Why We Like The Merrell Trail Glove 7 Running Shoe
Made sustainably with almost entirely recycled materials, the Trail Glove 7 Running Shoe features a low-profile and zero-drop design for minimalist runners who crave a barefoot feel. Merrell's Barefoot 2 construction optimizes a natural foot position and toe splay, while an external rear sling and wrap-around Vibram sole locks in our heel and forefoot for a secure fit.

They do not last at all. VERY weak threading.
I tried to get into this barefoot hysteria, but my feet were having none of it after 30+ miles. So now they are destined to become house slippers. I forded creeks and slammed them into jagged sharp rock without a single complaint, the soles are great. The tread has held up admirably but the threads holding the laces have already begun to fall apart. My right shoe threads are literally falling apart in multiple areas. I would not recommend these to anyone wishing more than a month of use. I bought these at a Merrell store near me a month ago and might try to do an exchange. Junk.

Best shoe yet
This is by far the most comfortable shoe I’ve owned. I’ve found the perfect shoe for my feet. I have an arch so the zero drop stuff isn’t all that comfortable for me, this shoe is minimal but has nice arch support. I bought 3 different pairs and now can’t go back and wear previous versions of the trail glove as they are too constricting and aren’t nearly as comfortable as this shoe.

Trail Glove 7- Great update to this awesome shoe
This is my 4th pair of Trail Gloves and use them for daily work outs and light hikes on trails. I still wear an older pair for daily use. They are lightweight, comfortable, supportive, zero drop, and have a sturdier sole than the Vapor Trail (which I also like). These are great minimalist shoes, with a slightly more rugged sole. Will buy again and definitely recommend yto others.

Back to a shoe I can wear
I absolutely loved the Trail Glove 4 Knit and had many pairs. I tried the inside not like the 5 or 6 model. Far too narrow for me in the mid shoe area. With the Trail Glove 7 they are back to a shoe I can wear. Thank goodness as I'm down to may last pair of 4s!! Love them.

Narrow toebox
I tried them on and could not buy them. I have loved previous Trail Gloves and I was looking forward to this. I was disappointed in the narrow toe box. My skinny foot felt cramped just waking around in the store. I could not run in them. Definitely not a "Barefoot" shoe as advertised.

Barefoot trail hiking
I hike in the mountains daily. These shoes are great. Comfortable and good traction on scree and good protection on rocks. These are the best barefoot shoes I’ve owned.

Not barefoot
Previous versions of Trail Glove were barefoot shoes, but version 7 are not barefoot shoes. Narrow, drop over 0, thick sole. I am great fan of Merrell's barefoot shoes and my disappointment was enormous when I purchased them.

Bought Another Pair
Honestly a lot of ppl had negative things to say and maybe that’s true compared to the previous models but these are awesome. I have several pairs of Merrells and these are my favorite. Minimal, breathable, just enough padding. I wear them daily because they allow my feet to breathe. They also feel great. I bought a black pair for work. I haven’t ran in them but they could definitely do that on some trails. I use the MTL Skyfire 2s for trail running. Great for gym. I give them 5/5.

Great
These shoes are great! I wear them almost all the time. I purchased a pair of all black to give me the most versatility for night and day for informal informal. For the last 30 years I have had Merrill and I always keep going back to them.
