Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The trail glove 7 is a great, light, breathable, very comfortable minimalist hiking shoe. The shoe fits well even though i have wide feet. The toe box and mid section are much taller than the version 4 so it fits a bit sloppy.

These sneakers are easy to clean, mostly just rinse/wash them off outside with a water hose or water puddle.

These fit me perfect with athletic wool socks.



Cons

This new iteration is super narrow. The heel is way too shallow. Too much arch support and really stiff sole. Even though toe box is ok is feels like my feet are spilling over the sole on the arch side.

Quality


The addition of more toe and heel protection is welcome, and the over all comfortability is excellent.

The zig-zaggy grip pattern is almost too grippy, when i first put them on walking on carpet felt like i was wearing velcro shoes.


This shoe has improved exponentially after the arch support was removed.

Competitiveness


Think i like these better than my other brand of "barefoot" shoes.


Looks great fits great so comfortable way ahead of the big 3 brands who would have thought merrell is best but they are!


A little more cushion than another popular brand of barefoot shoe.
