Merrell Wrapt Hybrid Sneaker Basalt (Women's)

Finding the right balance between a "barefoot" feel and "rugged" protection is the holy grail of minimalist hiking. The Merrell Wrapt sneaker is Merrell’s answer to that challenge; a hybrid trail shoe that delivers the ground connection you crave with the durability needed for actual dirt.

Why It's the Best "Transitional" Barefoot Shoe

If you’re looking for a zero-drop shoe with grip, the Wrapt sneaker is a fan favorite. Built on the famous Merrell Barefoot 2 construction, it is specifically engineered to keep your foot in its natural, neutral position. This encourages a more organic gait while providing a modern twist on the traditional minimalist fit. Because the Wrapt sneaker features a softer and lighter internal EVA construction, it offers a "forgiving" barefoot experience. It’s perfect for those who want a minimalist feel but still need protection from sharp rocks and gravel.

• Zero-Drop Geometry: With a 0mm drop, your heel and forefoot remain level, promoting better posture and natural foot mechanics.
• Anatomic Wide Toe Box: Give your toes the room they need to splay and grip naturally, which is essential for balance on uneven terrain.
• Mountain-Grade Quantum Grip™: Don't let the "barefoot" label fool you. This durable rubber outsole enables total confidence in extreme trail environments.
