Since its beginnings in 1981 as an innovative boot company begun by hikers for hikers, Merrell has evolved its product collections to include a wide range of high quality footwear for taking on outdoor experiences in both natural and urban environments. Always on the cutting edge of technology, design, and style, Merrell’s focus remains to provide the most comfortable, highest quality footwear. Merrell brings a true spirit of adventure to all its footwear collections, from hiking boots to aftersport mocs to all-terrain sandals.
Upgraded features, superb fit, exclusive technologies, and state-of-the-art materials are just a few qualities that characterize Merrell footwear.
Merrell footwear is legendary for a perfect fit right out of the box. The company has invested considerably in research and technology to create an accurate and comfortable fit specially designed for the wearer – whether it’s a man, woman, or child.
Two essential and fundamental principles behind Merrell’s success are a willingness to invest in innovative technologies and the exclusive use of renowned materials like Vibram®, Polartec®, Thinsulate®, and Gore-Tex® to cushion, insulate, and waterproof its shoes and boots. This resourcefulness ensures that Merrell’s footwear offers the highest level of performance and comfort for every climate, condition, and landscape.
Found only in Merrell boots and shoes, the patented Merrell AirCushion midsole absorbs shock and enhances stability. This unique air cushion provides unparalleled support and padding as it compresses with each heel strike to absorb more than four times the wearer’s body’s weight. The AirCushion also keeps the heel centered in the shoe, working to stabilize the foot, for superior comfort and cushioning on pavement, and stability and control on the trail.
Exclusive and proprietary, these versatile designs take on trail and stream while promoting and enhancing traction. The Vibram® Chameleon Sport™ sole maintains durable and sturdy traction with trek and super trek rubber bottoms. Vibram® Multi-Sport™ Soles offer excellent grip and resilience with an innovative combination of rubber compounds. Featured on some of Merrell’s best-selling shoes and boots, the patented “Sticky Rubber” sole is constructed with a dual-density sticky rubber compound for maximum grip, increased durability, and longer wear. All of Merrell’s soles are shoe-specific designs to provide the best possible traction, support, and non-skid properties available for the shoe-type.
Today, hikers and trail walkers turn to Merrell for the most up-to-date technology, and the comfort and durability for which Merrell is famous. Upgraded features such as supportive backstays, contoured heel counters, and graded insoles are standard in Merrell’s hiking boots and shoes.
