Merrell Trail Glove Shoe -
A barefoot shoe for any boy who plays outside in the wild.
Your kids is bound to prefer running around barefoot, so you might as well give him the Merrell Boys' Trail Glove Shoe so he can get that same close-to-the-ground feeling with the added protection of a Vibram sole. Unlike a traditional running shoe, the Trail Glove does away with thick cushioning and a heel design that forces your boy onto his toes with a heel that's too high. Instead, this shoe uses minimal cushioning and 0mm heel-to-toe drop to allow a natural foot position that ensures foot flexibility, balance, and muscle development for running, jumping, and playing inside or outside.
Fit:
- Combination hook-and-loop strap and quick-pull lacing system provides an easy-to-use method for securing the fit
Fabric:
- Barefoot construction means that this shoe keeps his foot close to the ground, feels light underfoot, and utilizes a construction that allows his foot to flex naturally
Ventilation:
- Synthetic and mesh upper is lightweight, well ventilated, quick-drying, and easy to clean
Traction and Grip:
- Vibram Traction Glove sole features a groove pattern that provides tons of traction on hard, flat surfaces
- Traction Glove sole design also allows gives this sole plenty of flex so his foot can roll easily from midfoot to toe
Comfort:
- EVA footbed is soft and comfortable and features an Aegis antimicrobial treatment that resists the buildup of odor-causing bacteria
Features:
- Vibram TC1 rubber is highly durable so it'll last for many seasons to come
- 0mm drop also puts his foot in a more naturally balanced position that helps to reduce impact on joints during footstrike
- 0mm ball-to-heel drop (offset or heel-toe drop) levels his foot inside this shoe so it's easier to move to a more midfoot or forefoot footstrike when he's walking or jogging

I think it is crazy to pay so much for a kids shoe. After repeated suggestions from my sons OT (has sensory issues) I bought these. My son immediately was comfortable and running with these shoes. These are much easier to get on then the fingered barefoot shoes. These are great for my boy with special needs, they do the job yet he still looks cool. I just wish they were more affordable. Any parent with special needs kids is broke so this amount was a huge hit. But, you do whatever it takes to get your kid healthy and happy. Merrell, you should make toddler sizes these would be great for toddlers with autism and SPD. Moms have a hard time find shoes that these kids will wear.
My seven year old triathlete loves them! My son normally runs in Vibram Five Fingers, but those are a little too slow to put on when racing Triathlons (Swim, bike and run). So, we found these barefoot alternatives that are super fast to put on, very comfortable, great for those who are used to bare feet or minimalist shoes. I am pleased with their durability, traction, looks, etc. I have no complaints, nor does my son. He would prefer to wear them over all his other shoes, except the Five Fingers. He loves them and best of all, they are excellent for not causing foot damage like regular running shoes.
I run dogs in agility and the new trend has been the barefoot shoe. I have knee problems and noticed this summer if I actually ran barefoot, my knee felt better so the barefoot shoe was my next option. Chose the boys Trail Glove due to the price difference. Fits wonderfully and the cheddar color is so pretty. I've run two trials so far and the difference in my knee is amazing... no swelling or pain. Had a few aches and pains in the front of my legs and feet but that's to be expected when switching to these shoes. Very happy with the shoes and Zappos service!
My kids beg to wear these shoes. They are easy to get on and go. They love that they do not have to wear socks (no blisters!) and I love the anti-microbial element that prevents stinky feet. My kids have average to wide feet and have plenty of toe wiggling room. These shoes look cool on and their minimalist profile goes well with narrow leg pants and shorts. My daughter has a pair of girl's shoes in this style and they are cute with her skirts, too. Fantastic shoes, Merrell never disappoints. They do run about half a size large.
My son loves these shoes. This is his second pair and only because he outgrew the first. He wore them all summer last year and they were still going strong when they got too small. He begged for a new pair for this summer. He is a 1.5 and the 2 was too big. We exchanged for a 1 and it fits perfectly.
