Vapor Glove 6 is a sixth-generation minimalist shoe for light-trail running. Recycled mesh pairs with a bellows tongue and an external heel sling to keep debris out and hold the rearfoot. Merrell Barefoot 2 construction uses an integrated EVA insole, while a Vibram Ecostep Recycle outsole contains 30% recycled rubber. Recycled laces, webbing and linings extend the material update beyond the upper.
