Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Wrapt is a specialized trainer designed for adults who seek a natural, barefoot experience without sacrificing foot protection. Its zero-drop, anatomical design mimics the natural shape of the human foot, making it an excellent choice for those looking to improve their gait and natural movement. Note that because this is a barefoot-style shoe, individuals accustomed to high-cushion trainers may require a gradual adjustment period to adapt to the lack of traditional heel support.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Wrapt is primarily a hybrid trainer. While the construction is durable, its barefoot nature makes it more suitable for walking, light exercise, and casual wear rather than long-distance high-impact running.
What does 'zero-drop' mean?
Zero-drop means there is no difference in height between the heel and the forefoot, allowing your foot to sit in a flat, natural position.
How should the Merrell Wrapt fit?
These shoes are designed to have a wide, anatomical toe box. Your toes should have enough room to splay comfortably, and the midfoot should feel secure but not constricted.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
We recommend against machine washing, as it can damage the materials and bond. Stick to hand cleaning with mild soap and a damp cloth.
How do I know if the size is right?
Ensure there is about a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural movement.
Troubleshooting
Feeling soreness in calves or feet after first use
This is common when switching to zero-drop shoes. Reduce usage time and slowly increase duration over several weeks.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Ensure laces are properly adjusted for a snug fit. If walking in loose terrain, consider using a gaiter for extra protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the Merrell Wrapt; however, if you are new to barefoot-style shoes, it is recommended to start by wearing them for short intervals throughout the day to let your feet adjust. To maintain the life of your trainers, clean them after heavy outdoor use by brushing off dried mud and debris. If the uppers become soiled, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the materials and the adhesive bonds.
