Merrell was founded in 1981 in Michigan – among others by custom bootmaker Randy Merrell – and is one of the best-known names in hiking and trail shoes. Around 2010, the brand was the market leader in barefoot and minimalist trail running and has remained so at heart: The barefoot line combines typical Merrell outdoor expertise with a thin, flexible sole, a wide toe box, and zero drop. The characteristic grippy Vibram® outsole provides traction on trails, rocks, and wet surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Merrell Barefoot Shoes

How do Merrell barefoot shoes fit? This depends on the model. Measure your foot length while standing for both feet and compare it with the size chart on the respective product page – there we provide fit information for each model.

What is the difference between Trail Glove and Vapor Glove? The Vapor Glove is the most minimalist and thinnest Merrell – for maximum ground feel. The Trail Glove is slightly more robust and designed for trail use, but remains a true barefoot shoe with a flexible sole.

Which Merrell is waterproof? The Wrapt Mid WP has a waterproof membrane and an ankle-high shaft – ideal for wet paths and hikes. The other models are breathable but not waterproof.
