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 - Earthen
Sports barefoot-style shoes that imitate walking barefoot, equipped with a Vibram TC5+ outsole that provides grip on various types of surfaces and allows foot contact with the ground. The upper in this model is made of genuine leather, while the laces, mesh and insole are made from recycled materials.
Upper made of genuine leather
The shoe upper is made of genuine leather characterised by durability and resistance to damage. Additionally, it features a tongue with a construction that prevents debris from getting inside the shoe and an elastic mesh collar that makes the shoes easier to put on and take off.
Soft EVA foam insole, Cleansport NXT
The anatomically shaped inner insole is made of soft EVA foam, which allows proper adaptation to the foot and ensures comfort and convenience. The breathable mesh padding further improves air circulation. The shoes use Cleansport NXT technology, which prevents unpleasant odours from developing in the footwear. It uses a system of beneficial bacteria embedded in the fabric structure. When they come into contact with sweat, they activate and produce enzymes that eliminate the bacteria responsible for unpleasant odours. Thanks to this, the footwear stays fresh throughout its period of use, and the bacteria remain on the surface of the material.
Vibram TC5+ outsole
Stable movement in the field is ensured by the cushioned Vibram TC5+ outsole, which together with the appropriately shaped tread provides very good grip on various types of surfaces.
Classic lacing system
The Vapor Glove 7 model is equipped with strong laces threaded through durable eyelets, allowing the footwear to be properly adjusted 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.
