Merrell Ascend Glove Gore-Tex wins Gold in the Barefoot Shoe category in Men’s Running Awards 2013!

”The whole look & feel of the shoe gave me the reassurance that it was going to be tough and up to the game of long trail runs. The toe box was wide and deep enough to prevent injury to the toes. the 6mm thick sole was impressive; I ran a 20-mile race in them on a disused railway line and the clinker and sharp stones caused no issues.”

”Excellent running shoes. They fit nicely and are light, but have plenty of protection. Ideal for off-road running with the extra support it gives.’
