Merrell Trail Glove 8 Shoes - Black
Black barefoot-style shoes that emulate barefoot walking. Their minimalist design supports the proper positioning of the foot, enhancing stability and better movement control. The model is suitable for running, other sports, and everyday use. The optimised construction aids in even weight distribution, increasing comfort when walking on various surfaces.
Upper made of textile mesh and tpu reinforcements
The upper is composed of breathable, perforated fabric supported by flexible TPU elements, ensuring good ventilation and a snug fit to the foot. The padded collar enhances comfort around the ankle and reduces the risk of chafing, while the reinforced heel stabilises the foot and improves control during movement. The front of the shoe is protected by an abrasion-resistant panel, safeguarding the toes from impacts.
Durable Vibram TC5+ outsole
The model's Vibram TC5+ outsole offers excellent grip on a variety of surfaces - from asphalt to uneven trails. The specially designed tread improves ground contact, increasing stability and movement control during walking, running, and outdoor activities. The material used for the outsole is characterised by good abrasion resistance.
Midsole made of springy FloatPro foam
The midsole made of FloatPro foam provides springiness and optimal cushioning, maintaining the low profile typical of barefoot construction. The midsole structure supports even load distribution and natural foot roll, improving movement control and reducing fatigue during long challenges on various terrains.
Moulded insole made of EVA foam
The shoes are equipped with an insole made of resilient EVA foam. The material effectively absorbs shocks during walking and running, while reducing foot fatigue during prolonged use. The insole adapts to the shape of the foot, reducing pressure points.
Innovative Cleansport NXT technology
The shoes incorporate Cleansport NXT technology, using microorganisms to neutralise unpleasant odours through the natural breakdown of organic matter. Beneficial microorganisms are permanently bonded to the fabric fibres, where, upon activation by moisture (sweat), they produce enzymes that combat odour-causing bacteria. This eco-friendly process delivers a feeling of freshness and comfort, particularly important during intense activities.
Lacing system
The model features strong laces, threaded through durable eyelets, allowing for a precise fit to the shape of the foot. The lacing system ensures even tension distribution along the entire length of the upper, resulting in a stable hold of the shoe during movement.
Materials from recycling
In the production of the Trail Glove 8 model, recycled materials were used, promoting sustainable development and reducing the negative impact on the environment. The laces, inner lining, and insole are partially made from recycled materials, highlighting the shoe's eco-friendly nature.

The EVA sole made of lightweight foam is characterized by its flexibility and good shock absorption properties. It reduces foot fatigue, especially when wearing shoes for long periods of time. It adjusts to the shape of the foot, providing support and comfort for the wearer.
Vibram TC5+ is a type of rubber sole characterized by very good traction and grip, both on wet and dry surfaces. In addition, it protects the foot from uneven terrain and cushions any impact.
Cleansport NXT is a technology that uses microorganisms to neutralize odors by naturally breaking down organic matter. Beneficial microorganisms are permanently fused to the fibers of the materials, where, when they come into contact with the organic material (sweat), they activate and produce enzymes that fight the bacteria responsible for the odor. This ecological process ensures a feeling of freshness and comfort even during the most intense activities.
Float Pro Foam is a type of neoprene foam, characterized by lightness, very good cushioning and fit. It is used very often in footwear as a component of the sole, providing comfort and convenience on uneven and varied terrain.
