Merrell Trail Glove 8 Men's - Barefoot Training Shoe - Rattan - UK 11

Merrell Trail Glove 8 is a minimalist trail shoe designed for natural movement and close contact with the ground. With a 0 mm heel drop and flexible construction, it delivers a barefoot-like running sensation on trails and firm surfaces. A lightweight FloatPro midsole provides a thin layer of cushioning without compromising ground feel, while FlexConnect technology supports mobility and stability across varied terrain. The Vibram outsole offers reliable grip on both dry and slightly damp surfaces, and the lightweight, breathable upper makes it well suited to warm conditions and high-intensity running. This model is a clear choice for runners seeking a minimalist approach to trail running.

The breathable mesh and TPU upper feature a burrito tongue to enhance a natural fit, and Merrell Barefoot 2 construction is used to keep the foot in a natural position. The design includes 100% recycled laces, breathable mesh lining, and a mesh footbed cover, with a 30% recycled integrated EVA foam insole and FloatPro foam midsole for lightweight comfort. A Vibram TC5+ outsole provides enhanced traction for outdoor multi-sport activities, designed exclusively for Merrell.

Technology highlights include barefoot shoe construction for a natural running feel and 0 mm drop; Cleansport NXT helps minimise odour. The upper is made from synthetics and textiles, with a textile lining and abrasion-proof rubber sole; the insole is textile.
