Customer Reviews Merrell Trail Glove 5

I love this shoe.. I was a little nervous about purchasing this shoe because of the reviews, I personally love the arch support (because I have low arches) and it's true to size. Love the minimalist and simplistic style.

These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I own. Wonderful arch support, very roomy toe box.

Totally LOVE these shoes! I am not a runner by any stretch of the imagination, but have found that running shoes and trail shoes are the most comfortable and provide the support I need. I have a very high arch and instep and to find a shoe that give me proper support is very difficult. These shoes are just everything I need in a very comfy shoe with support.

Have been wearing Merrell's for many years now. Once you find something that is good quality and very comfortable you stick with them. My Trail Glove 5 Merrell's are as expected. I don't feel like I'm wearing a confining shoe, instead I feel like I'm walking barefoot. My feet feel at home in my Merrell's. My feet are happy in my Merrell's. These are and have always been, to me, the best and most comfortable shoes I can ever wear. I LOVE MY MERRELL'S!!!!!

This was the first barefoot shoe I've ever owned and I'm blown away by how great these feel. The toe box is roomy so you can really feel and grip the ground, yet my feet still feel protected. They offer excellent traction for climbing around on slippery rocks and wet trails, too. Favorite shoes ever!

Love these shoes. Candy wait to get another pair. Most comfortableshoe I have ever had.

Love these shoes. I find them to be better than the Minimus made by New Balance.

i love it, very light and very comfortable

I've been buying the trail glove for years. The fit is perfect always, and is a comfortable all around shoe.

Great shoe. I've been wearing the Pace Glove for years and cannot find them anymore so made the switch to the trail glove. I wear these shoes for 12 hours when working as a nurse and I love them. They do run the 1/2 size larger than other Merrell shoes as stated in the description.

Was honestly not sure really what to expect when I ordered these but I was pleasantly surprised with the overall fit and support of these shoes. Feels like you have nothing on but the support of a good hiking shoe. Very light and breathable gives all day comfort

I love my shoes. Great style and comfort. Thank you Merrell!

This product has the perfect support for plantar fasciitis. I've been suffering for quite awhile and have now found relief!

Great shoes

Probably put about 20 miles on these within two weeks and I don't regret buying these shoes. My only complaint is that the laces are breaking in still and stretch out during my run and make the shoe looser. I think within the week they will be stretched out enough to stop doing this, other than that love them!

These are my first "barefoot" runners and I love them! I wore them to walk all over town then run a 5k (23,000 steps on day 1) and they were incredibly comfortable. I also bought the vapor glove 4 in the same size and found those to be a little snug while these had plenty room. The toe box has plenty of space and there is great arch support as well. I didn't feel any rocks while running.

I bought the Trail Glove 5 as an introductory shoe to minimalist running and the recommendation of my partner who loves the men's version. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. The fit is great and very comfortable over long distances, and the colors and design are very attractive. Would buy again!

I've only wore this shoe a handful of times, but so far it's great! This is my first time in a barefoot shoe so it has taken a few times to get used to the feel of the shoe and the ground. I started out only running 1 km in them and I've easily moved up to 5 km. I have found the arch area of my foot the hardest to get used to, however the more I wear them the more comfortable I feel in them. I have narrow feet and found that there was more space than I liked (or was used to) up near the front of the shoe. When I tighten the laces tight the front of the shoe (below the tongue) buckles, however I've come to not wear them that tight and think that the space is likely there for a reason. The shoe laces are far too long. I have had to cut them because they flop around and hit the ground or my other foot when I run. Overall however I think I'll really enjoy this shoe the more I wear it!

Nice traction and comfortable on the first day.

I am so in love with these. The color is amazing! They are so comfortable, and the perfect running shoe. I highly suggest them.

I first got into "barefoot" running about 5 years ago and my first pair of barefoot running shoes were Merrels. First of all, switching to barefoot running drastically improved my running game and I refuse to go back to traditional running shoes since. My first pair of Merrels were great, super comfortable, no blisters or pinching, but I couldn't use them on trails because I could feel every rock. These are not only just as comfortable but I can take them off road because of the protective plate in the sole. Also, the way they conform to my heal makes them even more comfortable. And they're cute. I already want another pair.

I love these shoes. I'm able to wear them at work because I got them in all black. They're light and comfortable yet feel supportive at the same time. This version of them however has broken down a lot quicker than previous versions.

I have 3 pair. They are the perfect compromise between a minimal shoe and a bit of sole to absorb the gravel I walk on daily. I even bought my child a pair for indoor soccer. On the downside, the top/side consistently cracks and tears where my foot creates a crease. This causes above mentioned gravel to enter my shoes. The soles remain intact and wearable long after the holes make them useless to me. Sidenote: my husband also has 3 pair. His do not crease and crack.

So comfy, not durable though and the fit of these are a little different than the last pair so not super consistent on that. I have to say though I keep coming back for another pair just because I love the way they feel. I more than trail run in them I walk, hike, run and work in these shoes. Maybe why they are wearing out so fast?

very comfortable except causes pronation on left foot
