Mens Trail Glove 5

I have owned many pairs of water shoes, and these are the best. I wear water shoes on a regular basis for hiking in creeks. I also wear them periodically for padleboarding, or for walking on rocky areas near the ocean. I just got these and wore them for a creek hike. These are very light weight. I'm actually surprised that they seem to quality and yet are so light. They were comfortable, as far as water shoes go, the first time I put them on, straight out of the box. I wear orthotics in all my shoes, so I put my orthotics in them for wearing them to hike. They were super comfortable and stable, with my orthotics in them. The rubber on the bottom is as grippy as any water shoes I have ever had. I expect to slip on slimy rocks, which these did, but everything else they gripped well without slipping, above water and under water. There is a layer of rubber on top of the toes, which is fantastic. Hiking in the creek, my toes go underneath the edges of rocks often, which can jam and hurt your toes. Yesterday, on my creek hike, my foot went under the edges of many rocks, and it never hurt my toes. I was very pleased with this. My previous water shoes covered the whole foot (not sandals, no vent holes), like these, but the tops were loose enough that they let in little rocks. These tie up pretty snug, so they kept rocks out well. Sand is going to get in no matter what. I will buy another pair someday, if they still exist when it's time to get new ones. I expect that will be a while.

Got these to replace a pair of hiking boots I had. I have had similar pairs in the past, just not the trail version. I wore them a handful of times to walk the dog, before using them for hikes in RMNP. I basically didn’t break them in and I had zero problems. I love that they are minimal, zero drop and have a wide toe box. They were true to size and very comfortable. I had no issues with feeling rocks or anything, through the sole. With my current pair of barefoot Inov8’s I workout in, that is a problem outside. Obviously this is a different application, but I wanted a similar fit and feel. I hope that they hold up well, because they’re exactly what I was hoping for

This is the best running shoe in the world. Also for rock climbing and hiking and gym it's the best. The only better shoe was the trail glove 1, the original. I hope the company will not "tinker" with it more. The 6 and 7 are awful. They have a thick sole! Maybe merrell will bring this legend back by the time I need new ones 🙂. These are invincible, I have trusted them literally with my life scrambling, flying down hills from California to new England, and everywhere in between. Trail glove 1, 4, and 5 are the good ones. If you want true zero drop with extremely tough vibram to protect against rocks or other sharps. I'd pay three digits if they bring these back in the future.

Feels tight after wearing

I just tried these on and they fit perfectly. I noticed a really nice arch support so I know they will provide good comfort. I will take these out for a walk as soon as the snow melts but I know this was a good purchase. Thank you.

I bought these shoes to wear hiking on my National Park Tours. We did shorter hikes, less than 7 miles and I had 0% issues which is shocking to me. I usually have a really hard time with my feet in any shoes, no matter the comfort. The arch support was top notch and prevented me from any foot pain. They are super lightweight. You can feel rocks under your feet but I loved that part, it was like a massage while hiking. I wore these for hikes in the Badlands, Grand Teton and Glacier National Parks. I wore them walking on blacktop at home, not as comfortable. They are marketed as trail shoes so stick with that. I highly recommend these. I normally wear an 11 in mens and I saw they run large. I ordered a 10.5 and they were still large but I kept them. I had no issues with them being too large, I actually enjoyed the space. I wore these with Merrell hiking socks. Perfect combo!

It has been 2 years and they are still going strong. I find these shoes being more versatile than the trendy/flashy Vivobarefoot shoes, which I have owned in the past. I wear them primarily for weight lifting in the gym along with the weekly trail run. It is a pretty good deal considering the price, function, and longevity.

I'd like to start by saying that the moment I put the left shoe on I could tell i loved it. It felt perfect, the arch support was amazing. I know people in the comments have complained about the aggressive support, but as a person who is 6'6 wearing size 13 shoes I immediately liked the firm arch. the shoe was light, comfortable, plenty of room int he toe box. It was basically everything right with a barefoot trail shoe. Then I put on the right shoe, and thought my foot had shrunk. In the pictures you can see a clearly 1 inch gap between where my toe is with my foot to the back of the shoe. The arch support hit well in front of my arch. If I slid my foot forward to properly place the arch support you can see the 1 inch gap in the back of the shoe. I measured the shoes all over, I could not identify an additional inch, at most form to box to back was an extra half centimeter. I returned the shoes, didn't want to roll the dice on a new pair, it it's a month to get a pair of 12s. I'll have to go into a store and try these ones again.

Tres meses con muy poco uso y se está despegando la punta…

Angenehmes Tragegefühl, genug platz für zehen

Es muy cómoda y se adapta muy bien a las características de mi pisada. Además tiene refuerzos que la hacen muy duradera. Serán las segundas iguales después que con las primeras haya hecho más de mil kilómetros y aún están nuevas

Scarpa comoda e precisa, adatta a fondi asciutti e compatti. Poco robusta alle sollecitazioni ripetute sui lati mediani della tomaia, dove tende a lacerarsi, dopo 300 km circa. Nella parte interna della tomaia, e abrasiva sull'attaccattura dell'alluce, formando abrasione e vesciche, se portata senza calze per lunghi chilometraggi.

die Schuhe gingen zurück weil sie zu groß waren aber eine Nummer kleiner bestellt und sie sehen sehr gut aus, und passen perfekt, schönes Material schön zu tragen (die Größenangaben sind genau richtig, es lag am Beschenkten welcher falsche Angaben gemacht hat .-)), die Rücksendung war denkbar praktisch mit QR Code sofort machbar, Geld kam umgehend zurück, vielen Dank auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert, Die Schuhe werden zum Joggen (10km ca.) genutzt, bisher sehr gut damit gelaufen. Die Sohle ist stabiler als die bisherigen Barfussschuhe. Ich hatte bisher die Merell Glove 4.
