The leather version of these shoes perfectly combines comfort with city style. They remain very comfortable and at the same time look more durable and handle everyday use better. They work well both for walks and at work – I wear them every day and they’re great.
Merrell Vapor Glove 7 Leather Shoes - Earthen
Sporty barefoot shoes that replicate walking barefoot are equipped with a Vibram TC5+ outsole responsible for traction on various types of terrain and better ground feel. In this version, the upper is made from genuine leather, while the laces, mesh, and insole are made from recycled materials.
Upper made from genuine leather
The upper is made from genuine leather, which stands out for its durability and resistance to damage. The design is complemented by a tongue that limits debris from getting inside the shoe, as well as an elastic mesh collar that makes the shoes easier to put on and take off.
Soft EVA foam insole, Cleansport NXT
The anatomically contoured inner insole is made from soft EVA foam, which supports a proper fit to the foot and improves wearing comfort. The breathable mesh lining also enhances air circulation. The footwear uses Cleansport NXT technology, which reduces the formation of unpleasant odors. The solution is based on a system of beneficial bacteria introduced into the structure of the fabric. When they come into contact with sweat, they are activated and produce enzymes that eliminate the bacteria responsible for unpleasant odor. As a result, the footwear stays fresh throughout its service life, and the bacteria remain on the surface of the material.
Vibram TC5+ outsole
Stable movement in the field is ensured by the cushioned Vibram TC5+ outsole, which, combined with an appropriately contoured tread, provides very good traction on various types of terrain.
Classic lacing system
The Vapor Glove 7 model is equipped with durable laces threaded through sturdy eyelets, allowing the footwear to be properly adjusted 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.
