Overview

Weekend hikers who also want a shoe for errands get a low top Merrell with a suede and mesh upper and a soft, removable EVA footbed. The rubber sole adds trail grip without the stiffness of a boot.

Heavy cushioning and a breathable upper keep it comfortable on easy trails and long days on pavement. Mesh panels and no water resistance make it a dry weather shoe.

Who it's for

Day hikers, travellers and walkers who favor cushioning and a sneaker feel. Backpackers on rough or wet terrain need a waterproof boot with ankle support.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Breathable mesh lining
  • Low top for easy movement
Cons
  • Not water resistant
  • No ankle support
  • Sizing guidance not listed

Performance notes

EVA foam compresses to absorb impact, which makes long walks comfortable but packs down over many miles. Mesh lets heat escape, and the same openings let water in. A removable footbed allows swapping in a preferred insert.
