Features
Experience the trail in its purest form—the Merrell Vapor Glove 6 brings you closer to the trail and connects you to every step.
This ultra-lightweight minimalist shoe lets your feet move the way they're designed to, with zero drop and a barely-there 6 mm stack height that keeps you grounded. The 100% recycled mesh upper keeps your feet cool, while the Vibram® Ecostep outsole gives you the grip you need without weighing you down. Weighing just 4.59 oz, this shoe practically disappears on your feet, leaving you free to focus on the simple joy of moving through nature.
Details:
- Upper: The 100% recycled breathable mesh upper, laces and webbing keep your environmental impact light while your feet stay comfortable. A bellows tongue keeps trail debris out, while the external rear sling locks your heel in place. Plus, Cleansport NXT treatment provides natural odor control for those longer adventures.
- Midsole: Merrell Barefoot 2 construction keeps your foot in its natural position, allowing your muscles and joints to work the way they evolved to. The 30% recycled integrated EVA foam insole adds just enough comfort without compromising the barefoot experience.
- Outsole: A Vibram® Ecostep recycled outsole uses 30% recycled rubber to deliver reliable traction on both wet and dry surfaces. With 2 mm lugs, you get the grip you need for light trail conditions without unnecessary bulk.
