Merrell Vapor Glove 6 Men's Trail Running Shoes

The Vapor Glove 6 is the ultimate ultra-light minimalist trail running shoe designed for light trail with rare obstacles. It maximises the barefoot feel with the specially designed midsole that keeps feet level and close to the ground. A grippy Vibram Ecostep outsole provides advanced traction to keep you in control as you speed across the wilderness.

Recycled Mesh Upper

The upper is crafted from 100% recycled mesh and webbing for advanced breathability and an eco-conscious choice. The lining is constructed from 100% recycled mesh, allowing heat and vapour to escape for fresh-feeling feet. The bellows tongue keeps out debris, and the traditional lacing system (with recycled laces) secures the midfoot down to prevent in-shoe slippage. An external rear sling further locks in the heel for total confidence. Cleansport NXT has been used to provide natural odour control, keeping feet feeling and smelling fresh as you push on and a 30% recycled integrated EVA foam insole provides underfoot plushness.

Barefoot 2 EVA Midsole

Merrell Barefoot 2 is designed to keep the foot in a natural position, with a zero drop, to encourage natural running form. Naturally, you would run on your toes rather than your heels, as most shoes encourage. By encouraging you up onto your toes, your speed will increase, and the risk of injuring your joints is reduced. EVA foam has been used for the midsole to ensure a light and durable ride. The midsole ensures ample underfoot cushioning to reduce the impact placed upon the feet on tough trails whilst remaining as lightweight as possible, so you'll never feel weighed down.

Vibram Ecostep Outsole

The shoes feature a Vibram Ecostep outsole. It is made from 30% recycled rubber, for an exciting combination of renewability and performance. It is robust and delivers great grip on wet and dry surfaces. The 2mm lugs grip onto the ground below and tackle smooth, rough, wet and dry surfaces easily, so you can take your adventures to the next level.
