Customer Reviews Merrell Vapor Glove 3 Luna Leather

They are amazing shoes if your going to wear them barefoot I would go a 1/2 size smaller. I like mine w/ socks so they fit perfect w/ my regular shoe size

I was looking for a minimalist shoe for indoor workouts. These are perfect. The ‘glove’ fits!

This might not be everybody's cup of tea but surely met my expectations of a comfortable shoe with no heel, very light weight, and with acceptable looks. The toe cover could have been a little less pronounced.

Excellent minimal shoe option. Very comfy right out of the box and minimal break in time. Most trail runners I wear a 10.5 and these I am a solid 10. So size accordingly.

The leather upper makes the shoe feel a bit stiff compared to the fabric versions, but i suspect thatll soften up in time. Sole is very thin so you can feel everything, including rocks, but that just means being a bit more mindfull of footing. Overall i love the way they feel and grip they provide. Should be relatively dry in rain/mud too, but i havent tested that yet.

These are the only zero drop shoes I can find that have a wide toe box AND aren't shaped like a banana (who are all these people with banana shaped feet? I just don't get it). The newer vapor glove line has moved more toward catering to the banana foot crowd (my long toes collide with the edge of the toe box as it sharply curves). But the vapor 3 fits wonderfully, and feels great. The downside to these is that the fabric is thin and weak, and quickly wears out along the sides/edges near the sole. Tried to get around this by purchasing their "leather" vapor glove 3 version...but to my surprise, they didn't fit the same way. I needed a half size bigger in the leather version (which wasn't an option). Please Merrell...use the toe box design of the vapor 3 with stronger fabrics going forward for the vapor glove line.

I think these shoes can be worn during cooler weather because of the solid fabric upper. My other minimus are knit material and can let a lot of air in. These shoes are light as a feather. I will probably put in a cushioned liner after some wear.

These are about as close as you can get to wearing slippers outside. There is no cushioning or arch support and there isn't supposed to be any. Sizing was true in my case. My feedback to the manufacturer: consider longer (54") laces for size 11. 45" isn't quite enough.

The style and materials are perfect. Unfortunately this shoe is just too wide for my foot. I wear an 11.5 B in a dress shoe. The toe box of the Vapor is huge. Great if your foot is a D or E width, but this shoe will not fit if you have a narrow foot.

Great shoes, look better than I expected! I have three other pairs of Merrell minimalist shoes all in size 10, so I ordered these in 10. They are at least a half size too big. We'll see how the 9.5 does!

I’m usually a 10.5 in running shoes and barefoot shoes. The 10.5 feels at least one size large on me. Super comfy and stylish though.

Very light and flexible. Fit well. I am returning these as I have a high arch, wanted them for walking and need arch support and a thicker sole. Would not fit my needs, but well constructed and looked great

I think these shoes are really awesome if you’re looking for pure style in a minimalist form. I would have loved to keep a pair, but they have virtually no support which is unfortunate. I love the Trail Glove 4, and I wish they made a cross between the TG4 and the leather and all black look of these shoes. Cool-comfy shoes.. not supportive enough.

Nice shoes until the tongue stiching failed

This shoe looks very nice, however, it feels very narrow. I had to return it because the rubber guard in the front kept pressing down on my big toe every time my foot was bent to walk or flex the foot. The sole is very nice though! I wish I had been able to keep them. Merrell's feel much more higher quality than Vivobarefoot - a brand I've been using for a long time but now has decreased their quality a lot.

I'd worn Merrell barefoot shoes (both road and trail) for years prior to ordering these. I was excited about being able to wear a Merrell barefoot shoe to work, but when the shoes arrived I was disappointed in the fit--they were a half size too small. I usually wear a 12-1/2 in the Merrells, ordered a 13 figuring I'd have plenty of room, and found that my toes hit the end of the toe box. I then ordered the shoe in a 14, but it was too big. I would wish that Merrell would reassess the sizing on this shoe to provide better options for those with big feet like myself. I have since ordered a pair of the Vapor Glove Lunas in mesh instead of leather direct from Merrell in the hope of a better fit (Zappos doesn't carry those yet). Some of the reviews on Merrell indicated those were trending a little large, so my fingers are crossed. I love the shoes, but I need them to fit, please!

I am disappointed with these shoes. They are Merrrell's and I expect great support from this brand, but these shoes have none.

This is a review of Size 11.0 Mens Vapor Glove 3 Leather Luna (Black) I tried to make these work, but the design of the toe is flawed. Coming from Tough Gloves (5 pairs), older Trail Gloves (3), and a lightweight Merrell hiking boot, I had high expectations for this shoe. I wish they had stuck with classic sizing, I wore the same size in every Merrell but I can't get these ones to work. 11's should be slightly smaller than they were made this time around, along with a few other changes. The problem with the shoe is the way that the rubber toe cap comes up over the toes. Unless the shoe is sized perfectly for your foot, the toe cap can either presses up against the end of your toe (if slightly too small), or bends and press under the front of your toenail (if slightly too big). This was obvious within a few minutes of putting two different sized Vapor Glove Luna Leather (10.5 and 11) on for both myself and my roommate. Also if too big, the shoe flexes HARD at the toe cap. The other issue with the rubber toe cap being constructed this way (it is either far too short or too long, meaning it should be lengthened or shortened as a fix) is that it pulls down the upper of the shoe very tightly onto the top of your toes. Feedback: The size 11 should be 3-4mm smaller in length, 1-2mm wider in width, with more room over the toes in the box. Either put the rubber cap at least halfway back over the big toe (covering the toenail), or remove the toecap entirely. Leather would have worked here for the toecap and may not have had this problem. I still love Merrell, but they could do better here. They need a wider selection of casual barefoot shoes, hopefully more are coming soon!

Fit was good....Look is good....but while walking you can feel the ground so much that it hurts the bottom of your feet...as if you are walking barefoot. You can feel every stone or pebble under your feet. Not good.

The shoes fit very large, if you have a narrow foot order a half size smaller. Same inconsistent quality as Merrell is know for. There are better barefoot stye shoes buy those you be happier. They look like clown shoes.

Supposed to be a barefoot shoe. Has some hard bump where an arch support would be. Just can't like Merrell as hard as I try. Ugly ugly shoe... And I am a zero drop shoe gal so I know ugly. A bit short but width is fine. Plenty of room for splay. Hate them. Returned them. Merrell is just not for me.
