Minimal design. Maximum performance. Vapor Glove 3 Luna Leather combines sock-like feel with soft, full-grain leather. Add to that a Vibram® sole that provides nearly zero ground-to-foot separation.

Excellent all round footware
I've trained barefoot for over a decade and wanted a versatile barefoot shoe for work when it's too hot for boots. The fit is nice and wide and the sole is very grippy without sacrificing feel.I liked them so much I bought a pair of vapor glove 4s for the gym.My only complaint is that the toe box (where the sole comes up over the toes) feels slightly too large for workouts.The leather is lovely and soft yet robust enough to take an impromptu run or hike when required.

Good but could do better. Leather lined. Narrow.
Shoes are almost good but fall short in a few ways.Good things: leather lined as the glove is effectively one piece of leather (no unbreathable lining as some reviews have claimed)Could do better: they shoes fit very narrow for a minimalist shoes even when I went one size up so they don’t allow your toes to spread out which is important for a barefoot minimalist shoe. The design at the doesn’t really allow for the ankle to be held in place so it feels unstable when you move. The soles are thin and flexible as a barefoot shoe should be but seemed very soft compared to other brands and it seemed like they would wear through very quickly. I have since returned the shoes and opted for Vivobarefoot. More expensive but worth every penny. And of course of you buy cheap, you pay twice.

Completely comfortable to wear .
Been wearing it like everyday since I bought it some eight months ago. No sign of depreciation so far. The soul is sturdy. It is lightweight yet appropriately well cushioned.

Spacious and comfy
Bought to replace my thoroughly worn out Merrell Road Gloves, these have a similarly capacious toe box and minimal stack height.I wear them inside and out -- in fact, I pretty much live in them -- and I love their slipper-like comfort.Though I wear them for casual use, not running, I'm sure they'd be as good for running as my old Road Gloves if I were so inclined.I expect the usual Merrell durability. I've owned a few pairs and all lasted really well. Nothing ever came unglued or unstitched, and worn soles were the only reason I retired them.

The Canvas Ones are More Comfortable...!.
The Canvas Ones are More Comfortable than these...there tends tobe a build of pressure over the EXTENSOR DIGITORIUM (had to google that) of the foot that the canvas version do not have...these would offer more impact protection (relatively) but canvas for me...have 2 pairs canvas...These do look great in blue.I think this shoe concept was borrowed from kung-fu shoes as back in the day I wore £10 kung-fu shoes outside, and it was much the same road feel as these...There is someting about these shoes that gets the mind going while walking...you feel totally connected to the earth with the simple removal of the midsole.I see why I loved a certain pair of hi-tec hiking boots as they were much the same..that magnetic connection to terra firma with footfall.Overpriced if you factor in made in Vietnam..in all likelyhood £5 to make - but priceless in how they work your legs and mind...haha ! So yes, they have a bit of a monopoloy with this shoe model.Has anyone noticed how shoe sellers now vary the price between sizes..ridiculous !...it's the latest scam that should not be allowed...flat price over all sizes as it was in the past....So back these leather ones went, and I now am happy with 2 sets of the canvas model Merrell barefoot shoes....far more flexible on top of the foot.Vapor Glove 3 = ROCK !

Small
They are "okay". Probably worth closer to £30 than £90. Far too narrow. Supposed to be specialists in barefoot shoes but somehow made size10s more narrow than my size9 Nike trainers. I specifically got a full size larger because of reviews but they're still too narrow

Love these barefoots shoes! But these are BAREFOOT!
Great barefoot shoes. I own many barefoot shoes. Like anything else there's a time and a place for them. But these are incredibly barefoot. Zero drop. And such a thin sole that you can literally feel pebbles while standing on them. Unlike Vivo's for example these are seriously barefoot but that's what they are in the end of the day. Great for walking, lifting weights and just wearing around the house. Would deffo recommend. They look good and aren't so wide at the top box but still offering natural looking space.

Cheap rubber shoes
Disappointed in these. They feel like cheap rubber rainboots but in a shoe form - the so called 'leather upper' is a very thin leather lining attached to a mesh or felt upper. It feels awful all around. The shape of the shoe is great, and is true to barefoot styling, but the shoe itself is not comfortable or enjoyable to wear. Putting it on with socks, the socks almost 'stick' to the liner and requires quite a bit of adjustment to get them on properly. You also won't be able to keep these tied and slip them on because of this.Have enjoyed other Merrell barefoot/minimalist shoes, but these were a bad buy, especially when there are better options from other companies (lems/vivo/etc) available.

Great shoes
Very comfortable and discrete for barefoot shoes. Only downside is they get use marks/dirty rather quickly.
