Merrell Men's Barefoot Vapor Glove Running Shoe,Red Pepper,9 M US Review

This is a shoe I have definitely been looking forward to for the past 6 months, as I was immediately intrigued when the news about them first broke on birthdayshoes.com. Previously, I had always wondered why shoe companies didn't try to further mimmick the success of Vibram and their ultra-minimalist footwear. Luckily, our prayers have been answered with the Merrell Vapor Glove.

Merrell has really hit a home run with this brand new show. For myself, I prefer wearing a shoe with socks as I've come to the realization that getting the odor out of these shoes from running barefoot is almost impossible. Therefore, I prefer running in Injinji socks with my Vibrams (KSOs, Bikilas). However, the problem is that the socks can become a bit pricey (you purchase them by the single pair). Also, when you're clocking at least 25+ miles in them a week (even when rotating between the 10 or so pairs I have) they quickly begin to wear down in the forefoot and toe areas.

Side random note, but it's also a pain in the butt when you take Injinji socks with you for a run and realize you grabbed a pair of two left-footed socks. (who HASN'T done that???)

Which leads me to the amazing shoes known as Merrell Vapor Gloves. These shoes offer the best ground feel from a traditional "shoe" that I have ever experienced. They are definitely comparable to my Vibram KSOs, if not a bit thinner. In terms of a traditional running shoe, this is the shoe I've been waiting for. Yes, I've looked into Vivobarefoot running shoes but the price is a bit much. For the cost (I found these under 80 dollars) this is the best deal I've found. I've done several runs in them with few to no complaints.

PROS:

-Great ground feel
-Easy Lacing System
-Large toe-box
-Durable, yet very flexible
-Thin, but sturdy

CONS:

-Sizing may run a bit large for some. I normally wear a 9, but found that to be too big. Had to return for an 8.5
-A little narrow in the midfoot area (everyone has a different shaped foot, though, so it's understandable)
-Limited color options (more of a nit-pick)

Best of all, I no longer have to pay for overpriced Injinji socks! I can go to Target and buy 10 pairs of sock liners for 12 bucks and save plenty of money! Thanks Merrell!
