I do think that the road dash shown here is just an unfortunate color, with different color combinations it might look much better.

I was thinking of getting the Trail Glove but since I mostly run on roads I might wait to get these.

Did anybody notice the lacing?  Has Merrell given up on the Omni-Fit lacing?  On the Trail Glove, it is ok, but doesn’t really seem to do much out of the ordinary. Pete, you said that the cutaway under the lateral arch of the Trail Glove has been an issue for you.  I have had an a problem with that too.  I can feel the edge of the shoe and it causes soreness that I have not experienced with any other shoe or from running barefoot.  Hopefully the full thickness along the sole of the Road Glove will be the remedy.

It’s like when your brains interpret a 3D illusion wrong, seeing the background as the foreground and vice versa.
