I love the Glove line. I find the sizing is consistent with other glove shoes. I love how light and flexible this shoe is. It seems to mold to my foot. It is pretty, too. Great shoe!

Thank you so much for this fantastic review and your feedback on sizing with the Barefoot Glove line. That is great you notice the glove-like feel when wearing these while also noticing how light and flexible they are.

Running.
I love everything Merrell does. I own the Trail, Pace, Power, and Pure gloves, Siren Sport and Palvina and love them all. But the Vapor Glove is like none other. I love the styles, the color choices, the instant comfort. It's like a stretchy breathable sock with a durable outsole. As with all of the barefoot series, I love how there is room for your toes to spread out when running/walking. I really can't say much more than I love these shoes and I plan to buy the green/yellow ones later. Love my blue/orange ones! Also, gotta love the 80$ price point. I just hope they are as long lasting as my older glove models.
You have quite the amazing spread of our shoes! We are so thrilled you find the Vapor Gloves to be like no other and are going to be getting another pair soon. Thank you for the great review.

Casual/Running
I may or may not be addicted to Merrell Barefoot shoes. I think I have 8 pairs!! I started with the Pace Gloves about 2 years ago and quickly accumulated many colors. I have the Dash Glove, Tempo Glove, and Wonder Glove. Now I've got the Vapor Glove and I LOVE these! They just may be my favorite. They ran a little longer than the other barefoot sizes so I went down a half size. I've been using the Pace Glove exclusively to work out, but these may replace them once in a while. They are so light and comfy. I will never go back to "regular" athletic shoes again. The couple times I have in the past few years, my feet were killing me. Just looking at people wearing them at the gym makes my feet hurt. Keep making awesome shoes Merrell!!
It sounds like you may have all most every style we have made! We are so thrilled that you love them and especially your new Vapor Gloves. So, it is safe to say our shoes have transformed you into a true Barefoot fan for life! Thank you so much for the review.

Yep, I love this comfortable shoe, I bought to wear for running but now find I wear them everywhere. So comfortable, no more foot pain for me. Love the lack of arch support, which was quite bothersome and distracting. Feet can grip and splay. I cant say that about many other shoes. Thanks, Merrell!
The search is over! We are so glad these Vapor Gloves are able to make your runs more enjoyable. Thank you so much for your great review.

Amazing! couldn't be a better built shoe! It allows your feet to breathe SO well - that when inside an air-conditioned room, my feet actually get COLD! the upper, was much lighter and thinner than it appeared online - which was preferable. I am so glad that I did NOT receive what I was expecting because the shoe is the most amazing shoe that I ever did wear!! From the moment I slid my foot into this stellar shoe I was hooked and will forever and always be a devoted Merrell customer! I only discovered them after my husband randomly ordered a pair a few weeks ago - not really knowing what he was getting. THe two of us were over-the-top impressed with the intelligent construction of the shoe that is everything we are in search of in a running/ everyday shoe (he ordered the mens barefoot run road glove)(light/breathable upper, thin sole, flexible all-around) ! If you haven't had a pair of barefoot shoes before this shoe is perfect for running, working out, and certainly very comfortable for everyday use walking and running errands - I am in love with it. Note: When it first arrived - i thought it felt a bit flimsy - it weighed nearly nothing in its box! I was worried about how it would hold up - but quite impressed at how durable (and COMFORTABLE!!!!) once I put it on and walked around - this shoe is a perfect glove for your foot !
That is great that you noticed the glove like fit. Thank you so much for the amazing feedback on this Barefoot style. We are so glad you like how lightweight it is but still very durable and well made.
