You can enhance your connection to the earth with the Merrell Trail Glove 8 Women’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.

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.
