Product description
Ultralight running shoes made of a breathable material
The Vapor Glove 6 from Merrell is a pair of lightweight running shoes for your daily runs or races. The barefoot shoes have a flat design and don’t have a drop. They feature a soft and cushioning EVA midsole that absorbs shocks and relieves your muscles. The barefoot construction means you can wear them without socks.
Made of recycled materials
The breathable upper as well as the laces and insole are made of recycled fibres. Another great feature includes the antimicrobial treatment that will fight off odour-causing bacteria. They will wick moisture away to keep your feet as dry as possible. Completed by a gusseted tongue, the Vapor Glove 6 running shoes from Merrell are very comfortable and will prevent dirt from getting inside.
The advantages at a glance:
- Running shoes for daily training or races

I had this product for 6 weeks or so. I am using it for my 5k loop walk, a mixture of tarmac, grass and beach. This happens 3 times a week. In total, I have walked less than 100 km wearing these.
The good:
Awesome feel, very responsive, like a sock. You are getting a foot massage while walking. It also enforces good posture very well.
The bad
Quality: The sole is practically falling apart. Every day a new piece comes off, and now there is a proper crack, water is sipping through.
The ugly: This shoe is priced 3x against its direct competitors with approximately a 1/10 of their life expectancy.
Overall:
This would be an incredible shoe if it had the appropriate sole material. In its current form it is useless. Sending it back.
