Merrell Men's Zion Hiking Shoe

Product Information

As for the lugs, Merrell made it a priority to use a shape with straighter edges that can better bite into surfaces. They were very lightweight too (lighter than many other pairs of approach shoes I’ve owned in the past), which made me feel fast, light and nimble on my feet. Gore invests heavily in field testing to understand end user needs which allows Gore to provide the GORE-TEX® GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ promise. The insole is a removable, contoured Kinetic Fit insole, which Merrell says provides ‘flexible support’ to your foot, while the outsole is a Vibram Megagrip sole with a 5mm lug depth.

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Paclite® product technology is the ideal solution for hiking, golf, travel and other activities where space and weight are critical. There is a protective rubber toe cap, keeping your toes safe on rocky terrain and enabling some basic jamming of your shoe into cracks and crevices while scrambling; and the metal eyelets, webbing loops and stability arm are more than adequate for a lacing system.This allows your toes to splay naturally but, in this case, it would be nice to have a way of reducing the volume for those with narrower feet. Accordingly, it’s earned a permanent spot on our packing list for trips when we know we’ll be visiting both towns or cities and wild landscapes. This Agreement may be amended by us at any time and from time to time without specific notice to you.

These men's Zion shoes feature a trainer inspired silhouette and while the fit looks casual, the technology included ensures these shoes are suitable for all outdoor adventures. In terms of the Zion’s structural composition, Merrell use the same build platform found in their trail running shoes, thus providing the sneaker-like feel. Merrell's new Zion mid walking boots are almost impossibly lightweight but are they any good at hacking through muddy trails? Megagrip is softer and tackier than many other rubber compounds, making it better at glomming and holding onto uneven and slick surfaces. Online Exclusive items cannot be delivered to the Channel Islands, Isle of man or the Isle of Wight.They allow us to adapt the presentation of our site, using in particular the A/B testing solution Dynamic Yield. Merrell want the Zion GTXs to provide the best of both worlds: the snug fit and comfort of a trainer, but all of the protection and prowess of a hiking shoe. For the record, the same is true for all the membranes and boots we’ve tested, so the advantage of skipping the Gore-Tex label comes in the savings. Unfortunately, these qualities make it wear down more quickly, though our pair is still in good shape. TPU material for optimal stiffness at one end of the plate and maximum flexibility at the other end.

Cold weather, an increase in weight, blisters: very often, as soon as your feet get wet, the activity stops being so fun. We’ve been wearing the Zion since it was released in the fall, and it’s one of the few hiking boots in our closet that we find stylish enough to use in casual settings.Built on a trail running platform for a trainer-like fit, it provides comfort and style from the word go. And with enough space between the lugs, debris falls off the shoe instead of collecting and interfering with the grip. The Merrells definitely aren’t as cutting edge or in vogue as those other two brands’ offerings, but the logic is the same.

The upper of the shoe is made from a waterproof full-grain leather combined with a ballistic, breathable mesh lining, while the tongue has a ‘bellow’ design – a wide-folding tongue attached at the sides to the upper – to keep debris (and water) out.As well as the daily information about new sales linked to my subscription to the club, I would also like to receive Special Offers by e-mail (new releases, welcome offers, special promotions and competitions). By removing the traditional external face fabric breathability is maximised while sweat accumulation and weight is reduced. The boot is ready for any hiking trail – whether it is through fields, on a path or on muddy or rocky terrain. The protective rubber toe cap meant my toes were safe from stumbles and bumps, and I was thoroughly impressed by the undercut heel to help braking on the way downhill.
