Merrell Trail Glove 8 Women's Sneaker - Black - 3.5 UK

Merrell Trail Glove 8 is a minimalist trail shoe designed to foster natural movement and a close contact with the ground. It features a 0 mm heel drop and a flexible construction to deliver a barefoot-like running sensation on trails and firmer surfaces. The lightweight FloatPro midsole provides a thin layer of cushioning without compromising ground feel, while the Vibram outsole offers reliable grip on dry and lightly damp terrain. The upper is lightweight and breathable, supporting high-intensity runs in warm conditions. This model aligns with a minimalist approach to trail running, appealing to runners who prioritise natural foot position and direct terrain feedback.

The upper blends breathable mesh with synthetic overlays and includes a Burrito tongue to help wrap the foot for a natural fit. The design emphasises a minimalist, natural-running philosophy, with a Barefoot 2 construction approach that keeps the foot in a natural position. Laces are made from recycled materials, and the insole combines EVA foam with recycled content to support lightweight comfort over longer sessions.
