Awesome

Amazing barefoot shoe! Ordered regular size and they fit great but would probably size up a 1/2 size as suggested if I was wearing a thicker sock

Vapor Glove 6, an excellent barefoot shoe

As someone who has had several episodes of plantar fasciitis throughout decades, two years ago I began a journey to strengthen my feet and move away from custom made orthotics. I reached a point where I was ready for barefoot shoes, and after doing research, was thrilled to find a barefoot shoe made by Merrell that had received great reviews in several barefoot shoe review websites. Thrilled because I have bought many Merrell shoes in the past - sandals, jungle mocs, and winter boots--and I've been very happy with the price and quality.The Vapor Glove 6 have also left me very pleased and with happy, pain-free feet. There's no cushioning so you will definitely feel the ground. The toe box is roomy. The shoes move the way my feet do. I would suggest going a size up. I ordered my usual size and they fit small. (returning them was easy and free). The shoe laces are also much too long, though.

9 mile hike right out of the box

Right out of the box I hiked 9 miles each day in Sequoia National park and Yosemite. Great shoes.

Great shoes!

My feet really like these shoes. I’m able to run and walk without pain. Merrell- I love you, but DO NOT discontinue these shoes. I hate when you don that.

Definitely Barefoot

Shoe is definitely a barefoot shoe. I run in Five Fingers a lot, so I am used to barefoot shoes. I was actually looking for something with just a little bit of cushion like my old zero-rise Merrells, and hoping this might be it, but no. This shoe has no cushion. Even though it was not what I was looking for, I'm still giving it five stars, because as a barefoot shoe, it is well made, the sole of the shoe has great traction, and it fits well. I need a wide toe box, and this one is good for my very squared-off toes. I

Check marks for all qualities desired!

The color is a nice cross between raspberry and blush pink. Size 11 is my go to and these fit perfectly! I barely feel them on my feet except where the ties are and they approximate a water sock. Quality appears excellent and style is unique...everything o was looking for in a minimalist running shoe!

The only shoes I’ll wear from now on.

Most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. They helped alleviate my hip and back pain.

True barefoot shoes for multi-surfaces

I needed a shoe for walking my dog from home to a large park with a creek - so something that could handle pavement, concrete, crushed gravel, and walking in sometimes knee-deep water - without getting pebbles stuck between the shoes & my foot (like my Chacos) or being too uncomfortable on man-made surfaces (like my Vibrams). These are pretty good. A few quibbles - no back loop to help get on when wet or to carry on a biner, a bit sloggy when walking in the water, and not the most breathable for wet feet. But those are minor compared to the comfortable & natural feel. I recommend to those already used to barefoot shoes, as you will feel everything you step on. I ordered up a half-size as recommended by others, and the fit is perfect.
