Merrell Vapor Glove 6 Leather Women's Trail Running Shoes
Merrell's leadership in the barefoot category continues with the Vapor Glove 6 Leather. These are the most minimal shoes Merrell creates, featuring a Vibram EcoStep outsole that wraps the foot to maximize grip and connection and a 100% leather upper for an everyday style.
Leather Upper
The Merrell Vapour Glove 6 has been constructed using a leather upper. This luxurious, soft, supple upper is incredibly comfortable, durable and breathable, perfect for any adventures you take them on. A lining made with 100% recycled mesh allows for temperature and moisture control by allowing heat and moisture to escape, and move to the outer of the shoe - keeping your feet feeling fresh and breezy. Merrell Barefoot 2 construction is designed to keep the foot in a natural position, with a zero drop, to encourage natural running form. By hitting the ground with your forefoot, rather than your heel, your speed will increase and your likelihood of injuring your joints will be lessened. A bellows tongue features on the upper to help keep out debris and lastly, a traditional lacing system locks the midfoot down to prevent excessive movement.
EVA Midsole
The midsole uses an EVA foam to ensure a light, durable ride. The midsole ensures ample underfoot cushioning to reduce the impact placed upon the feet on tough trails whilst remaining as lightweight as possible so you'll never feel weighed down. The lightweight midsole offers supreme cushioning and support to key areas like the arch and heel, holding the foot in place for smoother transitions and wear. By supporting these key areas of the foot, the midsole material can also help offer enough support to help prevent discomfort and possible injury.
Vibram EcoStep Outsole
Finished with a Vibram EcoStep outsole, made from 30% recycled rubber, for an innovative combination of sustainability and performance, which provides added durability and improved grip on wet and dry surfaces. 2.5mm lugs grip onto surfaces and tackle smooth, rough, wet and dry surfaces easily so you can take your adventures to the next level in confidence.
