Pros

The vapor glove by far has the best build quality out of all. They are really comfy, with lots of ground feel and easy to slip on and off. Upper is a nice material, stretchy but feels durable. Good for outdoor, long driving.

I intend to buy more of these in the future because for some inexplicable reason companies like to discontinue or change a good thing. These remind me a lot of my all-time favorite merrell shoe, the trail glove 3.

This is the best minimalist shoe i've used in the past 5 years. A rarity in our disposable world. Just comes with the territory of barefoot minimalist shoes.

The soles squeak a bit when running over marble or other shiny floors, but this would clear out in a few days. Made of a softer rubber compound, so i have to imagine it isn't going to take very long to wear through.

The grip on the sole is insane and i never feel like i’m going to slip on any kind of surface. Can easily feel the ground and any small stones or nails. Super flexible and lightweight.

Cons

The exterior is dull and lifeless, but that's not the reason for the 2-star rating. Like everything except vibram sole peeling off with chewing gum? Definitely not suitable for everyday wear outside. And lastly they offer practical zero protection.

These are possibly the best shoes i’ve ever owned and in my opinion the premier barefoot shoe as they don’t look silly like some others.

I need to but the knock offs lasted just a handful of months before developing damage and were never this comfortable or good looking.

The rubber on these has lasted me six months and no visible wear whereas the knock offs were gone completely in six months.

Price

For 65 dollars on sale i am very happy with the purchase and will likely get a few more pairs.

This my third paid of merrell barefoot shoes.

Shipping

They are hard to come by in physical stores.

Packaging/appearance

Easy to pack and very light weight.

The seller was backcountry and i could tell the shoes had been worn before as there were pebbles in the tread and the laces had... Read More

O they look sick- i got the "boulder" ones, and they're actually more of a purple color; a pleasant surprise.

Competitiveness

These are my second pair of barefoot shoes; the first ones were from another name-brand and i love them as well, so i can compare.

5 for the past 5 years across 2 different brands, and this shoe fits exactly the same as the other ones.

These shoes are about half the price (~$47usd at time of purchase) of other similar brands, and i was pleased with the quality ... Read More
