Customer Reviews Merrell Vapor Glove 3

One of the most comfortable shoes I've worn. Holding up well so far. Only problem is, I want to wear them every day which makes me want to order extras.

Bought these for my boyfriend. The blue color was super cool and the feel of the shoe was like it was supposed to be. Barefoot feel but with sole protection. I'm gonna get some for myself as well!

I am not a runner, or even a walker really, but I work and run errands just like everyone else and think barefoot shoes are comfortable and make sense to wear (you know... because they're shaped like actual feet while having a zero-drop and a thin sole similar to walking barefoot). The Vapor Glove 3s are very comfortable indeed, and very nice bright color options as well to add a little flare to your day. The only thing I would change is make the Merrell logo much, much, much more discrete - I'm happy to advertise verbally for Merrell, but I am not a fan of labels.

A great show that is light weight and extremely comfortable. I wear them to not only hike in but to workout in.

I ordered these shoes to replace older Merrells of the same size. These were too long in the toes, and had a crease at the inner ankle bend spot when walking. I'll probably try a different shoe for Crossfit. I love this company and brand, so searching for the right model.

My son needed a pair of shoes for parkour, and we decided on these. They run large. My son usually wears a size 13, but the length way too big. He ended up ordering a 12 with extra room to spare. While he has not tried them out for parkour yet, he says they are comfortable, but it's an adjustment to walk an dirt roads as you feel the rocks, etc. The quality is great for a low profile shoe. Merrill has a great reputation for quality & durability.

These shoes are great. They look good and are very comfortable. My feet stay cool no matter how long I have them on. For my needs, I feel like they are a quality product.

I've been wearing the vapor glove's for years now because they're exactly what I want in a minimalist shoe. They're light, fit well, and have sturdy soles, above all, they allow me to feel the ground I'm walking on.

These are exactly what I was hoping they'd be. I wanted a pair of minimal sneakers that were subtle enough that I could wear them to work, to exercise, or on the weekends (chose the black color). With or without socks. I wanted to strengthen the tendons, muscles, and ligaments in my feet and my current shoes were creating weakness. These do the opposite. They literally feel like a glove wrapped around your foot with a grippy rubber bottom.

I have a slightly wide foot and most shoes are a vice for my feet. I also used to have constant knee pain until I started wearing these awesome shoes. The sole is super durable. The top canvas wears over time, but I appreciate the next level breathable quality.

I train in and run road races in Vapor Gloves 10 milers to marathons. I Liked then so much that I bought 2 more pair of Vapor Glove 2s. Now just waiting to wear them out after which I'll purchase a pair (or two) of the Vapor Glove 3 (or 4 by then) Very happy to see the extra reinforcement at the forefoot inside on the Vapor Glove 3 as this is where on the original & VG2s the fabric had a hard time resisting the width of my foot & thin out & break through. If you are still running in the VG2s, applying Shoe goo (inside and out as reinforcement) initially to the uppers at that area you'll effectively do what the VG3s have now. Great update to the Vapor Glove Merrell! Keep up the excellent work.

Sized as expected. These are perfect if you want the barefoot style shoe. Great for running or for weightlifting & the gym. Since there is no cushion, there is nothing to wear out, you can wear these shoes forever. I put over 500 miles on my last pair so it was finally time to upgrade.

I already owned the Vapor Glove 2 and like the color of the 3 even better. The elastic tongue and laces are an improvement. I walk to work daily, and these shoes help me focus on my posture. I chose Merrill because I have narrow feet (compared to the average), and have always been satisfied with the fit.

Vibrant Color And Great Eye Catcher just too big by 1 size. I have already sent back but I will b ordering a different pair of shoes as I have always been impressed with Your products.

One of the only truly wide toe box minimalist shoes out there. I work in these all day on concrete/tile floors and run distance in them afterwards. I disagree with other posts, these hold up like steel! I wear a 10.5 other brands and a 43 Fivefingers and 11 vivobare foot. I am a true 10 in Vapor Glove. I purchased 4 pair as these are better than anything on the market. Have tried to talk shop with Merrell via phone and their sales reps knew nothing about their own product. Trust me, you will love these.

I have been running in Merrell Barefoot shoes for about 7 years. I've had almost every model of the Trail Glove and even the original "Road Glove" (now discontinued). I use these types of barefoot shoes for running exclusively. The Vapor Glove 3 is probably my favorite Merrell barefoot shoe I have ever had. It's extremely minimal- which is great for what it is intending. The shoe is very thin and extremely lightweight. My only word of caution to those considering buying the Vapor Glove 3 is that they do definitely run big. Plan on sizing 1/2 a size down or so. I wear men's size 11 across the board in other models of Merrells and with these I had to go down to 10.5. There is a trend in the "Barefoot" shoe category across manufacturers right now to add more padding/cushion to these minimal shoes and even moving away from true zero-drop in some instances. You have to understand there is a difference between "barefoot shoes" and "zero drop shoes". Barefoot shoes have no extra padding and cushioning. Just a thin rubber sole and the upper. That's it. Few manufactures anymore still offer true "barefoot shoes" like Merrell is doing here. I would be very disappointed if Merrell followed these trends. PLEASE KEEP MAKING BAREFOOT SHOES MERRELL! You guys are about the best out there for minimal and barefoot running footwear IMHO. Thanks.

The quality of the shoes are excellent. Very stylish shoes with a mid foot style walk. May take a bit to get use to if not use to walking with low arch support on shoes.

Another great minimal show by Merrell. Fit is perfect. This shoe is a nice complement to the Trail Gloves.

I got these because I was in need of a new minimal and light shoe. These shoes answered the call and went above my expectations. Great for anything on grass, turf, or indoors. I use these at the gym all the time and use them for recovery movement. I would not suggest running in these or moving with any weight on your back while wearing these tho.

This show is by far my favorite shoe. perfect fit, nice colours and stable grip in the sole. Definitely made running more fun and exciting for me!
