They do seem more durable but the fit is just wrong.
Merrell vapor glove 4 review.
Ended up keeping the 3.
I ordered a pair and after a couple weeks use i can t recommend them.
Unlike other shoes the tongue of trail glove 4 is a continuation of the upper part rather a separate tongue.
The added feature of version 4 is the padded collar and tongue.
The toe box is wide enough to allow the toes to splay but still narrow enough to feel nimble on technical trails.
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.
With the vapor glove 4 it looked like merrell might have hit it out of the park.
The merrell omni fit lacing system gives a glove like fit.
These 4 s feel amazingly narrower than the predecessor.
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.
The weak points on the upper were reinforced and it was still properly minimal.
Tried the vapor glove 3 and the vapor glove 4.
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.
On the road an ultralight mesh upper keeps your feet cool and short sticky lugs.
