Merrell Men's Trail Glove 6 Sneaker

TIghter fitting than the vapour glove so id size up compared to those as the trail glove is very narrow. The arch is huge in these too so they probably wouldnt suite people with flatter feet

Love these, not 100% a bare foot shoe. But they give good connection with the ground whilst supporting the arch. Which is exactly what I was looking for. Well constructed and usual quality I expect from Merrell. Should get plenty of mileage out of these.

I bought these because my Vapor gloves are just too thin for trail running on rocky ground. I was looking for something still barefoot but with a bit more support on the rocks.These shoes are very minimal, lightweight and definitely provide the necessary protection whilst still giving that barefoot feeling of the ground.They are a narrow fit.There is a lot of arch support, so I don’t think truly barefoot but incredibly comfortable whilst running, straight out of the box.A great companion for my Vapor gloves but not a replacement.

The elastic banding at the shoe tongue makes fitting difficult without wrinkling socks.Tried to return them after being home from a long holiday (they were still at home in the box) but discovered that I was a day late at the nearby post office. Now stuck with a useless box of size tens and £70 out of pocket.

i rarely write reviews but i must say this is the most comfy shoe i ever wore. the heel fits like a climbing shoe snug as if its part of your skin and the front is so breathable you bare notice you're wearing something. must say the heel feels actually a little warm but maybe i get used to it once i wear them more.

Brought as a gift for my husband and he is really happy with them. He was worried that they looked a bit small but after loosening all the laces the fit is perfect.

Very tight toe box, does not fit barefoot criteria

I am slim-footed and size 8 and have always found Merrell shoes to be slightly small on length … so I always get a half size larger and these fitted perfectly. On the width size, these are absolutely tight …. And they fitted me perfectly…. Completely surrounds the whole foot and are extremely comfortable… but I can see people with “normal width” struggling with these. In terms of barefoot, I just love these … very good when walking and the vibram sole is perfect to stop stones etc from digging into the soles. Expensive but top quality (I am still wearing Trail Glove 3s from years ago !!!!!)
