With the vapor glove 4 it looked like merrell might have hit it out of the park.
Merrell vapor glove 4 review.
Essentially this means the materials and technologies of the shoe are made without the involvement of animals or animal derived products.
One of the most prominent features of the merrell vapor glove 4 3d is its vegan friendly build.
The added tongue in the shoe gives better comfort and fit.
Not for the faint of heart the zero drop unpadded trail runner is incredibly flexible and featherlight.
That said sometimes we really don t want separate toes as this can make them feel more vulnerable.
Ended up keeping the 3.
The merrell vapor glove 4 is one of our favorite shoes in this review.
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.
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.
The merrell vapor glove 3 is a true barefoot style trail shoe with an ultra minimalist design.
They do seem more durable but the fit is just wrong.
Tried the vapor glove 3 and the vapor glove 4.
These 4 s feel amazingly narrower than the predecessor.
I ordered a pair and after a couple weeks use i can t recommend them.
The weak points on the upper were reinforced and it was still properly minimal.
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.
With no midsole cushioning and a short stack height the vapor glove puts your foot right against the ground for maximum responsiveness.
Merrell trail glove 4 has more protection.
