Merrell Trail Glove 8 Shoes - Black
Barefoot-style shoes in black color imitating walking barefoot. Minimalist construction supports proper foot alignment, translating into stability and better movement control. The model is suitable for running or sports activities, as well as everyday use. The refined design promotes an even distribution of load, enhancing comfort when moving on various types of surfaces.
Upper made of textile mesh and TPU, reinforcements
The upper is made of breathable perforated fabric supported by flexible elements made of TPU, providing good ventilation and foot fitting. Padded collar increases comfort around the ankle, reducing the risk of chafing, while heel reinforcement stabilizes the foot and improves control during movement. The front of the shoe is protected by an abrasion-resistant panel, shielding toes from impacts.
Durable Vibram TC5+ outsole
The model is equipped with an external Vibram TC5+ outsole providing excellent traction on varied surfaces - from hardened paths to uneven, earthy trails. Specially designed tread enhances ground contact, increasing stability and movement control during walking, running, and outdoor activities. The material used for the sole shows good abrasion resistance.
Midsole made of FloatPro springy foam
The midsole made of FloatPro foam ensures resilience and optimal cushioning, while maintaining the low profile characteristic of barefoot constructions. The midsole's structure promotes even load distribution and natural foot rolling, improving movement control and reducing fatigue during longer activities on varied surfaces.
Profiled EVA foam insole
The model is equipped with an insole made of resilient EVA foam. The material effectively cushions shocks occurring during walking or running, while reducing foot fatigue during extended use. The insole adapts to the foot shape, minimizing pressure points.
Innovative Cleansport NXT technology
The shoes utilizes Cleansport NXT technology, employing microorganisms to neutralize unpleasant odors through the natural decomposition of organic matter. Beneficial microorganisms are permanently bonded with the material fibers, activating in contact with moisture (sweat) and producing enzymes that combat bacteria responsible for unpleasant odors. This eco-friendly process ensures a feeling of freshness and comfort, especially important during intense activities.
Lacing system
The model is equipped with strong laces interwoven through durable eyelets, allowing precise adjustment of the footwear to the foot shape. The lacing system ensures even tension distribution along the entire upper length, translating into stable shoe retention during movement.
Materials from recycling
The Trail Glove 8 model utilizes recycled materials in its production, supporting sustainable development and reducing negative environmental impact. The shoelaces, 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.
