Customer Reviews Merrell Vapor Glove 3

These shoes are snug and comfortable.

Super lightweight and breathable footwear. I live in SW Florida where it's very warm most of the year. I usually were sandals or nothing on my feet. The Vapor Glove 3 is the closest thing to being barefoot with the benefit of offering protection to your feet and being able to wear them almost anywhere. I've owned earlier versions of the Vapor Glove and will buy them again.

Size and fit are accurate. I always struggle with narrow toes width, this worked really well. Wearing all day feels like I'm activating foot muscles that traditional shoes mute, which I am appreciating tremendously. Only ask would be maybe raise the height of the material on the achilles tendon area, I get sensation its going to slip off. Might just be a completely personal preference. Don't let that little request dissuade you.

I've been wearing the Vapor Glove for my training sessions for a few years and love them! The Glove 3 is the best yet! They give me the barefoot experience I want while providing the floor gripping stability needed in my powerlifting workouts. Highly recommend!

awesome shoes definitely run very long. I'm always a 10, however, in this case I had to return and get a 9 and 1/2.

These are exactly what I have been looking for to replace my Vibram Five Fingers. Super thin sole, very wide toe box. I love them for running and cross fit training. Will pick up a second pair soon.

This is a review for people who have flat feet. Having flat feet, it is extremely difficult for me to find shoes that I can wear for more than and hour or two at a time. Growing up I was always told to wear shoes with a high arches and lots of support and cushioning.. WRONG! Put me in an athletic shoe with high arch supports, lace them up tight and I will be in unbearable pain within an hour or two. The Vapor Glove is a minimalist shoe that fits like a moccasin. They have no arch support and very little structure. It's almost like going around barefoot with just enough padding to keep you from injuring your feet. If you have flat feet or just want a shoe that lets you feel connected to the ground you must give these shoes a try.

Wonderful light-weight "barefoot" feel.

I tried this and the 4 and went with the 4 because I actually liked the narrower toe box. That being said, this is an awesome shoe. I would try both and go with whichever is more comfortable. The style of the 4 is also better though.

Fits perfectly. I wear them every day at work

Great shoe. Fits a touch large.

I first ordered this shoe in a size 10 because it was replacing an old size 10 Slant Glove Bracken I purchased about 10 to 12 years ago. They were too big so I contacted Zappos for advice on this new style like I should have done in the first place. I told them I have a wide foot (D width), take a 9 to 10 shoe depending on the shoe itself. They recommended I buy the size 9. I was a little skeptical but the shoes fit well. The length and width room in the toe is great and the side material and laces stretch and adapt to my wide foot. I waited to write a review until after using these at the gym. I am as impressed with the new Vapor Glove 3 as I was with my older pair. I use these for workouts at home and the gym. The soles provide outstanding grip, the material breaths around my feet, the shoes do not slip around on my foot, and there's enough sole cushion to provide comfort while walking, biking & jogging. Also they are extremely light. I'm in my early 70's and I'm attempting to delay knee surgery as long as possible with PT and other workouts after a lifetime working on concrete. I recommend contacting the Zappos rep and talk over any questions regarding sizing. I highly recommend the Vapor Glove for the gym and home workouts. I do not run so I can't address using them for more outdoor punishing activities.

These shoes are awesome. The perfect successor to my old Vapor Glove 2 shoes. They fit me perfectly, and my first two runs were amazing. The molten lava red even made me feel faster!
