A step ahead of the rest

I absolutely love these shoes. I wear them for my HIIT workout every morning and I also do trail runs in them. My last competitive trail run was 9 1/2 miles with 1800 feet of elevation gain. I was the only one out there wearing barefoot shoes. Everyone else thought I was crazy, but they were shaking their heads and disbelief when I finished first. The shoes were phenomenal. Just thick enough to protect my feet from the sharp rocks of the mountain side, but enough ground feel to be able to maintain control on the steep terrain. I’m on my second pair now after I wore completely through the soul on my first pair after two years.

Please fix the sole durability l. Please

Merrell, please hear me. I have been a die hard fan of vapor gloves since versions 3 &4. They are the most comfortable barefoot shoes I've ever worn. It is with a heavy heart i give them 1 stars. While their look and fit has improved every version, the durability of the sole is still terrible. I've wasted probably thousands of dollars on these because the sole lasts about a month AT MOST before wearing holes in the heel. Unfortunately no other barefoot shoes have the same feel, flexibility, grip, and toe space so I keep burning my money. I understand that thin soles wear faster, but vivo barefoot has soles this thin that last months and months longer. PLEASE fix this or I'll have to switch completely to Vivobarefoot. I'm so tired of duct taping, gluing, and patching my shoes with flex seal. Nothing works. Please, fix this. The photos I've attached are flex seal I've applied to try and fix it. Looks like it will wear out within a day and does not work.

The Vapor Glove is my Everyday Footware

The Vapor Glove 6, is an example of the product getting better with each iteration. Love these shoes. Close to the ground; wraps around my foot like a glove and they look a tad funky! Love them.

Vapor Gloves

This will be my 4th pair of Vapor Gloves, and I really enjoy this one a lot. Pretty true to size, maybe runs a little bigger. Merrell has always been quick on shipping, correct on description, and the product matches is exactly what is described as well as shown. The shoes are light, solid tread on bottom and put together well. These are my daily shoes and I will continue to get these shoes as long as they keep making them.

Awesome minimalist shoes

First pair of Merrells, first pair of minimalist shoes, these are awesome! Fits to size, I’m like a 12.5 and they are perfect. The rubber is wearing a bit, but I’m 230 and walk on hard surfaces frequently. Using these daily to strengthen my feet when I’m not exercising

First timer

Never tried one of these shoes before, but I caught them on sale and decided to give them a try. So far I am happy with them. The amount of “feel” under foot is huge compared to regular shoes. Again the muscles on your feet feel more used than with regular shoes. I have pretty wide feet and these have great toe room. I will likely buy another pair when these are done. One thing I’m hoping for is that they will be easier to wash and hopefully they can stay smelling clean. Since I do wear them on road at times i have noticed faster wear than what I was expecting. I am on the bigger side tho.280 lbs. So it’s not all on the shoe.
