You can enhance your connection to the earth with the Merrell Trail Glove 8 Men’s Shoes, a minimalist runner designed to mirror your foot's natural movement while offering the protection you need for the trail. This shoe features a thin, high-efficiency layer of FloatPro foam that provides you with enduring comfort and responsive energy return without the bulk of a traditional trainer. You will experience superior agility and a better ground connection through the integrated FlexConnect technology, which allows your foot to flex naturally over unpredictable surfaces. To ensure you stay confident in all conditions, the Vibram TC5+ outsole offers you reliable traction on both wet and dry terrain. Built with Merrell Barefoot 2 construction and a 100% Vegan-Friendly design, this model also includes an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam insole (30% recycled) and Cleansport NXT for natural odour control, giving you a fresh and streamlined performance every time you head out.

Embrace your natural stride and conquer your next adventure with a shoe built to move exactly as you do.
