Become One With the Trail in Merrell Trail Glove Sneakers
Merrell was founded in 1981 when Randy Merrell began making custom hiking boots for some outdoor enthusiast friends. Since then, Merrell has branched out to encompass a large variety of athletic shoes. Merrell bases all shoes on four pillars, including design, versatility, durability, and comfort. This means that all shoes they make should look good while remaining functional, comfortable, and long-lasting.
What features are available with these Merrell shoes?These Merrell Trail Glove sneakers for men were designed for the minimalist trail runner or hiker who wants to get the most out of their adventures. Featuring a very low stack height of 11.5 millimeters, these shoes allow you to get a better feel of the ground while still offering some protection to the feet. Some models include a GORE-TEX upper, making the shoe waterproof to keep you comfortable. The Trail Glove sneaker is now in its 5th generation for good reason—it is a minimalist runner's favorite. You can find limited-edition models and some of the most recent models. A few of the defining features of the Trail Glove sneaker include:
- Mesh and TPU upper and mesh liner for increased breathability
- Merrell Barefoot 2 construction to allow you to maintain stability while focusing on where your foot is on the ground
- Vibram TC5+ outsole for added durability without sacrificing flexibility
- TrailProtect Rock plate protects the foot against sharp debris underfoot
- Hyperlock TPU heel counter secures foot in place and minimizes excess movement
You can find these Merrell Trail Glove shoes in men's sizes 7-15. Some of the older generations might not fall into that size range, however. The newest generation, the Trail Glove 5, reportedly runs about a half size too big, so keep that in mind when ordering. Otherwise, these shoes have been known to fit true to size, so it is a good idea to order your regular size. Additional information on sizing is available on the manufacturer's site.
What colors and style features are there?Though these shoes serve a very specific purpose, they still maintain some style aspects like vibrant colors, including yellow, orange, and green. You can also find more toned-down colors like gray, black, and tan, too. The majority of the shoes have traditional lace-up closures, but some have the Omni-Fit lacing system, which provides for an all-around snug feel. You will also see the Merrell "mountain" logo along the sides of the shoes, often in contrasting colors.
