Review on Merrell Vapor Glove EU 43 Men's Shoes and Athletic by Chris Hodges

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I finally got them in my size, buy 1/2 size bigger than you usually wear in other shoes.

I love these shoes. I think this is my fifth pair in this leather and fabric style. Cloth glasses last an average of 6-8 months if worn daily. This is my first pair of leathers so I'll see if the area around the outboard just behind the toe box stays intact without tearing or coming off the sole. Every other pair of vape gloves I've had has cracked on the outside behind the toe box. The sole always wears out too quickly. Every pair I have has holes in the sole just below the midsection behind the toes. All I do is walk in it. I don't walk anywhere except to eat. I wear them to work or just do all sorts of things. I treat them like my old tennis shoes. Use them as everyday shoes. I love them and will continue to buy them until they stop making them. I really hope they come up with a more durable outsole and reinforced sidewalls to increase durability.jUpdate: The leather upper is great. 1st pr Merrels that the side did not break through. But the soles are short-lived. I only walk in these shoes. The center of the pad behind the toes always wears out after 6-8 months. Last week a hole formed in the sole of the right shoe and the left one became paper thin. I really like these shoes, but the lifespan of the shoes is so short because the sole wears out so quickly. This should be an automatic price drop due to the lack of durability of the sole. This is definitely a 5 star shoe if the sole lasts longer and the availability wouldn't be random. But since I can't maintain a PR for more than 6-8 months, shoes over $100 between spring and fall aren't worth wearing.

Pros
  • Ideal for people suffering from leg or joint pain
Cons
  • Can be uncomfortable for a long period of time
