Written by Outdoor Gearzine Editorial Department

MERRELL is an American outdoor brand loved in 160 countries around the world .

New barefoot collections MOVE GLOVE and MOVE GLOVE SUEDE are now available.

Since its launch in 2011, MERRELL has continued to pursue barefoot shoes, making updates and promoting the meaningful training benefits that barefoot shoes provide.

Vibram Megagrip outsole for stable grip

MOVE GLOVE is a minimalist trainer with a unique outsole structure (a training shoe with materials and functionality stripped down to the bare essentials, giving a feeling similar to walking barefoot). It provides excellent grip in training environments that involve quick movements such as running and jumping, and maximizes the feeling of being barefoot between the soles of the feet and the ground, improving the physical abilities of the wearer

To maximize the connection between the sole of the foot and the ground in barefoot shoes, the sole must be as thin as possible, but improving support for the foot is also a challenge. To address this issue, PORON VIVE cushioning , is built into the midsole, further improving functionality.

The Vibram Megagrip designed to cover the entire foot, provides powerful grip that sticks to the ground during quick, precise movements.

On the other hand, the suede MOVE GLOVE SUEDE was designed with the aim of "bringing the benefits of training to your private life," and while utilizing the functionality of outdoor gear, it has a sneaker-like design that makes it easy to wear around town. It is an item that allows you to feel the benefits of training even during your daily commute to work or school.

The MOVE GLOVE SUEDE series is made of suede material that can be worn for walking around town

While retaining outdoor elements, it is designed for town use
