Merrell Vapor Glove 7 LTR Trainers - Black - 13 UK

The Vapor Glove 7 LTR Trainers feature a minimalist design. While they are designed to allow the foot to splay naturally, individual fit can vary. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides carefully.

Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather. Allow the shoes to air dry completely afterward.

This construction is designed to keep the foot in a natural, flat position, promoting a more stable and intuitive gait similar to being barefoot, while still offering protection.

The insole is integrated for cushioning. While it is not designed for easy removal and replacement, it can be taken out for airing if it becomes damp. For significant wear, it might be challenging to replace due to the shoe's construction.

These trainers are not waterproof. They feature breathable mesh lining, which enhances ventilation but does not provide water resistance.

The Vibram TC5+ outsole is engineered for durability and provides exceptional, multi-sport traction across various surfaces, including rock, wet, and dry conditions.

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should fit snugly without slipping, and the midfoot should feel secure but not tight.

This is common with new leather and minimalist shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Movement will soften the leather and allow your feet to adapt.

Clean the outsole tread thoroughly after each use. While the Vibram TC5+ offers excellent grip, extremely thick mud can reduce its effectiveness. Ensure no debris is lodged in the lugs.

This may indicate a need for a gradual adaptation period. Start with shorter wear times and progressively increase them. Ensure the lacing is snug but not constricting.
