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.

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.

These shoes FIT! Rare event!

Wow, these fit nice and snug on the heel so no blisters, and nice and wide in the toe box so the very painful at times bunion is completely pain free. I love these for those two reasons. I haven't had them long enough to experience the quick tread wear others note.

Good but could be better

I really do like these shoes and find them very comfortable however there are 2 things that I feel are worth mentioning that if fixed would make them great shoes. In my opinion they run about a half size small (my toes are almost to the end) and the tread wears off quickly. Aside from that, I walk miles in them everyday and have had less foot/leg pain since I’ve gotten them. They have a typical average width. I will most likely buy them again when I wear this pair out, but in a half size larger to give a little extra toe room.

TERRIFIC lightweight elliptical + other gym shoe

I am a daily gym visitor, working primarily with elliptical or incline speedy walking on treadmills as well as weight machines of various types. I am always on the lookout for lightweight yet supportive (but not bulky) nonrunning shoes for this purpose. And these shoes, replacing an older version of a similar MERRELL item, has be terrific. I have medium width size 8.5 feet and they are very happy in these shoes. Marvelous.

Love them!

I love these barefoots. This is my fourth pair! I wear them to work, working out, hiking and at work. Extremely comfortable. Have had no bunion pain since making the switch to these barefoots.

Barefoot Hiking shoe

Absolutely love. I purchased as a lightweight hiking shoe, but has turned into my wear everywhere shoe. Light and breathable for summer. If you’re looking for a bare foot feeling this is the one.

Exzcellent but beware of quick decline in sole.

This is my 3rd pair of these in 2 years! They are incredibly comfortable but the sole of this shoe is very easily worn out. I wish they would keep the same shoe and put a stronger ingredient list in the make up of the soles!
