Vapor Glove 5 Review

[@jeremebonesaw]

I bought a slightly used pair of these. They feel great on my feet. Way better than my new balance minimus. I'm a big fan of vibram 5 fingers. Got them for about $35. Size 9.

[@robertsherrow3627]

Excellent review, appreciate the effort and info!

[@Mote.]

These are my favorite shoes i ever had. I always wanted to design my own shoe without a tongue but with laces and Merrel beat me to it(because I'm not a shoe maker).

[@Mote.]

I love the toe box isn't narrow. The grip seems really good. I like how the grip goes up the front of the shoe too. I haven't done parkour in them i just walk/run. I like the color options look more natural and not vibrant. The shoes are very good looking in my opinion

[@Annie_Lori]

Are they true to size?

[@Mote.]

@@Annie_Lori Yes. With some shoes i wear 10.5 because the narrow toe boxes make me need half a size up. But with the vaporgloves i wear a 10 because the wide toe actually fits my foot.

[@Annie_Lori]

@@Mote. thanks for replying

[@bronek7729]

are they good as my first barefoot shoes for everyday walking, or bapor glove 4 would be better?

[@azaleaallround2966]

thx for reviewing from japan with love. i loved trail grobe 4. it was the best but...

[@TheFishFTW]

Which model is the most durable for indoor sports such as badminton? I do a lot of fast explosive lateral lunges and many barefoot shoes will roll around my foot. Which model would you recommend for maximum durability and snug fit that doesnt spin around my foot... :3

[@GrownandHealthy]

Too be honest... My stickiest most maneuverable shoes are the Vibram KSO EVO's...but durability is INOV-8 Bare XF.

[@TheFishFTW]

@@GrownandHealthy Thanks man! Just ordered the INOV-8 Bare XF. Hopefully it will withstand badminton! And hopefully it will be wide enough for my feet. :3

[@olivrrrr]

Decided to order these to replace two of my Vivobarefoot Primus lite 3 due to soles detaching around the toe crease before their 100days trial period.

[@karimgreen8732]

Just curious - do you have a preference? I just ordered some Primus Lites and have yet to try Merrell’s.

[@olivrrrr]

@karimgreen8732 I tried Merrell, but they just didn't match my foot width. Too narrow, making my food spill out the side. I ended up going back to Vivo PL3, and haven't had any issue with quality so far.

[@Brian-yx5vo]

How is the sizing? True to size? Thanks

[@michaelalbrecht3395]

I’m looking for a barefoot road running shoes are the vapor glove 3 better than the 4? I wasn’t a big fan of the 4

[@sheleg4807]

I noticed you are not wearing socks, just got a pair it supposed to be used without socks?

[@callumfreebairn8082]

best shoe

[@1966lavc]

This works for laminate ? For indoor

[@GrownandHealthy]

Yes, the grip is great for laminate.

[@solbra3458]

How do you avoid bad odors when wearing sneakers without socks? Will you review Vapor Glove 6? Thank you

[@GrownandHealthy]

I definitely haven't avoided that! Five finger socks have helped though.

[@solbra3458]

@@GrownandHealthy and you used to wear vapor glove 5 without socks I thought you used then without socks. Any update with merrel vapor glove 6?

[@GrownandHealthy]

@@solbra3458 No, I just recently used them for a review. I didn't order the 6, yet.

[@solbra3458]

@@GrownandHealthy will u upload the review?

[@Tony21209]

Is the toe box wide? I just bought the xero 360 love them but I think these look way better. But the toe box looks narrow.

What sort of miles do you run. Road and trails

[@glennsak]

Great video review. Your audio could be a few decibels higher, tho

[@Mote.]

It's funny how much i like the Vaporgloves but pretty much 98% of Merrel shoes look like an awful clunky design. They should make more slimmer soled shoes instead of everything being a high heel

[@MrMountain707]

Great shoe. Very comfy. Kinda dorky

[@dylanmc2727]

Clunky shoes are dorkier

[@lexuinosirg5491]

More barefoot it's not possibile 👍
