FAQs

What is the main advantage of the BOA Fit System?

The BOA Fit System provides a secure, micro-adjustable fit that can be easily tightened or loosened on the go, offering a consistent and customized feel without laces.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Vapor Glove 6 BOA is a minimalist shoe. While suitable for shorter runs or trail running where ground feel is beneficial, it lacks the cushioning typically found in dedicated running shoes, which might be preferred for longer distances or high-impact running.

How do I know if I need to break them in?

If you are new to minimalist or barefoot-style footwear, a break-in period is recommended. Start with short durations of wear and gradually increase the time to allow your feet to adapt.

What is the primary intended use for this shoe?

These shoes are designed for activities that benefit from a close-to-barefoot feel and natural foot movement, such as gym training, weightlifting, cross-training, and general casual wear.

How is the fit different from traditional lace-up shoes?

The BOA system allows for a more uniform pressure distribution across the foot compared to traditional laces, leading to a more secure and precise fit.

Can I replace the BOA system if it breaks?

Merrell typically offers support for BOA systems. Check the product warranty details or contact Merrell customer service for specific replacement or repair information.

Troubleshooting

BOA dial is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure there is no debris around the dial or lacing mechanism. Gently try to clear any obstructions. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Shoes feel too tight/loose after adjustment

Experiment with small increments of dial turns. Pulling the dial out fully will release all tension, allowing you to reset the fit.

Unusual rubbing or discomfort

Ensure you have selected the correct size and that the BOA system is not overtightened. Break-in period may be necessary for new users.

Difficulty cleaning the BOA system

Use a soft brush to clean around the dial and cable guides. Avoid submerging the mechanism in water.

  • BOA Fit System ensures a secure and easily adjustable fit.
  • Lightweight and flexible for enhanced agility.
  • Promotes natural foot movement and posture.
  • Durable for its minimalist design.

Cons

  • BOA system, while secure, is a unique mechanism to get used to.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The primary setup involves adjusting the BOA Fit System. To tighten, turn the dial clockwise. To loosen, pull the dial outwards. Find the optimal tension that feels secure but not constricting.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult women and are compatible with most standard sock types. They are ideal for gym activities, cross-training, and general wear where a minimalist shoe is preferred.

Care: To clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down the exterior. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Allow shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
