Don't Like The Changes For This Version

They've attached the tongue on one side, weird. Didn't like the fit compared to previous versions. Returned the shoe. Going to find something else. Too bad, cuz I really liked their old stuff.

The Best Trail Glove Yet!

They’ve definitely looked at reviews for their past renditions of the trail glove and have come up with their best one yet. They feel good, look good, have a better tread pattern and have their signature arch support for all your forefoot striking needs. Haven’t used them enough to comment on durability but if I was a betting man I’d say they’re gonna be just fine and probably beat out the competition. If you have a more narrow foot and are looking for shoelace tension in the latter half of your foot then these might not be for you as they have a more open toe box. Typically wear a 10 but had to go down a half size. I’ll be ordering more pairs and pray they don’t change the design too much come the trail glove 9. Keep doing what you’re doing Merrell!

Huge Improvement!!

I had just received my trail glove 8s and absolutely love them! I have owned every generation since Trail Glove 4, which were my favorites. After Gen 5, it seemed Merrell scrapped the wider toe box of the Trail Glove which severely reduced comfort; the Gen 6 and 7s were tighter on the sides, not to mention ugly. These return to the wider toe box, improved arch support, and it seems they reinforced the sides to prevent tearing (which was a problem with the gen 4s and 5s). Not to mention they look nicer than the previous two Gens. I'm giving these five stars, however time will tell if they are durable. But for now, I'm satisfied and highly recommend.
