PETRI'S PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Merrell's Vapor Glove fits like a glove, not only because of its name, but really! This is not about any compression, but about a natural extension of your feet. Being and doing Vapors on your feet resembles barefoot activity as much as possible.

The Vapor Glove 6 is therefore a genuine barefoot shoe by all measures, also thanks to the thinness and flexibility of the sole. The grip is also excellent. On the scale, pure barefoot shoe - hybrid model - minimalist shoe (thick-soled barefoot shoe) I count Vapor into the "pure barefoot shoe" category.

The Vapor may not be as beautiful a shoe as Belenka's Trailwalker (though the Leather version of the Vapor is already starting to look pretty cool), but it's so good that so what - and also much cheaper than, say, the Trailwalker. The perfect shoe for those whom the Vapor is suitable for its features!

Suitability for barefoot beginners

I don't recommend the Vapor Glove 6 as the first and only barefoot shoes if you want to immediately walk more and even faster with your first barefoot shoes. For a very calm walk, you can use shoes or even in the gym, but not hard heel strikes, not in a hurry and on asphalt! Harder walking/running with thin barefoot shoes requires different technique and strength and endurance on asphalt and they only come with time. Also, if you buy thick-soled barefoot shoes (minimalist shoes) then try Vapors from time to time. Test different models at the beginning and talk to the barefoot shoe experts!

Suitability for experienced barefooters

This shoe is surely already familiar to you, even if you don't have it yet? Vapor Glove 6 have a real barefoot feel! Works like a dream both on the trails and on the city streets - as long as you don't pull an extra long walk on a hard surface with these!
