Best Shoes for Sore & Unhappy Feet
My first pair of Vapor Glove 6 and they are so perfect, I came back for another pair.
I've had sore feet for decades due to ill-fitting rigid shoes until I took a Happy Feet Class that clarified what a foot needs to remain healthy and painless. Going barefoot is the healthiest for your feet but we all need a little layer between our feet and all things outdoors. My first purchase was a barefoot Vapor Glove 4 that allowed my feet to walk heel to toe with no pain or restrictions. I loved them for how they helped me. I had to retire them due to age and condition and ordered the Vapor Glove 6. They've had a few changes over all those years. I just love the extra padding in the heel and Tongue, the laces are a different material that secure perfectly and the sole rubber still has the same traction. Plus, the shoe material is attractive in solid black, and my feet continue to be happy!

Great minimalist sneaker
Very comfortable minimalist sneaker with a thin but strong rubber sole. Definitely a barefoot feel with a wide toe box and very lightweight.

My second pair, still love them!
I almost wore through the sole of my previous pair after 6+ years of street running. This time I sized up half a size which made them even more comfortable.

Fit like a Glove
Perfect shoe for my strength training class. I used to wear my running shoes & it was recommended that I not train in them but switch to a minimalist shoe. I feel more connected to the floor. I ordered 7.5 (I wear 7) to have more room for my toes & thicker socks. Very happy with my purchase :-)

Not for wide feet or med to high density feet
The quality seemed great. Was indeed zero drop too. I did not keep them so I can’t speak for longevity. My feet were still a bit squished in them. Looking at a wide shoe barefoot company specifically. But these are wider than Vivos.
