Customer Reviews Merrell Vapor Glove 2

With knee and hip problems, I have been searching for a lightweight, "zero" sole, wide toe, narrow heel shoe that has at least an acceptable appearance. These fit the bill. The sole is quite thin and I don't think it will be comfortable for rough terrain. But I am enjoying the comfort otherwise.

I love these shoes. The toe space is roomy, something I was looking for. They are also very comfortable.

I'm a little overweight so I struggle with foot pain which has improved since wearing these shoes. I got these to keep at work for my lunch break walks. They took about a week to get used to but now they are my go to for even taking on hikes up in Asheville. The barefoot experience up in the mountains is good for the feet & the soul.

I'm following the MuTu exercise regime post-pregnancy and wanted a minimalist shoe for walking and strength training. This shoe is great!! It somehow provides magical arch support and was comfortable from the start.

I bought these for my 11 year old daughter and she loves them for their light weight, breathable fabric and barefoot feel. I have not been able to convince her to come trail running with me yet, so I can't give a runners review. However, as someone who loves the Merrell Barefoot line of shoes, I'm glad to see my daughter wearing something that lets her foot move the way nature intended. The fabric does get a bit of fuzz/pilling over time, that is the only area where I would like to see some product improvement.

Cool new "barefoot" walking experience, but still feel supported by this shoe.

Absolutely love these shoes. Very light, super comfortable. I wear them barefoot or with socks, depending on the weather. I use them for running and biking. I normally wear size 5, but bought 5.5.

I use these shoes for weightlifting and rowing. They are perfect and completely flat for a great minimalist fit.

Upgraded from original Vapor Glove. These seem to have more cushion, or maybe my old ones are just worn. Those, by the way have stood up to at least monthly washing for about two years. These look like they will too. Love the Zero diff for weight lifting. I wear with no socks for most of the year, and the innards are nice and smooth. True to size and width

These shoes are a very nice update. They were comfortable right out of the box. They are flexible yet sturdy and the green/blue/purple combo is gorgeous! Thank you, Merrell, for these shoes!

These are a great blend of utility and style for barefoot running. The seafoam color is really fun. Also very breathable.

Great Shoe. Amazing grip!

These are the best running shoes ever. Please don't ever stop making them! I buy them a few pairs at a time out of fear that one day I can't get them.

My favorite walking shoe. I'm not a runner, I'm a reasonably healthy woman in my sixties and walk two miles every day on a gravel road. This is my third pair of Merrell minimals. Comfortable, light, feel really great on my feet. The bottoms don't get the gravel stuck in the grooves, which is a real plus. Two notes: get a half size larger than your normal shoe size. And I had to return a pair because there was a hard place on the inside of the heel that rubbed (defect). Zappos is of course great about returns and the second pair is terrific. Also love the colors.

These shoes are amazing. This is the second pair for me and I will definitely keep on buying this shoe. They are great for walking/running on the beach. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.

Love these shoes. Comfy for my wide feet. Too soft for hiking but great every day shoe

These have to be the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn!

Love these shoes! These are the first pair of minimal shoes I've tried and while it felt really different at first after gradually increasing the time I wore them, I now find them very comfortable. I typically wear a size 11 shoe but wore a size 12 in my running shoes. However, these shoes are supposed to fit more snugly so I ordered an 11 and they fit perfectly.

These minimalist shoes are feet heaven. Super light & comfortable straight out of the box. I needed some summer sneakers, and these feel like wearing socks. Perfect for long walks and short runs. Wore them all day, and my feet feel fine. I usually wear 5, but ordered 5.5 for a little extra room as my feet sometimes swell in summer. These shoes are smaller than marked and I'm glad I sized up.

Love these shoes.. I am a runner and do cross fit training. The main benefit I find is that you feel very grounded in these shoes... Thus balance is far better.. Also very lightweight.. Let's the foot do what the foot does...!

Got these to replace an old pair of New Balance Minimus, since the new model isn't cut the same & now is uncomfortable for me. I'm a solid size 10 shoe, am totally flat-footed and really really love the barefoot feel. These Merrell's are even MORE flexible than my old sneakers and I love them! I returned the size 10s for a 9.5 instead. Plenty of wiggle room for my toes, lovely color and very comfy!

Love my new Vapor Glove 2. It is very comfortable to wear around the house, but not ideal for long distance walking or hiking. I got the black since I am not a fan of loud colors. I have flat feet so I had to use Dr. Schol arch support. Worked just fine.

Cute shoes, but the half sizes are more like whole sizes and they run large. I usually wear an 7.5 or 8. Ordered 7 and a 7.5 to compare. My toes butt up against the end of the 7s and there's far too much gap in the 7.5s. Shame they can't make their sizes go up in smaller increments.

I love to run but I find that most shoes restrict my feet. I have a wide foot so I wanted something that didn't have a lot of structure or stiffness. The last pair of running shoes I really enjoyed were the new balance minimums 10. I didn't really care for the way the newest version of those looked, so, after reading the reviews on this shoe I decided to try them out. The vapor glove 2 is a very minimal shoe. If you want a shoe with a cushioned bottom, these are not it. I personally love this shoe, it is light, it breathes, and it feels like I am running barefoot. I recommend this shoe to anyone that wants a more natural earthy feel, but doesn't want toe shoes.

I like the weightlessness of the shoe. I use them for Bodypump and they seem alright. I would have liked more traction. They are true to size of you don't wear socks. Otherwise they were tight on the sides and top of the foot and since I wear socks I ordered a 1/2 size up.
