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.

The 7 is good (the 4 is best).

The 7 is good. Of course no shoe is nearly as good as the Trail Glove 4, and I should have stocked up on about 10 pairs...oh well.

Merrill shoes are amazing

Merrill trail glove shoes are essential to my being, given my disability. They provide tactical comfort. Shoes. Essentially

Great fit and very comfortable

Have a lot of problems with my feet and these are the most comfortable shoes I have worn in a long long time. Normally I get wide size these are not and fit perfectly. Great shoes, I suspect this barefoot type of shoe will become very popular in the years to come

I Wanted These to Work

As a fan of Merrell shoes (at least 8 pair currently) I really wanted these to work . . barefoot, built well, sharp looking. If it weren't for sizing issues these would be a 5. Followed instructions on sizing when ordering first pair, i.e., "run large, order down 1/2 size. I am normally size 9.5/10 and since I already had size 10 Vapor Glove 6's at size 10 (advertised as running on small size), I ordered 9.5. Too tight, particularly in the toe box. Returned for size 10 and while length was fine, still too tight in the toe box. At this point stepping up to 10.5 does not seem to make sense. For a true barefoot experience, the toe box needs to be wider. Still a Merrell's fan, however.

Great shoe, but sole wears too fast.

Probably my favorite, most comfortable off road running shoe. Its biggest issue is the sole wears far too quickly. I've not tried the most recent model but on most prior models it was an issue. I almost never wear these shoes anywhere but off road and the still wear too quickly

Soles wearing out fast

These shoes are super comfy and I was rally excited about using them as day hikers and casual off-road runners, but I've barely warn them 10 times and the soles are already wearing out. At this point, they will not even last a month worth of wear. Was hoping for a lot more from a brand that I usually have a lot of confidence in.

Excellent minimalist shoe for trail

Long time Merrell customer. Appreciate the thorough specs and description, especially with sizing. I bought the Trail Gove 7 in my regular size to accommodate orthotic insoles. Description stated this model runs a half size larger. The fit was perfect. Had i ordered my regular size, i would have had to exchange it. So, order a half size smaller if you plan to wear it out of the box. Order your normal size if you insert orthotic insoles.

Fabulous shoe

I have purchased 5 pairs of these shoes over the years. I love them more than any other shoe. So comfortable. Wish they were wider but they are wide enough.
