Merrell Gore-Tex - Take All Terrain in Your Stride

Merrell have been producing high quality footwear for over 25 years, and now produce a shoe for all occasions, be it every day casual wear or for extreme outdoor sports.  Merrell produce shoes for all seasons, with rugged winter boots, highly comfortable multi-sport trainers, and an increasing range of Merrell sandals for the summer.  However in order to give the maximum possible performance in the most challenging of environments, Merrell have teamed up with Gore-Tex to produce a range of waterproof and wind proof shoes.

The Merrell Gore-Tex treatment in their trainers and walking boots creates a totally waterproof seal, with the uppers totally impermeable to external water, whilst remaining perfectly breathable to allow the escape of moisture.  A bellows tongue completes a totally waterproof seal, which gives the freedom to walk anywhere and in all conditions. Debris and dirt are kept out of the shoes to prevent irritation, and a rugged Vibram sticky rubber tread pattern with multi-directional lugs makes light work of mud and slippery wet surfaces.

Purchasing one of the Merrell Gore-Tex versions of their trainer range offers winter protection with a lightweight and highly comfortable design.  When urban life gets decidedly wetter, Merrell Gore-Tex trainers are just as good for traversing pavements as they are on the trail. The tread pattern is designed to offer great grip in soft and loose terrain, whilst the shoes are highly supportive and well cushioned for hard packed trails and urban travel.

Merrell Gore-Tex boots bring the level of foot protection up to the highest level, with an extensive range of waterproof mid-boots. Using the technology from their trainers, the boots are incredibly lightweight, flexible, yet provide the right degree of support and stability for uneven ground. Designed for the worst of the weather, they feature a Gore-Tex gasket to keep them 100% water and wind proof, yet remain highly breathable to let steam escape, keeping your feet dry and free from sweat.

By offering a Merrell Gore-Tex model in most of their popular trainer and boot styles, ranges, you will be spoilt for choice when selecting your shoes. Merrell Gore-Tex shoes and boots usually have an GTX or XCR notation if they feature the full Merrell Gore-Tex gasket, otherwise they offer a Gore-Tex lining. If you do not plan on using the shoes extensively for wet weather walking, then the Gore-Tex lined Models are a better choice, retaining the waterproofing, whilst keeping the shoes lighter and more flexible. 

Whether you want Gore-Tex waterproofing or super lightweight summer shoes, Merrell shoes have the technology to ensure your feet are kept in the height of comfort, whatever the weather has in store.
