Why We Like The Trail Glove 7 Running Shoe

Designed for minimalist runners, Merrell updated the fit of the Trail Glove 7 Running Shoe to optimize natural foot positioning and toe splay. A 14mm stack height adds a touch more cushion and support than the previous version, but the FLEXconnect dual-direction grooves in the midsole enhance the fit for uncompromised ground connection and flexibility.

Narrow

I prefer the make of 2019 trail glove 5 I purchased, the outsole is better, the shoes are wider, overall looks better. These are narrow, style is not good looking.

Great fit for narrow feet

Great fit for my narrow foot and the toe box fits amazing. I wear them all day and could still go out dancing afterwards!

Wanted to like them

I bought the trail runner as a barefoot shoe. It is too narrow and made my mortons neuropathy to act up. I also was hiking a moderate trail in NH, and because they are in a drought the ground was extra sandy and I slid and fell twice and caught myself on the third. I may hit a rock or root and almost fall, but sliding on a sandy surface without much incline is not acceptable.

Best ever.

Best running and walking shoes I have ever owned. Hands down. Comfortable. Flexible. Supportive. Natural. Attractive (yes, I care about that). Low profile.

Comfort and protection

I bought the Trail Glove 7 not as a trail runner (which I don't do), but as an intermediate step to a more minimalist 'barefoot' model. My goal is to have a barefoot shoe that will fit into foot stretcher shoes in a rowing shell. These have become my favorite kicking around shoes because they were very comfortable from the get-go. They are quite grippy on smooth surfaces.

Size instructions wrong

The sizing instructions said to go half size up. The padding around the ankle in the back caused blisters on a short walk. Very disappointed.

Great shoe

These shoes are stylish and perfect for hiking and everyday walking. Have used them as my primary sneaker while on vacation in france and switzerland. Comfortable and good grip on rocky trails. Fit true to size for me. I'm a 10 women's and the 10 fit me perfectly with plenty of room in the toebox.

Best barefoot shoe EVER!!

I’ve primarily worn barefoot shoes for the last 20 years and the Trail Glove 7 is the best. I have a narrow foot and need a supportive, zero-rise shoe that really fits. The TG7 has it all. I LOVE IT!!

Poor Fit

I returned them because the fit was terrible. Not at all like the Trail Glove 6 which I love and wear to work at a botanical garden.

Like the Trail Glove 6 better

I am new to barefoot shoes and ordered my first pair (Merrell Trail Glove 6) while they were 50%off. These shoes did not seem popular with tepid reviews but at that price, why not? I fell in love and decided I needed more of them. Ordered the Trail Glove 7 and must say, I was disappointed compared to the 6 as the fit felt a bit sloppier, and the tread seemed to flex around when I walked in them. Found more 6’s and ordered two more pairs.
