These are harder on my toes than my previous UNAVAILABLE VAPOR Glove (8?) J135384 which carried me through several years of teaching on my feet - These have a strange feeling of sliding up to front on hills and "hollow" footbed, I tried different sizes. Not as comfortable: I bought inner liners which would have helped but made the toe box too tight, and I re-laced them avoiding the Lowest lace loops. I really miss my perfect J135384 -- any chance getting them again?
I recently purchased the vapor 7 shoe and I love it. I’ve been looking for a shoe that is like a barefoot shoe that has a bigger toe box and is made out of fabric material light weight not like leather or vinyl and this shoe is just the best shoe I’ve had in years so I purchased two more pairs of them. It’s really hard to find a shoe nowadays that is comfortable. I love the bottom of the shoe. I love the way the shoe fits. It’s easy to put on. It’s easy to tie.
Great to feel the floor in the gym. Feet feel strong and supported.
I recently started strength training.These light weight zero drop shoes have a roomy toe box that keeps you firmly grounded and balanced as you exercise. I have much less ankle and foot discomfort. It’s a true barefoot feel. Spouse has them and likes them, too. Highly recommend.
I really like that the colour is black and no extra bright colours added. They are well designed and feel like they are well made too. I like that the sole is Vibram. I have purchased Merrell before and despite wearing them in all environments, they last better than many others. I would recommend these.
I just purchased these because I could no longer find the vapor glove 6, which I have 5 pairs of, in my size. The vapor glove 7 has less than a barefoot feel than the 6 had. The only good thing about the 7 is I won’t need to buy anymore more trail gloves!
My daughter says she loves these shoes. She wears them everyday. She looks adorable in them but that's just a mother. I have worn Merrells for years and so does she. Thanks for these great shoes.
I had to return these as were too narrow at the midfoot. Weird issue for a " barefoot style wide toe box shoe.
Too tight, too bulky, fabric is too thick. Not the same barefoot feel as before unfortunately
