Merrell Men's Vapor Glove 6 Sneaker

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.

Very comfortable with a slight sole hugging characteristic, thin with plenty of feel and despite comments on durability - the construction is absolutely solid and the sole longevity is also down to the activities undertaken whilst wearing. If you mainly wear on soft trails or fine stony pathways (like the tread pattern is designed for), they will last much longer than tarmac walking I would say. Well rounded barefoot shoes, not quite as wide as other options but excellent nonetheless. Olive colour also looks great.

As a barefoot disciple these are one of the best I've had. A really grippy sole on most surfaces. Good stretch and some protection. Only thing which is a bit of a downside is that they are like a one way sieve with sand filling quickly and then nothing comes out.

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.

These minimalist running shoes are exceptionally comfortable, lightweight, flexible, and feel great for minimalist running. However, the soles are a significant letdown. They wear out very quickly, which makes them less practical for long-term use. I've purchased two pairs so far, both on sale, as I wouldn't consider them worth the full price due to the poor sole durability. I've even attempted to patch the worn-out areas with an bicycle inner tube repair kit to extend their lifespan. If the manufacturers improved the sole durability, these would easily become my go-to minimalist running shoes. Until then, I can only recommend them at a discounted price for those willing to compromise on longevity for exceptional comfort.

Really like these, fit is great, size was right, and for my size and weight got a lot more use than I expected (6months)... but id say price vs durability is a little mutch.

They are great shoes and very comfortable but the soles have worn through in just four months of what I’d describe as light use walking on pavements. 3-5k steps per day on average. Tarmac, paving and grass. Urban use, walking no running. I weigh 100kg. I guess if you are slight of build you might get more out of a pair, but for the price I expect better wear. I have shoes put through the same that are still going strong after a few years.

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

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.

Uwielbiam te buty, chodzenie w nich to sama przyjemność chyba że komuś przeszkadza czucie każdego kamyka pod stopą 😉

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