Merrell Vapor Glove 4 Review

The merrell vapor glove 3 is a true barefoot style trail shoe with an ultra minimalist design.

Merrell vapor glove 4 review.

Tried the vapor glove 3 and the vapor glove 4. The weak points on the upper were reinforced and it was still properly minimal. Essentially this means the materials and technologies of the shoe are made without the involvement of animals or animal derived products. They do seem more durable but the fit is just wrong.

The merrell vapor glove 4 is one of our favorite shoes in this review. The added tongue in the shoe gives better comfort and fit. One of the most prominent features of the merrell vapor glove 4 3d is its vegan friendly build. With the vapor glove 4 it looked like merrell might have hit it out of the park.

It is stylish and the brand has focused on making the shoe appealing to the eye. The new version of the vapor glove introduces some well thought out changes such as a new midsole pad to add additional protection against debris. Not for the faint of heart the zero drop unpadded trail runner is incredibly flexible and featherlight. Ended up keeping the 3.

That said sometimes we really don t want separate toes as this can make them feel more vulnerable. I actually had a pair of the original merrell barefoot sneakers purchased many years ago and those were actually my all time favorites sadly it was time to retire them after many years of use and washes in the machine. Our verdict the merrell vapor glove 4 our editors choice winner is a minimalist trainer delivered in a package with superior ground feel and barefoot accuracy on roads and trails. Merrell trail glove 4 has more protection.

These 4 s feel amazingly narrower than the predecessor. It falls just slightly behind the vibram fivefingers series though we suspect if merrell separated the toes there would be some serious competition for vibram.
