Since the rise of minimalism in footwear, Merrell has pioneered the barefoot category with its Vapor Glove and Trail Glove lines, designed to offer a more natural, lightweight, and ground-connected experience with a zero-drop construction that promotes a more ergonomic stance. Merrell ’s leadership in the minimalist footwear category continues with the Trail Glove 7 . Key updates include a more natural foot position for a true minimalist feel, a Vibram® EcoStep outsole that hugs the foot to maximize grip and connection, and a minimalist midsole made from FloatPro Foam™ , its best-ever midsole foam. Additionally, the midsole features FLEXconnect® , with two-way flex grooves for improved ground connection. Overall outsole height is 14mm.
