Merrell Vapor Glove 4 Trail Running Shoes Review

With no midsole cushioning and a short stack height the vapor glove puts your foot right against the ground for maximum responsiveness.

Merrell vapor glove 4 trail running shoes review.

While we found that the barefoot 2 construction does a good job of mimicking the shape of the foot standing still in motion it resulted in an unnatural change to our gait. Merrell trail running shoes provide you with the protection stability and support you need when braving the great outdoors. Some runners though have argued that the shoe should be priced somewhat lower because of what it lacks in versatility. I have recommended this as their top choice because of its flexibility minimal interference resistance and durability.

No two feet are the same and runners come with different foot types and arch support needs. The merrell vapor glove 4 our editors choice winner is a minimalist trainer delivered in a package with superior ground feel and barefoot accuracy on roads and trails. On the road an ultralight mesh upper keeps your feet cool and short sticky lugs. But from the stance of a minimalist running shoe the trail glove 5 misses the mark.

Our thorough reviews will highlight how much protection each shoe provides as well as specify what they can or can t withstand. If you approach this shoe as an ultralight trail runner we would put it at the top of its class. The merrell trail glove 4 is set at about the average price for a barefoot running shoe. Merrell trail glove 4 also provides motion control and tends to be low in weight and stack height making it ideal for daily use and running.
