What Are Barefoot Shoes?
Born from the idea of unlocking the body’s natural strength, barefoot shoes are designed with a 0mm drop—where the heel and forefoot are at the same height—to mimic walking barefoot.
Stripped down to the essentials, these shoes reduce strain on the foot, enhance training effects, and support movement efficiency. Ideal not only for running and fitness but also for daily use.
Breathable, Supportive Upper
The upper features a technical combination of breathable mesh and supportive synthetic overlays. Instead of restricting movement, it gently wraps the foot for a natural, uninhibited feel.
BOA® Fit System
The fit is adjusted via the BOA® Fit System. With a quick turn of the dial, the wire laces tighten precisely, ensuring a secure, customized fit in seconds.
Designed for a Barefoot Experience
The outsole is made from Vibram ECOSTEP RECYCLE, a high-performance recycled rubber that delivers both grip and durability.
Full-coverage from toe to heel provides extra protection without compromising ground feel.
The minimalist design skips the midsole and keeps the outsole at just 6mm, allowing you to feel and respond to the terrain beneath your feet.
Getting Started with Barefoot Living
If you’re new to the VAPOR GLOVE 6, start by wearing them for walking or casual use to ease your body into the barefoot experience.
You’ll awaken muscles that have been underused and rediscover your natural stride.
Unlike traditional sneakers, landing on the heel can feel jarring, so be mindful to land softly and avoid over-relying on your heels to walk more naturally.
