Customer Reviews Merrell Vapor Glove 2

Merrell! Please bring back the original Pace Glove with the elastic at the back! They were the best shoe I have ever had that prevents knee torque. The Vapor Glove 2 is close, but I'm giving it 4 stars because the fabric doesn't hold up. I'm still wearing my Pace Gloves. They look old, but at least the fabric doesn't have holes. I've worn through two previous pairs of Vapor Gloves. C'mon Merrell. You can do better than that!

Love Merrell's, but this shoe did not work for me as I have fallen arches, completely flat feet. Typically I prefer a shoe with low to no arch, despite having flat feet but this one felt uncomfortable. Like the look, except toe box is very square. Worth a try if going for minimalist.

I love the feel of the footbed, width is good with nice toe room, but just too much volume/height in the toe area for my feet. Trying to decide whether to try a half size smaller. I'm reviewing the 10.5, normally wear 10-11 in athletic shoes.

These shoes are super fun, love the colors. However, if you are looking for ANY kind of support at all, this shoe is not for you. (my opinion) It's comfy, and it's perfect for what I was looking for, I am traveling, and wanted a slip proof shoe for a boat and a little protection while walking on the beach, and in the ocean, but I don't think I can even walk through the airport with these, but that could just be my foot.

I prefer a very minimal shoe for walking and daily use, and this fits the bill. My only complaint is that they wear out really fast. Lots of fraying on the upper within months of purchase.

These seem a little short - first and second toes touch tip of shoe. The width seems fine. I may try these half a size larger because I like the ultra light weight and road feel.

I'm usually between a 9 and 9.5. Bought the 9.5 and the shoe still felt uncomfortably short. These run at least a half size small. Wasn't crazy about the style, so I'm returning them and not getting the larger size.

These are much narrower than other Merrell minimalist shoes I have worn. They are also shorter than I expected. I kept them, but if I hadn't worn them for a run first I would have sent them back for a larger size. There is not enough room in the toe box to allow for foot spread while running.

I owned the shoes two versions prior to this one and this didn't disappoint. You can take the "Glove" to heart.

I love these shoes. I have 5 pairs in different color ways. 3 of them were purchased through Zappos and they have great service, totally hassle free! My only complaint with them is that the fabric body mysteriously gets holes that shouldn't be there but the shoes still hold together.

Great shoe for indoor walking. I wish there was a little more padding in the sole for long distance walking on cement and uneven terrain, but overall, my feet do really well in these shoes. Barefoot shoes with no arch support have been the answer for my plantar fasciitis issues.

I found these shoes to be exactly as described, both by the manufacturer as well as many reviews. I am not a barefoot runner, but am trying to get into it. I've only been walking in these shoes, over a variety of urban and trail terrain. They are very comfortable in that I basically feel that I am barefoot, in terms of how my foot connects with the ground, yet the sole protects the bottom of my feet perfectly. I've chosen to wear them with socks, and they are very comfortable. No socks is comfortable too, but sweaty.

This shoe has more arch support then the Vapor Glove 2, which is what I wanted. However the toe is not roomy and it seems to be about a half size too short. Alas, they are going back.

These are the best minimalist shoes I've found (after trying on 5 different other pairs) but these aren't without fault. 1. The inside seam structure scraped skin off the top of both of my feet so I had to add moleskin on the inside. Works fine now 2. The left shoe dug into the back of my ankle and took off skin while I was running. A pair of socks didn't help much. After 10 miles in these shoes, I still have to wear padding on the left back of ankle to preventing scraping. Even after all this, I would get it again.

I absolutely adore the fit and look of these shoes. HOWEVER: the durability is terrible. The sides fray like crazy after only a few months of use. I've bought two pairs of these now and both have done this.

I wanted to love these shoes. I LOVE the style. But I got severe pain in my feet when I wore them for more than an hour at a time. Maybe a problem with my feet?

Very thin sole, returning because I don't think it will provide enough support! Bummer, because I love the colors and the low profile.

I LOVE the soles and the minimalist feel. However, the rest of the shoe is not high quality - the mesh pulls and becomes fuzzy like velcro, the tag unravels, and the fabric on the inner sole wears through super fast ...

I have a pair of the originals. This style was very dissappointing. The sole was extremely thin. Very little arch support unlike the original. Returning and hope to find another style.

I wanted to love these shoes, but they don't allow my toes to spread naturally (a must for "barefoot" shoes!), and I don't have particularly wide feet. I even went up a size hoping that would help, but I ended up with a too-long shoe that still didn't allow my toes to spread naturally. Harrumph.

Love those shoes since all other barefoot shoes seem to be the ones with single toes. I Have three pairs (all bought this spring/ summer)and use them on the trail almost every day to walk the dog for a couple of hours. They are great for your feet, neither my knee nor my hip hurt when I use them which has been an issue before... BUT they don't last, I can use them for about 3 months before the start coming apart where the plastic sole connects to the fabric of the upper shoe. I think there is a lot of stress on that point and I have wide feet which probably doesn't help. Unfortunately they are a bit expensive for shoes that basically have to be replaced after 3 months.

I thought since I love the Bare Access Arc 4 I would like this shoe as well. I just don't find it nearly as comfortable. The intention for the shoe is to walk and workout at the gym. I don't run outdoors. I realize it's supposed to feel barefoot, but barefoot at least indoors feels better than wearing this shoe.

I've worn these shoes twice since I purchased them and I cannot make up my mind whether or not I like them. They aren't very supportive, as a regular sneaker would be, but they are comfortable. The footbed seems a little sparse, so I can feel the surface I'm walking on, and that just feels a little strange. I think I need to get used to them.

I like this shoe very much for its minimalist qualities but the heel comes up much too high and I will be getting blisters from them. I do wear them all day when dog grooming though and my feet feel great...just not my heels. Probably won't buy them again because of this.
