Vapor Glove 7 Leather

Daily TrainerReleased 2026-01-30JP

Vapor Glove 7 Leather carries the line’s minimalist barefoot platform into a casual form through a supple leather upper for everyday use. Merrell Barefoot 2 keeps the foot in a natural position, while the integrated EVA insole retains its stripped-back construction. Vibram TC5+ adds outdoor-derived traction across running, training, walking and daily use without losing the close-to-ground focus.

Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
The exact Merrell U.S. product page lists 209g as men's half-pair weight. The exact Merrell UK product page independently corroborates 209g.
Plate note
The exact Merrell Japan and U.S. pages provide sufficiently complete construction details, including the leather upper, integrated EVA foam insole, Barefoot 2 platform, and Vibram TC5+ outsole, without identifying a carbon structure. It remains classified as non-carbon under the complete-official-spec policy; this does not assert that every non-carbon reinforcing element is absent.
