Vapor Glove 7 Running Shoe

Had the 4 and the 6, both great minimalistic shoes, this one feels stiffer, smaller and have a 'synthetic' feeling to it...

They need to reevaluate and go back to the Vapor Glove 6 design. I have five pairs and they are much more durable than the Glove 7. Materials on the 6 held up much better. Glue separates on the Glove 7, and the soles wear out much faster. The glove 6 also hugged the foot much better.

I bought these barely a month ago. Already serious tread ware and crack. I've only 140 miles on them casual running on park track. I love the fit of Vapor Gloves, but I got more miles out of my VG6 yet same problem. They don't last! I cannot afford to buy every other month. I'm done with Merell products. Not as good as they use to be 15-20 years ago.

I needed a shoe with more structure for travel and bought your FloatPro which is perfect, love it.

Sleek, lightweight, cool and casual barefoot sneaker's.

I’ve been a strong vaporglove customer for 7+ years. Have run 60+ mile weeks + basketball in them. Never had a knee sprain. Wore these for 2 weeks with low intensity, and randomly ended up with a serious mcl sprain after a normal movement. Super disappointed. I’ve worn the merrell vaporglove 3s, and 5s till now, and they’ve had some minor issues—for example, with the 5s the thin heel cuff led to the back of my heals aching after longer runs—but never an issue that inherently led to a major injury with low intensity use. Although these shoes have extra padding behind the heel compared to previous models, which helps with my issue regarding aching in the back of the heel, these shoes are caved inwards putting extra unnecessary pressure on the knees. Super disappointed. I will be taking my business elsewhere. Hope the next model is better.
