Merrell Vapor Glove 7 Leather Shoes - Black
Barefoot-style sports shoes designed to simulate walking barefoot, featuring a Vibram TC5+ outsole that ensures traction on various surfaces and allows for direct contact between the foot and the ground. The upper on this model is made of natural leather, while the laces, mesh, and insole are made from recycled materials.
Upper made of natural leather
The upper of these shoes is made from natural leather, which is characterized by durability and resistance to damage. It also features a tongue with a design that prevents contaminants from entering the interior of the footwear and an elastic mesh collar that makes it easier to put on and take off.
Soft EVA foam insole, Cleansport NXT
The inner insole with an anatomical profile is made of soft EVA foam, which ensures proper fit to the foot along with comfort and ease. The breathable mesh lining additionally enhances air circulation. The footwear utilizes Cleansport NXT technology, which prevents unpleasant odors from forming. This mechanism is based on the action of special bacteria embedded in the fabric structure, activated by sweat to produce enzymes that eliminate bacteria responsible for unpleasant odors. As a result, the shoes remain fresh throughout use, and bacteria remain on the surface of the material.
Vibram TC5+ Sole
Stability in movement on various terrains is ensured by the cushioning Vibram TC5+ sole, which, combined with a suitably profiled tread, offers very good grip.
Classic lacing system
The Vapor Glove 7 model features strong laces placed in durable eyelets, allowing for proper fitting of the shoes to the foot.

EVA is a lightweight foam made of plastic characterized by flexibility and durability, as well as good resistance to chemicals and moisture. It is widely used in the production of clothing, footwear and accessories.
Vibram TC5+ is a type of rubber sole characterized by very good traction and grip, both on wet and dry surfaces. In addition, it protects the foot from uneven terrain and cushions any impact.
Cleansport NXT is a technology that uses microorganisms to neutralize odors by naturally breaking down organic matter. Beneficial microorganisms are permanently fused to the fibers of the materials, where, when they come into contact with the organic material (sweat), they activate and produce enzymes that fight the bacteria responsible for the odor. This ecological process ensures a feeling of freshness and comfort even during the most intense activities.

The shoes are really nice, but it's worth remembering that these are barefoot shoes – at first, wearing them feels unusual due to the thin sole, so you can feel almost everything. After a few days, you get used to them and then they become really comfortable. The leather deserves praise for looking durable, and the shoes work well on cooler days. They're perfect for everyday use – they're lightweight, comfortable, and don't cause foot fatigue, though I must note they have no cushioning, so they might not appeal to everyone. While sightseeing in Gdańsk, I wore them all day and they worked great.

Simple shoes without frills. The thin leather fits the foot well, and the Vibram sole grips incredibly well. There's no cushioning—it's a pure barefoot effect, with the foot itself doing all the work. A good option for the gym and asphalt when you need control and nothing extra.
