Merrell Trail Glove 7 A/C Junior Trail Running Shoes

The Trail Glove 7 A/C are designed for little adventurers who love the outdoors. The mini-me version of Merrell's adult minimalist shoe is perfect for those who love to hit the trails.

Mesh Upper

Keeping feet to an optimum temperature, and ensuring they remain comfortable throughout the duration of their trail running adventures, the Trail Glove 7 A/C utilises a mesh upper. This construction allows air to flow freely through the shoes, keeping feet fresh during active play. The soft, seamless lining prevents irritation or chafing from occurring, especially during excessive and intense movement, and has moisture-wicking properties to prevent the build-up of sweat and moisture inside the shoes. With anti-stink properties, the lining will work to reduce unwanted odours ensuring feet feel fresher for longer. The shoes feature an alternative strap closure across the midfoot, which makes it easy to put on and take off the shoes and adjust the fit. This, in combination with stretch laces, secures the foot and prevents slipping when traversing trails.

EVA Midsole

Enhancing in-shoe comfort and providing a soft, cushioned base for small feet to land on, the Trail Glove 7 A/C have an EVA foam through the midsole. This bouncy midsole has shock-absorbing properties to reduce the risks of injury and discomfort, as well as, encourages energy return adding a bit more power to each step. The shoes have a zero drop from heel to toe, to facilitate a natural connection to the ground, providing a similar sensation to walking barefoot. This helps children remain steady on their feet, which in turn improves agility, and helps them develop a more natural gait.

Non-Marking Outsole

For superior traction across a range of surfaces, these junior shoes utilise a non-marking outsole. This durable outsole will improve grip on wet and dry surfaces, to reduce the risks of slipping or falling when adventuring the constantly changing trails. Additionally, the outsole is non-marking to reduce damage to the ground below and provide them with a great option for wearing indoors.
