Using the Women's Merrell Vapor Glove 6 is easy. Just slip your feet in and start your trail running or training session. These shoes are designed for a bare - foot like feel, so you'll enjoy maximum connection with the ground. When wearing them, make sure your feet are clean and dry to avoid any discomfort. As for maintenance, you can gently hand - wash the breathable mesh upper with mild soap and water. Let them air dry naturally. Avoid putting them in the dryer as it may damage the mesh and the outsole. Also, check the outsole regularly for any signs of excessive wear. If the grip starts to fade, it might be time to replace your shoes to ensure safety during your runs.
