Review: Best travel spare shoes, disappear in luggage. - My 3rd pair - I prefer these and the 7’s over the new 8 model so got these at a good price preemptively. New ones are more “shoe” like and defeat the purpose. Perfect travel shoe - fits easily in a backpack or carry on, great for a quick run or hotel gym workout on already tight carryon work trips. Actually great for deadlifts and such, zero drop, wide toe box, almost barefoot feeling. With or without socks. Great for vacation, good traction on trails, rocky beaches, or even as water shoes with a little more backbone than speedo slip-ons. Dry fast too and are easy to clean. Good ventilation but prefer to use with socks if using as a sneaker to walk around town/ship. Looks like a sneaker, decent enough to wear around town. Haven’t hand any pushback at restaurants, etc. No arch support, easily fixed with an insert for longer treks/walking. And I’ve come to appreciate the sole extending over the front of the toes for added protection. Otherwise very light shell. Only word of caution, avoid thorny trails, hickory trees or construction zones. Nail or thorn WILL go through like butter. Don’t ask.
Review: Amazing Barefoot Shoes - Literally like a Glove! - The Vapor Glove is an excellent shoe. I bought these for my boyfriend and actually have the same exact pair in women's for myself. We both have had the Vapor Glove 4, 5, and 6. The 4 and 6 are our favorites. They are seriously so comfortable and do actually feel like a glove - and each series gets more and more fine-tuned. Initially, we did have some concerns about the 6 - for example, the groves on the bottom and the fabric being more mesh/holey, but they are incredible. The fabric change to the more mesh style makes them even lighter (which I didn't think was possible), more breathable, and even more flexible. You can wear these shoes all day and almost forget that you have shoes on. They have all the qualities you look for in a barefoot shoe - flexible, wide toe box, zero drop, and they look much better than some other barefoot shoes on the market. Some of the complaints which really aren't negatives, just kind of what it is, are: due to the thinner sole, it can hurt when you step on certain things - it's really only when it is something that sticks up relative to the rest of the area or is pointy/sharp (like a rock/pebble). The grooves can get some of those really small rock/pebbles stuck, but you can get them out super easily. And, with time and use, the soles wear down, but that is expected and unavoidable. The quality, though, is great (Vibram makes the sole) - even with how light, thin, and flexible they are. Plus, as you get more accustomed to the barefoot style, you wear down on them a little less or slower than when you first begin wearing the barefoot style. The comfort is unbelievable, and the light weight is a huge plus, especially when you need to travel. (They technically can fold/bend, but we don't like to do that). We are both coming up on a year with our sixes, and both are in great shape, still going strong. Mine have some wear bur my boyfriend's who literally wears them everyday, are still in excellent shape with minimal wear. I highly recommend and am looking to get me some more... If they are working on a seven, I cant wait to see how these are - but stock up on the 6s while they are available!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Light. Very comfortable.
*by K***N on September 30, 2024*

I'm a PTA and work in a sports based orthopedic outpatient clinic. I'm using these Vapor Glove 6s to Replace my previous shoe, the Vapor Glove 3. Honestly I looked for the 3s again before settling on these shoes. My 3s have lasted years and just now started developing holes in the upper. I was blown away by the longevity. I did go down by half a size, but that's because the 3s I had were a half size big. These 6s fit similarly to the 3s, size for size. The 6s are so light, even compared to the 3s. Aesthetically they are quite similar in shape, and very nice looking for a barefoot runner. Very breathable and very comfortable. No break in time really required. Extremely flexible and a nice, wide toe box. The midfoot does come off a little more snug and padded, but this is a plus for me. You can role the shoe or twist it with ease and it springs back to form with no issue. Vibram soles are always a plus, although these ones seem a bit softer than the 3s, so I have some doubts as to their longevity. With that being said the first 4 or 5 runs (treadmill) have shown no wear or tear, and the grip is phenomenal. You will feel everything underneath you, and don't expect a ton of protection underfoot - but that's not what these are for. Another thing that sticks out is the lacing system on these. Seems a little less robust on visual inspection compared to the 3s, but I haven't had any issues with the 6's system to date and the laces themselves have a nice feel to them and they perform (don't come untied) well while running. I also wouldn't throw these shoes in the washing machine as it seems they might not do well under that sort of agitation. As of this point, I'm quite happy and impressed with this iteration from Merrell. It's a great shoe and it's performing quite well. I paid ~$73 for the shoes. If I can get 400-500 miles, it'll be high value for the money spent, in my opinion. Assuming they hold up appropriately, would absolutely reorder.
