Customer Reviews Merrell Vapor Glove 6

I hear so many great things about this shoe, unfortunately it is not the shoe for my problem feet.

Definitely not the color in picture..but I sort of like the color.

I've worn out 6 pairs of Vapor Glove 3 and finally had to switch to a newer model. The 6 is slightly more bulky but still light and comfortable. The sole has much more grip than the 3's, which is nice. BUT - and they only come in very light or dark colors. After the first muddy run in my Oyster pair, I threw them in the wash and lining came apart and the ankle padding washed out. Now they are useless. Not even close to the build quality of older style :(

Not for anyone with pronation. Too bad, really nice looking shoe, with great sole. Sadly my foot prontates a little, which results in the edge of the really thick sole digging into my arch. Very uncomfortable. If the sole extended up higher on the medial surface, this would not occur. For that it is 3 stars, but for quality and looks it is a 5 star.

Love the comfy lightweight fit and mauve color. My only complaint, and it's a big one, is the vibram sole makes loud chirping sounds on most floors, excepting carpet. The sound it makes is like the warning when one needs to replace the fire alarm battery, but louder and somewhat startling. This is my third pair of the barefoot brand, but the only one that chirps.

Very comfortable but I wouldn't wear them on a trail that is at all rocky. Thin soles but grippy.

Toe box is much narrower than my old pair. Fairly comfortable though. Not sure how well the uppers will stand up to wear and tear. Fabric looks like it will snag on almost anything. Will say more once I can wear them more often. Still boot season here.

These are very narrow. They did not work for my feet and I had to return them.

Since New Balance has discontinued my favorite minimus shoe, I hoped the Vapor would fill the bill. First, the color is markedly different from online. I took the time to compare my phone photo and desktop - the color is much darker in person. Secondly, if you pronate - do NOT buy these. My foot rolled inward and there is no support. Thirdly, they squeak. Trying to remember why I gave two starsah, yes. If you don't mind a color difference and you don't have high arches, they're likely fine for you. If you don't mind squeaks, too.

I have discovered that these shoes cannot be worn without socks or they get smelly. They don't breath sufficiently to be a barefoot shoe and I am disappointed.

Shoes run really small. I ordered my normal shoe size but returned it for a half size larger and it still didn't feel quite right. I wasn't sure how the shoe would fit when I wore them but after a day my toes were pushed against the front of the shoe. They will not return your shoes after wearing them so I'm stuck with the shoes rotting in the closet.

This is my fourth pair or Vapors in about 8 years. Normally they are a 5 but within a week of just wearing them only to the gym, the sole is pulling away from the show fabric. I'm so disappointed because they're my go-to gym shoe. Hopefully the next version will address this issue.

I was so hopeful that these would replace my vapor glove 3s, but the toe box is too narrow and prevents my pinky toe from splaying. The padding around the ankle is extraneous and makes the shoe look puffy. Also there is a weird mound/lump in the middle of the foot just in from the arch. Please bring back the foot shape design from the VG 2s and 3s.

No where! They are small & the right shoe is smaller than the left. Calling to return as defective. Not sized properly.

Super tight in comparison to my last pair which I had for 3 years and LOVED.
