Tried the vapor glove 3 and the vapor glove 4.
Merrell vapor glove 4 review.
The merrell vapor glove 4 our best buy award winner is like wearing a vibram fivefingers without separated toes and sometimes we prefer this the soft and thin sole provides excellent ground feel and the soft uppers let you lift your toes with hardly any impediment.
The merrell omni fit lacing system gives a glove like fit.
Ended up keeping the 3.
With no midsole cushioning and a short stack height the vapor glove puts your foot right against the ground for maximum responsiveness.
Unlike other shoes the tongue of trail glove 4 is a continuation of the upper part rather a separate tongue.
On the road an ultralight mesh upper keeps your feet cool and short sticky lugs.
The weak points on the upper were reinforced and it was still properly minimal.
I ordered a pair and after a couple weeks use i can t recommend them.
They do seem more durable but the fit is just wrong.
These 4 s feel amazingly narrower than the predecessor.
With the vapor glove 4 it looked like merrell might have hit it out of the park.
The toebox is noticeably narrower the heel and midfoot.
This helps the foot remain in place give you good fitting and cushioning.
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.
