Merrell has built an improved version of the previous Trail Glove. The Trail Glove 5 barefoot running shoes has more flexibility, and despite how thin the shoe is, it has a noticeable amount of protection and durability that reliably stands up under heavy trail mileage. More important, the Trail Glove 5 doesn’t give an obstructive fit, making it an excellent foot-strengthening tool, and the shoe supplies enough ground-feel to help you form a consistently stable connection with the trail at any pace. Read here of my full Merrell Trail Glove 5 review.

"I believe the forefoot strike is the engine of endurance running..."
BSc Neurobiology; MSc Biomechanics candidate, ultra minimalist runner & founder of RunForefoot. I was a heel striker, always injured. I was inspired by the great Tirunesh Dibaba to try forefoot running. Now, I'm injury free. This is why I launched Run Forefoot, to advocate the health & performance benefits of forefoot running and to raise awareness on the dangers of heel striking, because the world needs to know.
