Vapor Glove Series

Merell Vapor Glove for ever. (Always the "last year" model, to keep it cheap, they also became my "casual" shoes.)

Merrell wrapt are nice, i tried the merrell vapor glove too but i like how the wrapt are a little more rigid. Just wish the outsole lasted a bit longer. But i do walk on concrete a lot with them.

Over the years I’ve worn trail runners from Merrill and Salomon, or standard running shoes from Nike and NB. A comfortable fit was the main criteria. Even on wet ground I’d rather have fast drying sneakers than boots.

I've started off with the 6's. Great show wear it daily and run with it, but similarly looking to make the altar shift for a little more comfort / support.... Recurring bursitis is not fun

Merrell Vapor Gloves might do it for you if you already like Merrell.

Have had the 3s for ages, now got the 6s, my favourite shoe ever I think, just bang on in every respect (for the majority of the year).

I have medium - wide flat feet and love them. Half a size up (so usually UK10/eu44, but 10.5/45 in these. They are my favourite trail runners yet. Edit: pictured is Trail Glove, I have Vapor Glove which looks almost identical. Would assume similar fit but couldn't say for certain.

Pedals: whatever is cheap and in stock at my LBS. Right now I'm rocking Bontrager yellow plastic whatever's on my tourer and Wellgo aluminum whatevers with those little Allen key studs on my hard tail. Does my shoe stick? Does it spin? Is it greaseable? That's all I care about. For shoes I just wear whatever I have on, most commonly a set of trail running shoes. I take Merrell Barefoots for touring specifically, mostly because of their ease of washing, light weight, and versatility. Don't overthink it.
