Trail Glove 7 Hiking Sneaker (Women)

I have been wearing xero drop shoes for about 5 years now. I used to only wear hiking boots, but a bad time with plantar fasciitis led me to an ex-surgeon who showed me how to walk differently, and how wearing heals caused my fascia to collapse. I have over 1200 miles on the Appalachian Trail, about half of them with Xero drop shoes. My last two pair of hiking shoes have been Merrell Trail Glove 7's and I love them.

These are probably most comfortable shoes I have ever had. While they are almost barefoot they still have slight arch support . The toe box is pretty wide and shoes itself are also wide but you still can tighten them up if your foot not as wide. I have been wearing them at the gym for four months now as they are perfect for lifting and occasionally wear them casually. I decided to buy a second pair (different color) because I am afraid they will discontinue making Trail Glove 7. Simply perfect shoes! Highly recommend!
