Merrell Trail Glove 8 Trainers - Pink - UK 8

Merrell Barefoot 2 construction is designed to keep the foot in its natural position, encouraging natural movement, better ground feel, and improved balance, mimicking the experience of being barefoot.

The 100% recycled laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing them onto the trainers.

While they can be used on pavement, the minimalist design is optimized for natural terrain and ground feel. For prolonged pavement running, users accustomed to more cushioning might prefer a different shoe.

The FloatPro Foam midsole provides lightweight and durable cushioning that lasts, contributing to overall comfort without adding excessive weight or bulk.

The shoe should feel snug but not constricting. Your toes should have room to spread slightly, and the heel should not slip. The burrito tongue helps provide a secure fit.

Due to the minimalist and natural fit design, these shoes are not typically designed to accommodate thick orthotic inserts. The integrated EVA foam insole provides a base level of support.

The Vibram TC5+ outsole is specifically formulated for Merrell and provides exceptional traction and durability for outdoor multi-sport activities on various terrains.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the laces using the burrito tongue system. Allow for an adaptation period as your feet adjust to the barefoot construction.

The Vibram TC5+ outsole offers excellent traction, but wet conditions can reduce grip for any shoe. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that might affect performance. For very slippery conditions, exercise extra caution.

Ensure shoes are fully dried after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes when not in use. Clean the breathable mesh lining and footbed cover as per care instructions.
