We integrate proprietary systems into every pair. The Merrell Air Cushion in the heel absorbs shock and adds stability. Our M-Select™ FRESH technology utilises natural odour-control agents to keep shoes smelling fresher, longer. The Kinetic Fit™ BASE removable insole provides structured support and adaptable cushioning.We partner with leading sole manufacturers like Vibram® to create outsoles tailored for specific environments. Deep, multi-directional lugs provide exceptional grip on loose and slippery surfaces, while high-abrasion rubber compounds ensure long-lasting wear, a crucial feature for UK weather and landscapes.Understanding the British weather is in our design brief. A vast selection of our shoes features Merrell M-Select™ DRY waterproof membranes (akin to GORE-TEX®), which seal out water while allowing internal perspiration to escape, keeping feet dry during sudden showers and on dew-covered morning walks.Merrell shoes are built on specific lasts (foot forms) designed for activity. This results in a more natural fit, with adequate room in the toe box and strategic support through the midfoot and heel. Combined with cushioned collars and tongue systems, this reduces hotspots and blister potential.Merrell is on a path to create more sustainable products. Our collection includes styles made with recycled materials, eco-conscious leathers, and biodegradable components, allowing you to make a responsible choice for the outdoors you love to explore.
