Product Information

Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Vapor Glove 7 is designed for a minimalist running experience. If you are accustomed to barefoot or minimalist running, they can be suitable. However, individuals new to this style should transition gradually to avoid injury.

What is the stack height?

The stack height is a mere 8mm, contributing to the shoe's minimalist and ground-connected feel.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The shoe should feel snug and secure without being tight. Your toes should have room to splay naturally, and there should be no heel slippage. It's recommended to try them on or consult the sizing chart carefully.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

The Vibram® TC5+ outsole provides good traction, but like most footwear, performance may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. The breathable mesh upper will allow water to pass through, meaning they are not waterproof.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Merrell Vapor Glove 7 features a breathable mesh upper and is not designed to be waterproof. It is intended to allow airflow and quick drainage if it gets wet.

What does 'Merrell Barefoot 2 construction' mean?

This construction is designed to keep your foot in a natural position, promoting better stability, balance, and proprioception, mimicking the feeling of being barefoot.

What is the return policy?

Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on exchanges or returns.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive

Loosen the laces and ensure the burrito tongue is properly aligned. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up, as minimalist shoes require a precise fit.

Discomfort during initial wear

This is common for users transitioning to minimalist footwear. Start with short wear times and gradually increase duration. Allow your feet and lower legs time to adapt.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

While the Vibram® TC5+ outsole offers excellent grip, all rubber soles can become less effective on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and dry for optimal performance.

Debris getting inside the shoe

Ensure the laces are tied securely and the tongue is positioned correctly to minimize openings. For very rough terrain, consider gaiters.
