Merrell vapor glove 4 review.

Not for the faint of heart the zero drop unpadded trail runner is incredibly flexible and featherlight. The added tongue in the shoe gives better comfort and fit. I actually had a pair of the original merrell barefoot sneakers purchased many years ago and those were actually my all time favorites sadly it was time to retire them after many years of use and washes in the machine. Tried the vapor glove 3 and the vapor glove 4.

It is stylish and the brand has focused on making the shoe appealing to the eye. It falls just slightly behind the vibram fivefingers series though we suspect if merrell separated the toes there would be some serious competition for vibram. They do seem more durable but the fit is just wrong. The merrell vapor glove 3 is a true barefoot style trail shoe with an ultra minimalist design.

Merrell trail glove 4 has more protection. Our verdict the merrell vapor glove 4 our editors choice winner is a minimalist trainer delivered in a package with superior ground feel and barefoot accuracy on roads and trails. Essentially this means the materials and technologies of the shoe are made without the involvement of animals or animal derived products. One of the most prominent features of the merrell vapor glove 4 3d is its vegan friendly build.

With no midsole cushioning and a short stack height the vapor glove puts your foot right against the ground for maximum responsiveness. Ended up keeping the 3. These 4 s feel amazingly narrower than the predecessor. I ordered a pair and after a couple weeks use i can t recommend them.

That said sometimes we really don t want separate toes as this can make them feel more vulnerable. The shoe works great with short and ling both running distances.
