Review: BEST MINIMALIST SHOES I’VE EVER OWNED!✨ - Hands down BEST minimalist shoes I’ve ever owned in my life! (For context, I was in the Marine Infantry for five years, and have done high intensity forms of fitness, so I’m experienced in the difference between effective and ineffective footwear). The current arena I’m using these in is Danza Azteca (a traditional dance of Indigenous Mexico) a dance style of prolonged, hours long dance sessions featuring rapid, explosive movements, and these puppies PERFORMED! I also use them for basic weightlifting where they feel absolutely spectacular. FAVORITE THINGS 1. Toe Box: perfect amount of room for my toesies without them feeling like they’re sliding around. 2. True Flat: the drop is quite minimal and your connection to the ground and its nuances is really gratifying. 3. Weight: they’re lightweight as he** and you feel truly barefoot. 4. Sock form: there’s no pesky tongue flopping to one side or the other, just a stitched sock entry that holds to the ankle wonderfully. 5. Laces: very sturdy and not floppy. 6. Aesthetic: the black ones are very slick looking, modern styling without being distracting or cringe 7. Overall fit: mine were correctly sized at 10, didn’t have to go larger or smaller. They hit the foot really nicely without being constricting at all. If you’re on the fence, try them! You won’t regret it!
Review: Love these shoes! - Love these shoes. They fit my feet well and are very comfortable. I think they fit true to size as well. I love this iteration of the Vapor glove shoes because they no longer rip at the seams. This material is very durable. The only issue I’ve had is part of the sole starting to come unglued eventually. But they’ve lasted way longer than any previous version of the vapor glove has for me. If I could have this version of the shoe forever I would be extremely satisfied. They feel almost like I’m not even wearing shoes most of the time, they are so comfortable. I would not hesitate to buy more of these. I actually have two extra pairs now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable, well-fitting, quality running shoe. Worn as a daily walker.
*by A***R on October 18, 2023*

Just found out about this type of shoe recently, and was excited to try them, as I've always preferred walking barefoot when possible. These shoes are about half the price (~$47usd at time of purchase) of other similar brands, and I was pleased with the quality for that price. Of course, being a thinner shoe, this would naturally reduce the manufacturing cost, however, it's clear that Merrell doesn't cut corners with the product they deliver. I've been wearing the shoes for about 2 weeks off and on, and they are holding up well so far. I will update my review at about the 6 month mark.
