Trail Glove 8

Trail2026-01-30 · JP · ReleaseChecked 2026-10-13

Trail Glove 8 extends Merrell’s barefoot approach to the trail, prioritizing natural movement and ground connection in a minimalist platform. A thin FloatPro midsole, Barefoot 2 construction and FLEXconnect help it flex with uneven terrain on long outings. The burrito tongue and external rear sling secure the foot and heel, while Vibram TC5+ supplies wet-and-dry traction for trail runs, hikes and active walking.
