Merrell Mens Vapor Glove 4

These are even more minimal than previous barefoot shoes I've owned, which I like. Super comfortable, grippy, look cool. I usually wear a size 11, I got 10.5's, they fit perfect. Highly recommend these if you like barefoot shoes. I've only had these for a day, I'll update my review if they fall apart or something.

Bought these after reading a couple articles on footwear for indoor rowing. While this model wasn't specifically mentioned the 0 lift and flat bottoms were just what I needed. Keeps my feet flat and does the trick. I've got a Hydrow, but all of them are pretty much the same as to how your feet work. I don't plan on wearing these outdoors, but I've walked around in the house with them. They're light, flexible, and comfortable. I wear a 13-14, depending on the athletic shoe, and the size was just right. I'm not a no socks kind of person but they wore fine without as well as using my thick Thorlo socks. The toe box is a little wide looking, but doesn't wear/feel that way to me. I could probably get an extra pair for yard work and they'd work well. Would be a good boat shoe, too. Won't catch me running in them, though. I need a little more support and cushion. Good buy.

I wear a size 42 in European sizing and I have a very narrow foot. The 8.5 mens shoe fit exactly right. there is enough space in it I could use a thin arch support but I am enjoying the barely there feel too much to ruin it. I am not a runner, so I can't speak to its durability for running. But it is holding up well for my activities. Please note the one star rating for support is because this shoe has no support, but I did not expect it to have any support. It's a barefoot shoe. This is the thinnest shoe I've ever owned. Merrell outdid themselves in creating a barefoot shoe. I wear it hiking shopping, walking, gardening, doing chores. It has just enough protection that I can walk outside in them but still feel everything under my feet. I particularly like the stretchy laces, they never strangle my feet. I love this shoe. It's almost like it's not there. So thin and light. It fits perfectly. If you don't have tough feet don't wear it on gravel.

Good shoe, extremely grippy when climbing, only issue is the smell. You will need to soak them in water/scent products often if you intend to wear them in any social capacity. Besides that they’re pretty good

I am a size 8 wide (actual foot size) and usually size up to a 9 for my running shoes (Road- Asics Nimbus). I got these to replace a totally worn out pair of New Balance Minimus. These Merrell Vapor 4 shoes looked really, really, really wide in the product pictures and I didn't want them to look like "clown shoes" on me! In any case, I took the risk and ordered them in 9D. The shoes looked fine. The 2-D pictures do make them look wider than they actually are. Width was pleasantly snug but not tight. They did seem a little long when I first put them on, but after 12 hours of wear, I wouldn't change the size and the length is fine. If you have a normal 'svelte' foot then you could likely order to actual foot size with no issue! One thing of note is that these shoes are even quieter than my worn-in Minimus shoes, so give folks fair warning if you are moving up behind them!! I am happy to be back in Merrell shoes! p.s. they were about $20 cheaper on Amazon compared to other online outlets, and about $50 cheaper than the Minimus at my local shoe shops. I think a belly slide is in order!!

*Shoe Size* I had a pair of vapor glove 2 before these and the Vapor glove 4 seems to fit the same. I wear a 10.5 or 11 depending on the shoe brand. 10.5 fits nice for me. There is a little wiggle room in the toe section, but the shoe is stable. I prefer wiggle room if the shoe is stable, so this is a plus for me. *Info for beginner minimalist shoe wearers* These shoes can be good for people who don't like arch supports or most shoes in general, but they can be uncomfortable for people who are not used to them. I only feel comfortable in these when I use my feet like hands to grip the floor. Without much arch support the arch of your foot can only absorb the impact of your walk if you grip the floor. There is a slight arch on shoes, but not much compared to other shoes. You need some strength/flexibility to grip the floor. I wore hybrid minimalist shoes with just a little bit more cushion than these before transitioning to these and that helped strengthen my feet to prepare for these. There is some effort involved for me to use these comfortably, but these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn and that makes work bearable. *Long term use review* I haven't used vapor glove 4 long enough to review them long term, but I do recommend having a second pair around to test after maybe a year or 2 max. I wore my vapor glove 2 for 4 years and I hurt my feet cause they were not working properly any more. Once I put the 4's on I could tell how bad my other pair had become, because I could grip the floor again. Once you can no longer grip the floor, you need to get a new pair or you can hurt your feet with minimalist shoes. *Unique benefits* While comfort is my favorite aspect of these shoes, they also allow me to turn or stop much easier, because I have more control in general over where I move when I grip the floor with my feet.

Si las fabricaran con membrana para el agua serian las mejores para ir al trabajo, correr, pasear...

Ben een fan van barefoot schoenen, de vibram, de Merrell Trail Glove & de wat meer casual glove. Ik zocht alleen nog schoenen voor de crossfit. Deze vielen tegen helaas. Ze zien er super uit maar zitten bij mij gewoon niet lekker, een maat groter genomen maar nog te smal. Omdat ik genoeg vergelijkingsmateriaal heb weet ik dat dit niet mijn schoen is.

Perfecto y rapido

I'm coming into this shoe after five years of wearing the vivobarefoot stealth barefoot shoes. And to be honest, these are not as nice. They seem less well built and are less comfortable, having a much tighter fit and not being as wide around the, well, the wide part of the foot. Having said all that, these are fantastic for their price, being half the price of the latest offerings from vivobarefoot, especially ordering here in Australia. This is especially important at the moment (damn you, 2020) as money is tight. They're still comfortable enough and nice and flexible, giving them a good barefoot feel which I assume can only get better as they wear in more. My biggest concern is longevity as the top (and especially the laces of all things, which are very elastic for those too lazy to do/undo them) don't appear to be made of that durable a material, looking plastic. But only time will tell on that aspect.
