Trail Glove 7 Hiking Sneaker

I purchased the pair for the trip that requires lots of walking. My slightly wide feet love them so much! I don't get tired even walking so long. Very happy with them.

These are really comfortable, lightweight shoes. The sole is very grippy. They are true to size.

Shoes showed up in a BAG. No box. Shoelaces were untied like someone already tried them on. Gross. If I wanted shoes that someone already tried on, I’d shop at thrift stores. I order online with hopes that the item comes to me never having been worn. Be aware. I’m returning.

I had tried the first or second Trail Gloves and then they seemed to lose their way and I did not like their successors and went back to traditional shoes from another brand. I decided to give them another try as I've started strength training recently and was asked to find shoes with a flat platform and a wide toe box. Overwhelmed by other choices in the zero drop category I returned to something familiar and after reading reviews decided to give these a try. Very happy to do so! They are a nice in-between choice for barefoot vs. traditional shoes. They cinch up tight through the midsection of the foot so feel secure and "supportive" on my high arches. Yet they feel grounded through the grippy soles and with room for my toes to wiggle. I'm happy with the straight black color option so I can wear them to the gym, to walk on rough roads, and to work. Glad this was a good return to Merrells!

Very comfortable with support. Felt like walking barefoot.

These were the first barefoot/minimalist shoes I got. I wasn't sure if I'd like them... I love them! They are COMFORTABLE for walks, shopping, etc. My feet do not get sore in them. They're becoming the only shoes I want to wear. (The laces are really long, so I just double tie them.)
