Cleansport NXT helps prevent odour formation, making these shoes suitable for high-intensity trail sessions.
