Early 2011 seems like no time ago, yet in the fast moving world of world of barefoot shoes it seems an eternity ago. Then a few brave brands made a tentative foray into zero drop shoes and the biggest of them was Merrell with the Trail Glove.
Sixteen months later buyers are spoilt for choice of zero drop shoes and yet the Merrell Trail Glove continues to be one of our best selling barefoot shoes.
Sure Merrell have added few new colours to freshen up the range, but the design of the shoe remains identical to the original design where Merrell got so much right.
The Merrell barefoot range is now extensive with 13 different models for men and woman but is still the original Trail Glove that is most popular.

which, in your opinion, is the better merrell shoe for multi terrain (non-technical off-road)? the road glove or the trail glove?
Hi Karl,
In my opinion that flat sole of the Road Glove makes it very road specific. It demands a flat surface. So the general purpose shoe of the two is the Trail Glove.
