Merrell Men's Vapor Glove 6 Sneaker

These are superb barefoot trainers. very much like a foot glove, with lots of feel. I am usually a 7, but can get away with smaller if the toebox is very wide (vivos), but these 7s fit snug in width and length. Very grippy. Excelllent for barefoot outdoor walks/ runs and good for weights, callisthenics and martial arts (bag work). I like that they have real laces so you can do them up tight when doing high impact jumping and stopping. Only had them one day, so I shall see how resilient they are to high impact workouts.

I went through about 10 pairs of Vapor glove 4’s. These are my second pair of Vapor glove 6’s. I have had many brands of barefoot style shoes over the years, including vivobarefoot, freet, xero, sole runner, vibrams etc and Vapor gloves have been my favourite. The downside is the durability, I was burning through the Vapor 4’s in under three months. The 6’s are no more durable than the 4’s and that is an issue considering the price but I have found durability with other brands to be even worse. The most recent purchases a made were xero prio’s, freet flex and vibe. I couldn’t possibly recommend the prio’s, I can’t understand why they are so highly regarded, the sole is extremely stiff in comparison to the Vapor’s, there may be room for the toes to wiggle but the sole doesn’t move along with them so the sole can effectively slap of the ground and the toes/feet follow, they don’t work in unison, they feel very clunky and the sole started to split from the upper after minimal use. The Vapor’s wrap around my feet and feel snug but don’t restrict the movement of my foot, more of a sock like fit so my feet don’t bounce around inside them causing friction and lack of direct feel of the ground like it get with other ‘barefoot’ shoes. Of course everyone is different, but for me these are the best.

I've bought maybe 5 pairs of these shoes but in different colors. they are my go-to daily wear for comfort. they have a comfortably wide toe box for me and very minimal profile which i like for that barefoot responsive feel. Value for money im of mixed opinion about and is the main reason ive given four stars instead of five. i also continually wear through the soles quite quickly and so the durability is lacking in that way but then again im always wearing them. The same has happened for me with all my vivos, so it just seems to be a tradeoff to get a barefoot sole. the upside is when these are priced around £50-60, these are a cheaper option than Vivos for the same issue . Also, as a side note my most recent pairs the laces have felt different recently in that they seemed shorter and less material to tie. i also like the understated colours.

You feel the floor surfaces under your feet as if you are barefoot.

These are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Not in terms of spongy, walking on a bouncy castle cushioning - there's none of that - this is a true barefoot shoe, but in terms of how it fits your foot, it's like wearing some thick socks or a comfy pair of slippers. I got the black ones, and they're not the prettiest shoes in town, but I have run in them and worn them for lots of walking, and they seem like they'll last. The grip is great, they're super light and flexible. Tempted to buy in a few other colours too.

Merrell vapor gloves have always been great shoes. I absolutely love them and have stuck with them through the iterations - this is probably my 8th pair now! They're comfortable and great for the odd trail run. The only thing I've noticed is they tend to split in the same place, around the ball of my foot. The seam tends to tear away from the upper part of the shoe. This happens consistently after 150-200 miles' worth of trails. I do have wide feet so appreciate the large toe box

I have owned many pairs of Merrell running shoes over the years and have always found them durable and reliable. Unfortunately, this pair has been very disappointing. I purchased them in mid-May and have worn them only about five times. The longest use was one walk up Ben Lomond; otherwise they have had very limited wear. By the end of June, however, the sole on one of the shoes had already worn through. This is not what I would expect from Merrell shoes, especially after such a short period and such light use. It appears to be either a manufacturing fault or a problem with the sole material. As this review seems to be the only way I can contact the seller, I would be grateful if you could please respond and advise how this can be resolved. I would expect a replacement, repair, or refund.

Super comfy and really grippy for a first pair of barefoot shoes. Unfortunately after only a month of use doing 10-15k steps a day the soles nearly flat! Really disappointed

Very comfortable shoes. Good traction. Amazon ships size 43 instead of 42.5

Excellent... actually the best so far and I have Vivo Barefoot shoes and Vibram Five Fingers too ... Nothing is as good as this one at least for me. The fit is literally the best plus for running it's amazing too, as I used the runner loop. And it just made my barefoot running and training much more enjoyable.

Awesome barefoot shoe. I started wearing it a few weeks ago, and now I can't wear anything else. My foot loves these shoes. My foot gets to stretch and feel the ground. The sole is thin but very good quality, and with a nice grip. The upper is very good quality, and very breathable. I wear them outside and to the gym too. The fit is good. I'm a 45 in these and a 45 in Nikes too. In other shoes I'm usually a 44. I tried the 44 in these and it was too small. My feet are around 28.5cm long.

Muy buenos para el gimnasio y entrenamientos me han ayudado a mejorar mi pisada

It’s an amazingly snug and flexible shoe . If you want to feel almost like there’s no layer between your feet and the ground . This is it
