Customer Reviews Merrell Vapor Glove 2

For people like me where no support is the best kind, these are perfect. When I do balance excercises in the gym, previously I had to take my shoes off. These are the only ones I’ve ever found that work as good as barefoot. These shoes are very pretty and very light weight. Other reviews said they ran small -they don’t really. They might feel small because the rubber tip is stiff and unyielding. Again, these are for people who don’t need any kind of correction with the way they walk. If you do need correction, keep looking.

I am in love with these shoes! They are extremely lightweight and comfortable. They really “hug” your foot. Little to no cushion, but that’s by design.

I tried these in a size 7 and 6.5. I wear a size 7 in regular running shoes. The 6.5 fit better. The bottoms and sides felt great and comfortable, but when I walked around, the top bit, where the laces meet the toe box, into foot. So there are going back. I also tried the Vapor Glove 3's which fixed the top part discomfort, but had other issues.

I am constantly in my Vibram Fivefingers but occasionally have the need for a regular shoe. These give me the barefoot feel that the Fivefingers give me, and they are great for a winter version of a barefoot shoe.

LOVE this shoe. Super comfortable right out of the box. I wore them for 2 days straight. No rubbing or breaking in period. SUPER light and the next best thing to going barefoot!

This was exactly the minimal shoe I was looking for except for the toe box. It was huge on my size 6.5/37 foot. My foot is generally an average volume, medium wide, but this shoe just flopped around my toes.

This is my 3rd pair. The glue gives out before the stitchinh but I'm also very hard on these. I use them for the gym so I can feel my feet without actually being in bare feet. I wear them while ryding my Can Am Spyder so I can fel the foot controls. I have Multiple Sclerosis coupled with neuropathy in both feet. These shoes make the sensory input better.

Best minimalist shoes. I can move so naturally in them and now shoes with too much cushion feel like they take much more energy to walk and increase fatigue. Walked miles and miles in these all over the world and while all the little bumps in the ground are felt somehow at the end of the day my feet are never sore when using these compared to shoes like Nike Frees that are also supposed to be flexible/minimal. Fit is true to size, ordered my normal sneaker size and it worked (1/2 up from dress shoe size).

I purchased these as a gift for my girlfriend, and she has had nothing but positive things to say about the Vapor Glove 2. She loves the style and finds them quite comfortable as she is on her feet a lot at work.

This is my first pair of shoes without support. They are awesome. It feels like you are bare feet. Your legs, hips and back feel great. At first I thought they were a bit big. I'm an 8.5 in shoe and 9 in running shoe. I went with a 9 for this shoe and wear a thin pair of socks. I've only had them for 3 days and wish I could wear them to work. It's the first time I've had a pair of shoes I don't want to take off. They feel part of me. It's a bit weird but true. I bought the purple greenish blue one, it compliments many attires. The best part Zappos matched an on line price from another store and I saved $. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Wow! A win in comfort and style! These are not your regular sneakers but they were exactly what I was looking for to walk around in. I love the way I can feel the ground. Not for trail hiking but perfect to just throw on and colors are amazing! The bonus was they made my size 10 feet look smaller!

My family loves these barefoot shoes! This is the 3rd pair for us and we all couldn't be happier. Comfortable, great look and super flexible. A true barefoot experience with a great price!

Love these shoes! I'm a solid size 9 and they fit perfectly. Wonderful barefoot shoe that is flat and very flexible. Plenty of room for my toes too.

was suffering from achilles pain and just general foot pain....after a couple weeks with my new vapor glove 2 my pain has subsided. I ordered based on reviews and glad i did.Also ordered my sister a pair It feels great when you are all around pleased with a purchase and we are quite pleased.

Love these shoes. Perfect for everyday wear. I wear them for work on my feet all day. Great for long hikes. Cute too.

Bought these as a replacement after finally wearing out my previous pair (glove1). They are comfortable even for someone with somewhat wide feet, nice updated look and I love this color. Great for trail running!

I love how these shoes wrap my heel and arch, not constricting though, and my toes are sooo free! I've had them after about 6 weeks just walking around. Today I ran three miles in them, I could really feel minor changes in form that impacted my foot strike. Really happy and will be buying more, however I'm not sure if I can run my half marathon distances in them

Love these! I did have to return the first pair I received so to an inner seal scraping my feet. Second pair was just fine. I do weight training in these and all other gym activity. Colors are great and fit true to size.

First purchase of 0 differential/minimal shoe and now want to wear only this. Crown Blue/9 found 9 to be a bit long and 8.5 a bit short for typical sizing. Personal preference -went with 9 so not to hit up against end of shoe. Toe box very comfortable in width if not a bit wide for medium width foot. No actual support built into shoe but oddly found it supportive- I believe since it works with your natural shape of foot/arch instead of the shoe working against you. Spend most of my time barefoot in house/yard so I did not have a break-in time but can see how this shoe might take someone time to adjust if not typically barefoot or have previously worn a minimalist shoe. Tore meniscus last year and feel this shoe option does provide a more natural foot fall with knee/leg alignment so I have seen reduction of pain at night after removing this shoe compared to others. Currently not running but using shoe for long distance walking/ hiking and casual wear doing errands. Can you enjoy a shoe? I really do enjoy this one. Yes, it is bright which will be a personal preference but if anything it adds some color to all the grey/ black running tights/leggings out there. I would definitely recommend but as others have said be prepared to adjust if you typically are not barefoot and prefer padded structured footwear. You will feel the ground and your feet will need time to adjust. And, as always great customer service in regard to ordering next size down for comparison and then returning it. Like others, will ended up ordering more of this style.

These shoes cured my plantar fascitis issues in a week. I had been running with that plantar soreness for a few months and was rehabbing it without any improvement. I decided to try a change in shoes and I am so thrilled I did. The shoe is very comfortable. I ordered a half-size larger than my typical shoe (ordered 7, typically wear 6.5) and I feel I could have even gone up to a 7.5. I have been running on these shoes for just over a week and my feet have NO PAIN and my legs post-run seem to recover more quickly. I will be marathon training later this year, so can speak to durability over time but so far I absolutely love these shoes and will order them again without hesitation.

I love these shoes. It's like walking on air. They are very lightweight and you forget you are wearing them. They'll probably be super on hot days. Also I love Zappos. Fantastic service. Couldn't be better.

I usually order my online shoes from one line.com but because I wanted these particular shoes in this particular color they did not have them available in my size. So I tried Zappos and was extremely pleased . The price was competitive the shipping was free and expedient and I knew I had free returns if I needed. I definitely will use them for again . It's nice to know that there are other quality, efficient online shoe companies out there. FYI I removed the laces and used the new Hickies as shoe fasteners. They are a lot easier to slip on your shoes without having to tie them. If you're interested go to Hickeys.com.

Fantastic shoes would highly recommend. I probably could of gone a half size down. But still fit well.

Great shoes, but they will take getting use to if you aren't familiar with barefoot styles. The top box is roomy and allows for comfy toe splay. Very low profile and can't wait to take them on my upcoming trip!
