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.

Great Shoe But
Great shoe but by comparison to the Trail Glove 4 that is mesh, it is stiff.

Not wide like they used to be
I went back to the Trail Glove 4 (found a used pair online) because any newer model isn’t truly wide or barefoot anymore :(

Love my Merrells
While I prefer Trail Glove 5 and 6, this seems like a good shoe. The toe box is more narrow and the shoe feels a bit stiff yet after wearing it, it's molding better to my foot. I do appreciate the traction and lightweight aspects. It just doesn't seem a 'barefoot ' as precious models. Still a good shoe. Sized a tad smaller but this may feel that way due to more narrow toe box.

Great Shoes for Hiking
Fantastic shoes! Zero drop shoes have been a gamechanger for me. Excellent for hiking on steep trails. Good traction and very comfortable--nice wide toe box. Dramatically reduced my foot and knee pain. I have already purchased another pair to hike at Glacier NP in a couple of months.

Runs small design defect
I wanted so to love these shoes but sadly they do not work for me. The run too small and the part of the sole that comes up on top of the shoe causes my toes discomfort when I step.

Perfect fit
Wore my Merrell’s on hikes in England. Great color, best arch support, light on the feet.

Comfort Plus
This is my second pair of Trail Glove 7’s. They’re so comfortable that when my first pair wore out, I replaced them with the same shoe. Great for everything from everyday walking to trails.

Great shoes
Great shoes they were comfortable off the hop. I have been wearing them for my daily walks. I live on a dirt road and you can feel the rocks but not uncomfortably

Outstanding shoes!
These are great shoes! So comfortable, you feel like you don’t have shoes on at all. They are light, but hug your foot with amazing support. I’ve had surgery on both of my feet for plantar fasciitis and these shoes are so comfortable, make my feet “Happy Feet”.
