Ideal shoes for trail running and running

The shoes completely change the game for me. I love the lack of support which makes me walk on the balls of my feet instead of my heels. I highly recommend starting with shorter, lighter runs so you don't cause calf clefts and blisters. However, once you break them, I guarantee you won't want to go back to standard running shoes.

Pros
  • Suitable for walking, running and other high intensity activities
Cons
  • Limited ankle support

Feel natural, look relaxed.

I wear 11.5 mens in vans and 10.5 feet perfect. Listen to other reviews, they are a smaller size. First Impression I'm impressed with the build quality, made from genuine leather! Feeling great on my feet so far, change the light. Feels natural.

Pros
  • The shoes are great - the packaging is superb - NO PLASTIC! To everyone else - PLEASE NOTE!
Cons
  • The video was awful! Your shoes are a church without pews, right? I will never buy your shoes.

I really like it: my review

Leather Merell steam glove 3, great fit with socks, ordered my size with no problems, very comfortable and light, my new favorite shoes

Pros
  • Holds up great after a month, very comfortable
Cons
  • If you want to use them as a grounding shoe, don't order them. The soles are rubber, not leather.

Great fit, great quality

Looks great on soft leather. Fits well. The sock is roomy, wide, as expected. High quality outsole. Overall great price and great shoes. I have 3 other minimalist shoe brands and another Merrell and this is my favorite.

Pros
  • Designed with durability and longevity in mind
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with a split leg

Hard, tight, uncomfortable

I was hoping they would be more like the original Vapor Glove 3 I had a few years ago. The skin is too unforgiving and doesn't flex well at the toe joints. The language is the most annoying part. Even putting it on is annoying because the side edges of the tongue buckle and get stuck. I have to make sure I'm holding my tongue properly so I can put it on every time. Not to mention the laces were too short and I had to replace them immediately to tie them. flex well, they pinch the midfoot when I

Pros
  • Provides excellent shock absorption to reduce stress and fatigue.
Cons
  • Difficult to put on and take off

Very comfortable but very thin sole

Light, very comfortable shoes, beautiful. The sole is quite thin and soft, which is a plus for comfort, but it will not be a good shoe if you are walking or running on gravel or rocky surfaces. Definitely thinner than other Merrill sandals.

Pros
  • Provides ample arch support for increased comfort and reduced fatigue.
Cons
  • Can't be very durable

Wonderfully comfortable shoes

I was able to wear them right out of the box for long periods of time. They are very comfortable, light and have a very flexible sole. The shape of the shoe adapts to the shape of the foot and there are no pressure points. Very happy with the purchase so far.

Pros
  • Generally good shoes. Fits well and is comfortable.
Cons
  • I liked them but they lasted less than a year. The sole is not the same as other vaping gloves. Wears out much faster.

Good sandal in my review.

I love the Vapor Glove shoes. It's one of the few shoes I can wear that doesn't hurt my back when I'm on my feet all day (even when I'm 8 months pregnant). With regular vaping gloves I often get holes on the side. I thought the leather would hold up better. After 3 months there are no more holes but the upper seems to be separating from the sole.

Pros
  • Extremely light and flexible for a comfortable fit
Cons
  • Not enough cushioning

Great minimalist semi-business shoes

They could be wider at the toe but that's a personal anatomical issue lol. I love them, I work in a venue and vibrate with five fingers most of the time, but I can't wear them to parties as they're considered unprofessional. I ordered leather vaping gloves and was not disappointed. If you know what you're getting into when it comes to minimalist shoes, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Pros
  • Good taste.
Cons
  • Terribly big and then it was $25 back... thanks guys🤨

Great shoes BUT. - my new rating

There is a design flaw. On the lapel of the boot there is a decorative stitching along the edge. This seam sits right at the foot of the ankle making the shoe unwearable.

Pros
  • Designed for those who value style and functionality.
Cons
  • Not suitable for people who need extra padding.

I sent them back a few weeks later and bought a slightly different leather version (for a little more money). The new ones fit just as well (which is normal) and are still very stiff after a few weeks of semi-regular wear, but they don't make the popping noise of the first ones. I wanted to love her as much as I love her. VG4 mesh but I don't have and miss them.

Pros
  • Available in elegant navy blue to complement any casual outfit.
Cons
  • May not provide enough support for long-distance runs

I only tried on the shoes and realized that they are too small. I've never tried walking in them. I wanted to send them back to Spain but the shipping cost is well over $100. So I kept them and am trying to sell them. But I will if necessary Ebay you have to tell us customers that we have to pay for the return postage. If I had known that, I would never have ordered these shoes. Shame on you ebay!

Pros
  • Provides a natural range of motion to reduce the risk of injury.
Cons
  • Not recommended for people with knee pain

Great new casual shoes

I literally wear them all day, every day. And I worked in the kitchen, sometimes all day. They're not exactly non-slip, but they do have some effectiveness. The best shoes I've ever worn in my life, hands down. I've had them for about 6 months, I wear them at home, on my mountain bike, in the kitchen, on walks, at concerts, at festivals, on hikes. They call it. They are still in excellent condition all things considered. I want it for the rest of my life

Pros
  • Helps improve overall leg health and posture
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with back pain

Find out your size in my rating.

The product is wonderful. Fits well and looks good. Suitable for both barefoot and socks. Attention: Measure your feet and convert them into centimeters to find the best fit. I usually wear a size 11 but have a narrow foot. So the 10s were perfect as the forefoot is bigger.

Pros
  • Provides traction and grip even on slippery surfaces
Cons
  • May not provide adequate protection from the elements

Great shoes for summer

Great summer shoes. Comfortable for minimalist shoes. I ordered an $8 support from Merrel for a small heel pad. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Made from high quality materials that are built to last
Cons
  • Limited breathability

Great for everyday use

I've had 12 pairs of vaping gloves from the original, this is the best pair. The leather upper is a much-needed upgrade for everyday wear.

Pros
  • Comes in a stylish design that's versatile enough to wear to any occasion.
Cons
  • Easy to paint

Elegant minimals! - my new rating

These (vaping gloves - all styles) are the only shoes I wear. So I wear black leather like this on my feet when I want to look "more formal". By the way, it took me about 5 years to get my feet/calfs back to being in the spirit of minimalism. I'm over 70 so probably anyone can. Wearing them will likely improve your posture/balance/proprioception/fitness significantly if you give them a chance. It was only after wearing them for years and feeling like they were perfect for me that I discovered…

Pros
  • Provides natural movement and flexibility for a more comfortable experience.
Cons
  • May have difficulty breathing in hot weather

Wear very quickly for the price you pay.

I really like these shoes, this is my 3rd pair but I only use them for walking and have been running an average of 30-40 miles a week since late February so I need a new pair in less than 5 months. not really happy that i already had to look for another pair of shoes. Needless to say I will probably look for another brand.

Pros
  • Ideal for running, hiking and other outdoor activities
Cons
  • May not provide enough traction

Favorite every day in my rating.

the first barefoot shoe I tried, my favorite shoe. as comfortable as socks. my casual shoes for 2 years and have survived all seasons, although you can catch a cold in winter if you stand outside for a long time.

Pros
  • I love these shoes. I would definitely buy another pair.
Cons
  • Might need a hack

I love these shoes in my review.

These shoes fit great. The thin sole takes a few days to get used to and then they are more comfortable than any other shoe I have ever worn. My first running shoe was the New Balance Nimbus, these shoes seem to be the same in every way. I love the barefoot feeling and the durable material (Vibram) protects the sole. The overall effect is that you are barefoot and have calluses thick enough to protect your feet from sharp objects. If you are looking for a pair of shoes that give the feeling of…

Pros
  • Helps improve foot strength and balance over time
Cons
  • Not suitable for people who want a lot of support
