Merrell Women's Vapor Glove 4 Cross Trainer

I got these in 2020 for hiking, gym, travel and was not disappointed. I went 6 years only wearing 5 Fingers and crossed over to these. They give that same barefoot feel without all the toe nonsense. I JUST NOW after 2.5 years, finally worn a hole in them. But I also started walking 3-7 miles a day in the few weeks. I brought these to probably a dozen countries while backpacking abroad so they also served me in that way for outsided use and super lightweight packing. I wear these for training at the gym, plus running or walking on the treadmill. They were also my only hiking shoes too, so add that into the mix.I came to purchase another pair!

I have multiple zero drop shoes and love them. Just bought 2 pairs of these shoes. I have had other merrell barefoot shoes in the past and have been very happy with them all. Bought a half size bigger and they fit great. Bought a pair at a Merrell store so I could size them right.

Compared to my other barefoot zero-drop shoes, such as the Vivo Trail FG and Speed Force, the Merrell VP4 is the lightest and provides the most ground-feel. When you wear them, it feels almost like wearing socks; they're really comfortable. However, their soles might be too thin for barefoot beginners. By the way, I've tried the VG5, and it's nothing like the VP4. I'll stick to this model until they release something similar.

These are almost a perfect replacement for the vapor gloves I've been wearing for 5 years. My only complaint is the fabric is not breathable so my feet get hot in them. I like how they look.

These shoes are the best shoes I have ever had. I won't wear anything else. Now I just need a winter boots version and I'll be good to go! Highly recommend. It feels like nothing is on your feet, it's magical.

I had a previous version of this shoe that lasted 5 years. The new design is even more minimalistic and stylish. I used this shoe for everything and it’s my main running shoe. Great for travel! Performs well in hikes.

After a few wears, the right shoe’s sole started to separate from the shoe. I’ve owned this style before and the last pair lasted years without issue. I’m disappointed that these are already coming apart.

Tried them on and they fit like a glove! Absolutely love them! So tempted to get another pair.
