NOT and improvement on the vapor glove 5. TERRIBLE
I loved my vapor glove 5, but these are nothing like them. They are bulkier, thicker, and less flexible. The first time I wore them, I got a huge blister. The second time, my foot bled. This is because the shoes have a thick, inflexible sole that wraps around the toe, so they form a sharp crease along the inside that does not conform to your feet. The third and final time I wore them, my foot hurt so badly afterwards that I had to stop running and go to the doctor. Needless to say, I want my old vapor gloves (and my money) back.

Comfortable but too tight
Narrow and a little too snug. Pretty color. Not easy to slip into.

Best Shoes for Sore & Unhappy Feet
My first pair of Vapor Glove 6 and they are so perfect, I came back for another pair.
I've had sore feet for decades due to ill-fitting rigid shoes until I took a Happy Feet Class that clarified what a foot needs to remain healthy and painless. Going barefoot is the healthiest for your feet but we all need a little layer between our feet and all things outdoors. My first purchase was a barefoot Vapor Glove 4 that allowed my feet to walk heel to toe with no pain or restrictions. I loved them for how they helped me. I had to retire them due to age and condition and ordered the Vapor Glove 6. They've had a few changes over all those years. I just love the extra padding in the heel and Tongue, the laces are a different material that secure perfectly and the sole rubber still has the same traction. Plus, the shoe material is attractive in solid black, and my feet continue to be happy!

My second pair, still love them!
I almost wore through the sole of my previous pair after 6+ years of street running. This time I sized up half a size which made them even more comfortable.

Not for wide feet or med to high density feet
The quality seemed great. Was indeed zero drop too. I did not keep them so I can’t speak for longevity. My feet were still a bit squished in them. Looking at a wide shoe barefoot company specifically. But these are wider than Vivos.

Fantastic shoe!
At the risk of sounding dramatic, these shoes have changed my life. I am 66 years old, and have gone barefoot my whole life whenever I could. I have always hated wearing shoes. Until these, the vapor glove 6. No more foot pain, I can't even tell I'm wearing shoes! Thank you thank you thank you!!
