Merrell vapor glove 4 trail running shoes review.

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. On the road an ultralight mesh upper keeps your feet cool and short sticky lugs. The merrell trail glove 4 is set at about the average price for a barefoot running shoe.

But from the stance of a minimalist running shoe the trail glove 5 misses the mark. If you re seeking a light weight responsive and snug barefoot shoe then this one is definitely worth the price. I have recommended this as their top choice because of its flexibility minimal interference resistance and durability. 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.

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. With no midsole cushioning and a short stack height the vapor glove puts your foot right against the ground for maximum responsiveness. Some runners though have argued that the shoe should be priced somewhat lower because of what it lacks in versatility. Trail glove 4 is a wise choice to make for minimal trail running.
