It's a solid, comfortable shoe that will fit a wide range of feet. My only problem is that Merrell feels the need to update the Vapor Glove constantly. Those of us wearing them don't like change. That's not to say there's anything wrong with the Vapor Glove 5 I haven't tried it yet , but it is a warning that if this version is your favorite shoe ever, you might want to buy a few pairs.
The Vapor Glove 6 will inevitably be slightly different. You'll use those pairs if you like them. The one thing I don't like about these shoes is that they only last me about six months I run about miles a day. I got quite a few emails suggesting I try these, and I'm glad I did, because the Tangas are my new favorite around-the-house shoes. The single-piece mesh upper is made of recycled coffee grounds, so they lean on the positive side of the sliding scale that is environmental friendliness.
They're also very comfortable, and the mesh fabric is nicely breathable for warm days. The Tangas sport a thicker 6. This makes them a good way to start your barefoot journey, as you can reduce the amount of padding as you go. I've tried several of Xero's various running shoes, but the HFS is my favorite for running on human-made surfaces like concrete and asphalt.
That said, they work great on trails too. I went backpacking in mine with a pound pack and had no problems. Barefoot purists yes, there are those, see the barefoot running subreddit would argue that these are pushing the definition of barefoot, but why let semantics get in the way of a great shoe?
These are comfortable and durable, and they offer about 7 millimeters of padding to soften the impact of running on hard surfaces. Unfortunately, the SG version I recommend is only available for women. Sorry guys—no muddy trails for you. These shoes are a bit like mud tires for your bare feet. If you do any trail running, you'll appreciate the heavier tread and the way the SG gets you through muddy, boggy spots without slipping.
Last winter was one of the wettest on record in my part of the country, and I ran muddy trails in these every day without ever slipping or sliding. My one gripe is that the heel stitching rubbed me the wrong way. They remain my go-to choice for trail running. Whenever I told someone I was testing barefoot shoes, if they had any response at all it was usually, "Oh, like those five-finger things?
Barefoot shoes aren't for everyone, and these FiveFingers especially are not for everyone. I do not like them, but one of the people who introduced me to barefoot shoes has been wearing nothing but these for well over a decade and swears by them. Running barefoot with a strong heel strike will send you to the sofa to let your bone contusion or fracture heal.
This style of running may be safer and lead to fewer injuries, in addition to being biomechanically more sound from an energy and force distribution standpoint. Basically, it is a smarter way to ambulate. A change in your running style to a more natural forefoot strike should occur almost immediately, with lasting adaptations within a few weeks.
As your form and foot strength improve you will become more adept at forefoot running and therefore be able to increase your speed and mileage. Remember, you are learning to use a new athletic skill. Many runners will feel driven to regain the mileage they were used to doing in sneakers in a short period of time.
Doing so can lead to overuse injuries, because muscles and tendons need sufficient time to build the strength required for running with a forefoot strike. Sticking to a slow, but steady transition will build a strength base for longterm success. For this reason, they are unique, well-designed, innovative and creative models.
Vibram fans can purchase them at their discretion.

The sole on the Vibram V-Train is designed for gym work and indoor activities. Where the versions above have deeper tread soles that are great for extra grip in rough terrain, the V-Train has a lesser tread, making it far more suitable for flat surfaces and supreme agility.
The V-RUN is loved for its versatility. It has a grip level that is ideal for road running , offers a good amount of agility for the gym and looks like a casual trainer.
The is one of the bestsellers for men looking for a great all-rounder. As you can see in the photo below, it has a very dynamic aesthetic, is made from a variety of light breathable fabrics, and comes in a variety of colors. These are the designs that we suggest you take a look at first.
They are fine in the rain and perfect for warm weather with their very open design I wash them after each use. The thin razor-striped sole offers exceptional dexterity. I use them for running short distances 2 Km or less , light exercises, walking around, traveling, long walks wet and dry.
The difference is the strap that holds your foot down and prevent slippage; wet or sweat do not affect the performance as the insole gets grimy wash them after each use. When you need that extra edge with a toe grip, this one will deliver. KSO will take you from the sidewalk to the road, the lake and the mud and back to the street without having to worry about traction. They have the ability to shed water better than any other FiveFingers and are easy to maintain.
KSO are my favorite climbing footwear. They stay on your feet, no matter what you throw at them I wash them after each use. Also great for Parkour. This style sports a mid-sole armor plating that distributes foot strike impacts thus minimizing fascia bruising while impacting very rough terrain with those pesky, pointy rocks. The aggressive sole allows for great grip under dry and wet conditions. They are my favorite when going up a mountain approach.
They do also work well for Parkour. The stiffer sole will prevent you from using a downward toe grip. Born to run with their specialized forefoot padding and a sole designed for long distance running the BIKILA is perfect for that purpose Vibram carefully crafted this style for the runner.
They are also great for long walks and casual wear. I see them as stylish and love them. I think of them as my little foot Ferrari.
I do not take them to water-sport related activities because of too many points of entry for stuff to get in I have SUV for that. Overall, the SPEED is definitely the perfect travel companion; not my choice for long runs but absolutely perfect for a casual night out.
This one is my favorite for cold, dry weather. Definitely not my choice for wet weather but offers good protection in cool weather, great traction, and forefoot padding. Great for travel, long walks and some hiking. The suede leather feels very nice and soft. That nice look will return after a quick wash and a suede brush.
My favorite cross-fit training footwear. The sole is specifically designed to allow lateral movement side to side with a thicker insole to absorb impacts; they are in their ideal environment at the gym. I do not use for water related activities water activities require sure footing with grip, lateral movement is not part of good grip ; and the mid-sole and padding absorb quite a bit of water when wet water related debris also accumulate underneath the insole and make them uncomfortable.
Short runs are OK and so is casual wear. Most definitely NOT for the trails. FLOW is one of my favorite winter footwear in wet conditions. This is a similar rubber compound as what is used on climbing shoes. Perfect for cool and cold wet weather and any water-sport activities.
Also, wearing socks with the FLOW defeats the purpose of neoprene which is designed to tightly fit against the skin. The insulating properties of the neoprene are achieved when a moisture film is deposited between the epidermis and the neoprene; wearing socks — especially wet — will hold too much water and you start to feel cold much faster. The SeeYa is the ridiculously minimalistic running footwear.
Providing that you know how to run barefoot, the Seeya will give you road hazard protection. They really feel like almost wearing nothing. The heel-cup seems to run wide but they will stay on your feet; after all, you run forefoot. I had a few few friends that got nasty blisters on the top of their feet which I believe are caused by the new, more abrasive Polyester Stretch Mesh.
I understand that some of these issues have been addressed with the LS version, due fall I will review when I get to purchase a pair.
They are designed for indoor fitness. The rubber pads do provide good grip in the gym and fitness classroom.
