This helps the foot remain in place give you good fitting and cushioning.
Merrell vapor glove 4 review.
The toebox is noticeably narrower the heel and midfoot.
With no midsole cushioning and a short stack height the vapor glove puts your foot right against the ground for maximum responsiveness.
Not for the faint of heart the zero drop unpadded trail runner is incredibly flexible and featherlight.
These 4 s feel amazingly narrower than the predecessor.
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.
The added feature of version 4 is the padded collar and tongue.
The merrell vapor glove 3 is a true barefoot style trail shoe with an ultra minimalist design.
Ended up keeping the 3.
With the vapor glove 4 it looked like merrell might have hit it out of the park.
The new version of the vapor glove introduces some well thought out changes such as a new midsole pad to add additional protection against debris.
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.
I actually had a pair of the original merrell barefoot sneakers purchased many years ago and those were actually my all time favorites sadly it was time to retire them after many years of use and washes in the machine.
Unlike other shoes the tongue of trail glove 4 is a continuation of the upper part rather a separate tongue.
The merrell omni fit lacing system gives a glove like fit.
I ordered a pair and after a couple weeks use i can t recommend them.
The weak points on the upper were reinforced and it was still properly minimal.
Tried the vapor glove 3 and the vapor glove 4.
