Merrell Trail Glove 8 - Men's - Oolong - 9.5 UK

Merrell Trail Glove 8 is a minimalist trail shoe designed for natural movement and close ground contact. It features 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 a Vibram outsole offers reliable grip on dry and slightly damp terrain. The upper is breathable mesh with a TPU layer and a Burrito tongue that wraps the foot for a natural fit, supported by Merrell Barefoot 2 construction to help keep the foot in a natural position.

The shoe uses 100% recycled laces, breathable mesh lining, and a mesh footbed cover, with a 30% recycled integrated EVA foam insole. It combines lightweight comfort with a barefoot-inspired design, making it suitable for warm conditions and high-intensity running on mixed surfaces.
