Merrell trail glove

My feet have become confused with all of the back and forth with different styles in shoes.

"Make up your mind. Are you going to commit to the barefoot movement or what?!" Is what they've been screaming at me since I've been running my my five fingers and than wearing chaco sandals the rest of the time.

The merrrell trail gloves recently hit the market and offer the same barefoot feel as the vibram fivefingers just without the separate toe slots. The shoe has a very wide toe box to allow your toes to splice.

I plan on using the Merrell trail glove as my full-time shoe to help maintain proper foot strength while I am not in my VFF's.

So far so good!

How it all began

I have been working in the outdoor industry for the past several years and have a closet...make that a garage full of high end gear. Lifes obligations have made it difficult to get outside like I used to and use all the gear mentioned above. I wasnt mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, ETC like i was in the past...All my gear was just sitting there collecting dust! When the highly acclaimed VFF's hit the market I got a pair to add to said collection of gear. It came to a point that I was almost self concious about having so much un-attended gear. I feared that a serious runner would come to the store and ask about the shoes and I would have zero feeback for their 'sole' purpose... I didnt want to be that 'd-bag' that had everything but didnt use it. After recently losing 30+ lbs I strapped them on and began going to the local high school track...one lap around the track lead to a full 26.2 miles (eventually) I am NOT that d-bag....now!
