Customer Reviews Merrell Vapor Glove 5

10 years ago I switched to forefoot running to relieve some running related pain and injury, and a year ago I switched from Newtons to these Vapor Gloves. I love these shoes! No frills but still a shoe, so I can get the benefit of running "barefoot" while still wearing toe and sole protection. You can feel gravel and the tread gets a little slippery on wet concrete, but otherwise they are my favorite running shoes ever.

These shoes are comfortable and are a great replacement of an old pair of merrell barefoot shoes I had. Sizing is very small. I typically wear between an 8.5-9 so always buy 9. Had to get 9.5 n these else my toe pushed against front and the piece on big toe pressed down. 9.5 fit well though and they are comfortable

I love these shoes. They are like you are walking on clouds and not even wearing shoes. It is the way you should feel about a pair of shoes. I wear a 5 and they fit me perfectly. I now own 2 pairs and are not a lifetime customer.

The first pair of shoes I found that fit and feel like vibram five fingers! Changed the laces to the elastic no tie laces for more customized fit and have no complaints!

I love being able to feel the ground when I lift. I have been wearing these for about two weeks, and now my regular sneakers feel too cushiony. I wish the shoe didn't feel like plastic, but it's probably good because they dry fast if I step in water (which is usually because I live in So Florida where there are puddles everywhere!). I would definitely get another pair...in navy please! With knit upper!

This is a perfect shoe for river crossings and as a back packing evening shoe.

So comfortable and lightweight Fits like a glove!

Comfortable and true to size. Not great outdoors in rocky areas - youll feel everything.

These shoes are great for minimalist running and working out

These were perfect shoes for my powerlifting competition- stuck well to mat, provided me with just the right amount of support!

Just got mine in this week. These shoes are so comfortable and lightweight. I have wide feet that never find comfort in shoes labeled wide fit or extra wide but these wrapped so well around my hobbit sized feet. 10/10 for anyone looking

Low profile is perfect for stability during HIIT. So light and rounded toe box is perfect for me

They fit excellent. I went with my regular show size and it works. I put them on and started wearing them. There really is no support and that's what I was looking for. I do need to adjust to barefoot shoes and these are a great transition. I still haven't worn them outside in winter so I'll see. So far, I'm very pleased.

They are lightweight and comfortable for walking around in, which is what I was hoping to get from them. I wear a 9.5 in most casual shoes, 10 in athletic / hiking shoes; I typically order a size 10 for all Merrell shoes & the Vapor Glove 5 fits as expected. Just a color note but they're more grey than blue-grey.

Super comfortable from the minute you put it on . Light and easy to wear for a variety of daily activities. The thinness of the sole, and the "barefoot " quality is delightful, but not meant for rocky terrain . Great for my flat wide feet . Would recommend as a good walking around the city or the farmers market - a shoe with style . Purchased my usual Merrill size 6 and 1/2 . Happy with them !

Very comfortable and light. Please order one size up as it fits small

My first barefoot shoes and fallen in love with them

The toe box is roomy and comfortable. The sole is very grippy and makes great contact with the ground. I ordered a 6.5 first which I thought would be a half size up, but they were too short. 7 fits perfectly. Definitely go a full size up for a great fit. I love the aqua colour!

Light weight. Perfect width for comfort and support.

I love these shoes! They are super flexible, very light and comfortable.

Excellent product. Extremely comfortable to wear. Glad I found these.. this is my second pair.

Love them for cross fit and lifting workouts. Lightweight and barefoot feeling.

Loved them so much I purchased a second pair! Very comfortable.

Nice shoe, fits true to size. super-quick delivery

I've been wearing Merrell's barefoot shoes for a few years now and love them! I've tried different brands of barefoot shoes but nothing compares to the comfort and performance I get with these shoes. Definitely loyal to the Vapor Glove collection and highly recommend :)
