They're great. Well built minimalist running shoes. The people that reviewed these and said "flimsy" or "no support" are idiots. Yes they are very thin and flexible. That is the point.

These fit OK, but seem to have no support, especially on the sides. I've been wearing the older style of Vapor Gloves for a few years now, and they have much better support. The newer styles are just too pared down. Frustrated that they have to keep changing the style, but not improving them.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Light, comfortable, feels like you are barefoot. I don't think there is much support in these shoes but if you like feeling the ground rather than a fat sole, this is your shoe. I have a narrow foot.

I've had these shoes for a few years now and have about 4K miles on them. I've ran several triathlons, marathons, an ultra marathon and 100's of country road miles. I love these shoes and will be buying my next pair very soon since I've about ran through the bottoms of this pair!!!!

Nice looking shoe, but very tight on top of the shoe around the opening, you cannot loosen the shoe opening because of the design.

This is my 3rd pair of Vapor Glove shoes. I love them for running on an indoor track .( I have a mid foot strike.) They are as close to no shoes on as you can get. I use them also at the gym for exercise and weight lifting. No wear in time-they are great from the get go!

The shoe was narrow for a minimalist shoe, so my feet (which are on the wide side) felt squeezed. Also, the shoe is stretchy like a water shoe, not like the previous models of Vapor Glove that I'm used to.

I wear them everywhere! They look great and feel great! I usually wear size 8 to 8.5 but I went with a 9 for these and they fit great.

I love how sealed the sole feels to the upper portion

I have had these shoes for years and cannot praise them enough. I've gone through several versions of the Vapor Glove and have loved them all. Merrell has worked out the issues with durability of the upper that the earlier versions had, and this one has lasted me for years through many miles of running. This shoe is the perfect blend of barefoot comfort and protection for your skin. I run in them nearly daily, primarily on roads, gravel or dirt trails, and treadmill. While I wouldn't choose them for a run on rocky trails because of the care they require to avoid stepping on sharp rocks, I have hiked in them on rough trails like that and been comfortable with the lower speed and impact of a hike instead of a run. I have several other Merrell barefoot options from years ago when they made more of them, and I love them all. Somehow the other shoes I've bought from specifically barefoot brands have never been quite as comfortable or fit quite as well as my Merrell barefoot shoes of any model. When I wear through the ones I have now, I will not hesitate to buy another pair.

These are very comfortable! I am on my feet all day in an office working as a chiropractor. These feel like slippers but give me good traction. I will try them outside when it warms up and is dry.

So very comfortable and flexes with your foot. There is plenty of toe box space. I love these shoes.

I have bought 2 pairs of shoes and 3rd pair is on the way. I love these. I personally like to feel the ground when I am walking and these minimal sole shoes are light and allow me to feel the grip on the ground. These are agile and flexible enough for me to stretch my feet when exercising. I can do weights and run and everything. Because the sole is so minimal, your posture improves when doing weights. I highly recommend them.

I purchased these for gym use and just walking around inside and on hard surface. I would not recommend them for rocky surfaces and if you need foot support.

These are excellent if you are looking for the barefoot experience. Fits as expected. There is not much structure or support to these shoes and I particularly like them for driving. I find for lengthy walking I want a bit more padding in the sole and support. Overall excellent if you need a shoe in which you can feel below your feet. You will feel rocks too.

Perfect for sand, sidewalk, and trails. Next best thing to the freedom of waking barefoot. Muddy hills, uneven ground, wet and dry sand, and in- town trekking.... the Vapor Gloves handled it all. They also died very fast after a sudden rain in Sarapiqui.
