Merrell Trail Glove 8 Shoes - Black
Black barefoot-style shoes that mimic walking barefoot. Their minimalist construction supports the proper placement of the foot, which affects stability and better movement control. The model is suitable for running and other sports, as well as everyday use. The optimized design supports even weight distribution, increasing comfort when walking on various types of surfaces.
Upper made of textile mesh and TPU reinforcements
The upper consists of breathable, perforated fabric supported by flexible TPU elements, ensuring good ventilation and a snug fit to the foot. A padded collar increases comfort around the ankle and reduces the risk of chafing, while the reinforced heel stabilizes the foot and improves control during movement. The front of the shoe is protected by a abrasion-resistant panel, safeguarding the toes from impacts.
Durable Vibram TC5+ outsole
The model is equipped with an external Vibram TC5+ outsole that provides high traction on a variety of surfaces—from asphalt to uneven terrain trails. The specially designed tread improves contact with the surface, enhancing stability and movement control during walks, runs, and outdoor activities. The material used for the outsole offers good abrasion resistance.
Midsole with FloatPro foam
The midsole made of FloatPro foam provides resilience and optimal cushioning, maintaining the low profile characteristic of barefoot construction. The midsole structure supports even weight distribution and natural foot rolling, improving movement control and reducing fatigue during longer challenges on various surfaces.
Profiled EVA foam insole
The shoes are equipped with an insole made of resilient EVA foam. The material effectively absorbs shocks during walking and running, while also reducing foot fatigue with extended use. The insole conforms to the shape of the foot, reducing pressure points.
Innovative Cleansport NXT technology
The shoes employ Cleansport NXT technology, utilizing microorganisms to neutralize unpleasant odors through the natural breakdown of organic matter. Beneficial microorganisms are permanently bonded to the material's fibers, where they activate in contact with moisture (sweat), producing enzymes that fight bacteria responsible for unpleasant odor. The eco-friendly process provides a feeling of freshness and comfort, especially important during intense activities.
Lacing system
The model features strong laces threaded through durable eyelets, allowing precise adjustment of the footwear 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.
Recycled materials
The Trail Glove 8 model is produced using recycled materials, promoting sustainable development and reducing negative environmental impact. The laces, inner lining, and insole are partially made from processed materials, highlighting the eco-friendly nature of the footwear.

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.
