FAQs
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
These are minimalist shoes. If you are experienced with barefoot-style running, they are suitable, but beginners should introduce them very gradually to prevent injury.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
Hand-washing is recommended to preserve the structural integrity and materials of the shoe.
Do they have arch support?
No, the Vapor Glove 7 is a minimalist shoe designed to be completely flat with no artificial arch support.
What is the burrito-style tongue?
It is an integrated tongue construction that wraps over the top of the foot like a burrito, creating a secure, snug fit that prevents sliding.
Are they waterproof?
No, the engineered upper is designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after first use
Your muscles may be adjusting to the lack of cushioning; try shorter durations of wear until your feet adapt.
Outer material looks dusty or dirty
Use a soft-bristled dry brush to gently remove surface debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vapor Glove 7 shoes, avoid exposing them to extreme heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can degrade the specialized bonding agents in the outsole. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the surface with a damp cloth; for deeper cleans, hand-wash in cold water using mild soap and allow to air dry away from direct sunlight. When transitioning to these shoes, it is recommended to start with short periods of wear to allow your foot muscles and tendons to adapt to the lack of arch support and heel cushioning.
