The shoes are so comfortable! I want to wear them every day. I also love the design and find them functional for all kinds of walking.

I prefer zero drop almost barefoot shoes/runners and these are exactly what I wanted. The toe box is nice and roomy so my toes never get jammed or squished. The laces are kind of stretchy so they remain flexible and snug without being constricting. If you walk on a lot of gravel they are very thin soled and may not provide as much cushion as you might be used to, but if you are accustomed to the barefoot style these are a great option. I where them at work, where I have a standing desk and lots of walking around. Will buy these again.

This shoe is perfect, it's very similar in fit to a vibram 5 finger but without the toes, and about the same support (or lack there of) let's be real that's what we all want anyway. Good quality, great looking shoe. I own a lot of barefoot style shoes, and for the price. These are my favorite option. No complaints.

Love these!! I bought these for working out in the gym. The barefoot sole is great for working out inside! I switch to my moabs when leaving to deal with the gravel here in Kuwait. Definitely will buy again!!

Great, light weight shoes for low key hiking or camp shoes. Too light for steep hikes or loose gravel, wouldnt recommend for extended urban wear.

When I first tried them on I was unsure of how they would handle my feet. They felt a little strange, almost like a moccasin. My toes had freedom. I wore them for my third grade's farm trip, camping at a local CSA for three days with a lot of walking. My feet were happy. I am still wearing them almost daily. I will gladly purchase another pair.
Thanks for offering these great shoes.

I've been running in Merrell barefoot shoes for several years now and love them so much. This is my first pair of Vapor Glove shoes and I am very happy with them.
My foot is narrow (though my toes now splay more from barefoot shoes) and this shoe is perfect because it tightens enough to grip my mid foot/heel but there is enough room in the toe box. Speaking of toe box, that's also perfect, not too wide, not too small.
I sized up a 1/2 size in these because my previous pair (Pace Glove) was fitting a bit snug. (Again, due to splay your feet may get "bigger" over time.)
You will feel rocks through these shoes, but if the majority of your running path is smooth, this won't be an issue and I've gotten used to the odd rock.
Great product!

I love these shoes. They fit well, are comfortable, and look great. I wear them at work and my feet don't get tired. And I love how lightweight they are.

I really love the vapor glove shoe. I'm not super crazy about the latest colors and patterns for the 4, but the shoe serves me well when I play pickleball and that is really what counts.

Barefoot shoes were recommended for me by neurologist for balance problems. They help me a lot in being able to actually feel where I am walking. The Vapor Glove 4 is a true fit, well made in gorgeous colors, and as comfortable as ever. Thank you!

I love this shoe. This is my 2nd pair. I want to get it in every color. The best thing is that I feel more connected to the ground. The shoe bends easily with my foot. It feels like a dance slipper. If you're between sizes, I would go down; that way your foot can feel the connection with the sidewalk, stairs, trail, whatever. I used to have a tripping problem and I don't with these shoes.

Just tried them on and yes,..these are liberating to wear,..almost feels like you don't have shoes on your feet. Can't wait to try them out for my first walk this Spring,...I will definitely peruse the many other selections available,..

I especially love that there is plenty of room in the toe box. For me the Barefoot brand helps me to feel the ground under my feet which helps me keep my balance and not fall. The colors on this pair are fun.

I wanted shoes that helped me to 'feel the road' these shoes do exactly that. They are beautiful--colors, shape, fit, and give me a barefoot feel. I am attempting to become more of a mid-foot rather than heel striker, and the feel of the road reminds me to do this.

The sizing has changed for the Merrell Vapor Glove. I have had 3 of these and the first iteration of this Barefoot shoe was the best.(J46036 made in China) I can still wear it though pretty frayed from all the wear. The 2nd one I bought broke though the heel after only a year or two.(J50502 made in Vietnam). I wore a size 9 for all except this one ... the Merrell Vapor Glove 4. (had to return it). This one is also made in Vietnam and seems thinner than even the Vapor 3.

I love these shoes. Very light weight. Not as much support as I thought there would be, but overall a nice show for running.

I have a pair of vapor gloves that were probably the first or second version and they lasted me about five or six years wearing them at least a couple times a week. They were so extremely comfortable that I decided to get a new pair of vapor gloves version 4. The vapor glove for that I bought are extremely comfortable and feel like slippers but the only problem is the vibram sole is wearing out so fast. After 6 mos of wearing once or twice a week for a mile or two walk and the ball of the foot on the sole is nearly bald. I love the grippy rubber sole and I'd like it better than the original version which is very disappointed how fast they're wearing out.

I've been running since 2012, and I always used high support running shoes to try and stabilize my knee and ankles. With every shoe I have tried I still got shin splints, knee pain and my ankles still were prone to rolling. Never again. I've had these shoes a little over 2 months and I am so satisfied. As a collegiate athlete I use these shoes daily on trails, grass, sidewalk, and track and I have had no problems on any surface. The only thing I dislike is that the shoes don't come in wide. Unfortunately I have wide feet and the toe box is just a little too slim for me but other than that 10/10.
