I saw a pre production sample of the Merrell Vapor Glove mid 2012 and immediately though that here was a barefoot shoe that was a bit special. So I have been waiting in anticipation for our stock to arrive. It came in yesterday and fully lived up to my high expectations!
I’ve just returned from a relaxing week of warmth and sun in Morocco. A holiday in Agadir on the Atlantic coast with little to do but sun bathe and stay fit. The boardwalk along the beach was an inviting place to run every day in idyllic conditions watching the surf break on the sandy beach and I went out every day for a run of about 4 miles. I took with me two pairs of barefoot running shoes; Saucony Hattori LC and VivoBarefoot Breezy Lite. I rate both highly, they are both zero drop with a nice wide forefoot. But they differ greatly as the Breezy Lite has a thin sole made of a hard TPU rubber and the Saucony Hattori has a soft thicker sole made of EVA rubber. So the Breezy Lite is among the least cushioned shoes you can get your hands on and the Hattori is the most cushioned shoe we sell. So why does the Breezy Lite get my vote?
I have recently completed my video review of the VivoBarefoot Breezy Lite shoe. If you run on road, pavement or a treadmill then in my opinion this is the best VivoBarefoot shoe for you to date.
