The leather version is a great combination of comfort and a more urban look. The shoes are still very comfortable, and at the same time they appear more sturdy and handle everyday use better. They work well both for walks and at work, I wear them everywhere and they're great.
Merrell Vapor Glove 7 Leather Shoes - Black
Barefoot-style sports shoes designed to mimic walking barefoot, featuring a Vibram TC5+ outsole that provides traction on various surfaces and enhances foot-to-ground contact. The upper of this model is made of natural leather, while the laces, mesh, and insole are made from recycled materials.
Upper from natural leather
The upper of the shoes is made from natural leather characterized by durability and resistance to damage. Additionally, a tongue with a construction preventing dirt from entering the shoe, and an elastic, mesh collar that facilitates putting on and taking off the shoes have been applied.
Soft EVA foam insole, Cleansport NXT
Anatomically shaped inner insole is made from soft EVA foam, which allows appropriate adjustment to the foot as well as comfort and convenience. The breathable mesh lining additionally improves air circulation. The shoes employ Cleansport NXT technology, which prevents unpleasant odors in the footwear. It uses a system of beneficial microbes that are embedded in the fabric structure. When in contact with sweat, they activate and produce enzymes that eliminate the bacteria responsible for unpleasant odors. Thanks to this, the footwear remains fresh throughout its use and the bacteria remain on the material's surface.
Vibram TC5+ outsole
Stable movement in terrain is ensured by a cushioned Vibram TC5+ outsole which, along with a suitably profiled tread, enables very good traction on various types of surfaces.
Classic lacing system
The Vapor Glove 7 model is equipped with strong laces threaded through durable eyelets, enabling appropriate fit of the footwear to the foot.

EVA is a lightweight foam made of plastic characterized by flexibility and durability, as well as good resistance to chemicals and moisture. It is widely used in the production of clothing, footwear and accessories.
Vibram TC5+ is a type of rubber sole characterized by very good traction and grip, both on wet and dry surfaces. In addition, it protects the foot from uneven terrain and cushions any impact.
Cleansport NXT is a technology that uses microorganisms to neutralize odors by naturally breaking down organic matter. Beneficial microorganisms are permanently fused to the fibers of the materials, where, when they come into contact with the organic material (sweat), they activate and produce enzymes that fight the bacteria responsible for the odor. This ecological process ensures a feeling of freshness and comfort even during the most intense activities.

Nice shoes, but you need to know that these are barefoot shoes, so at first the feeling is quite specific because the sole is thin and you can feel everything. After a few days, you get used to it and then they become really comfortable. Big plus for the leather—they look solid and are good for cooler days. For everyday use, they work very well: light, comfortable, and they don't tire your feet, just note there is no cushioning, so they're not for everyone. I recently had them on a trip to Gdańsk, walked in them all day and they held up.

Minimalist shoes without unnecessary extras. The delicate leather adapts to the shape of the foot, and the Vibram sole provides excellent grip. They have no cushioning—you feel like you're barefoot, so your foot is fully active. This is a great option for gym workouts and running on asphalt when precision and simplicity matter.
