Super grip and great gym training shoe
Great shoe. I am flat foot but somehow these shoes feel great. I use them strictly for weight training in the gym but have run on the treadmill with them a couple times. My favorite feature is that they are slip on and they have a super grip so I can keep them on when I do mat work with zero slip.

The Best!
One of the best minimalist shoes I've ever owned. The shoe feels so natural with my connection to the ground.

Another miss on the Vapor glove 6
When comparing these to the Vapor glove 3 there are some really critical design changes are hard to ignore. 1: The toe box is actually more narrow (hard to understand why they would move in this direction for any reason other than aesthetic purposes which is really a shame to see on a shoe that is supposed to be geared toward functionally and minimalism) 2: The sole is noticably thicker. Whether this is to the actual stack height of the 6 or its oversized crappy trail style lugs I'm not sure but it's noticeable and it's a downgrade. Its a shame because someone on the design team at Merrell had already figured out the formula with the Vapor glove 3 in 2017 and every generation after it's one step forward and two steps back. Your team should talk to some people who really use the product instead of focusing on aesthetics at the expense of utility in the future but at this point I doubt that will happen. I'm sending them back.

Amazing shoes
Amazing shoes. With a good level of training and habit with barefoot shoes you do can run and hike on rough terrain with them. I've been using them for 3 weeks every day on an outdoor travel walking regularly in forests, rocks, mountains rocks, etc with light load on my shoulders; and I've been using them on a 5 days hike in the mountains with heavy load on my shoulders. They are not suitable for steep downhill terrain (uphill is fine), either wet or gravelly. Amazing for anything else.

Great Driving Shoes!
Bought my husband the brown color and he loves them for driving. He says he can’t really do much outdoor walking with them, as the thin soles will allow your feet to feel every little rock. But he drives a lot, and thinks they are very comfortable.

Notably durable
'Bout to buy a new pair of these. Had my current ones for a little over a year, and they've gotten into rough shape, but between mountain hikes, regular bike riding, swamp hikes, working in a freight warehouse where they get hit with pallets and are walked in on concrete for 40+ hours just at work, dealing with occasional chemical spills and the like, I can tell you, well worth the price. Bear in mind, these have been my only shoes for this whole time too, so they've been put through a wringer and only just now after about 1 1/4 year need replaced. For how lightweight they are, man I'm honestly very impressed with these.
