Obligatory photos of us sitting inside the unassembled glovebox halves. As far as we can tell, no shoeprints were left behind prior to joining the halves. We observed that Vigor gloveboxes have two gaskets in the middle seam, with an inert gas line between the gaskets. This is an interesting design choice, as it seems to give the glovebox a way to blanket the seam with a positive pressure of the working/inert gas.
