Merrell is undoubtedly a brand with a solid commitment to getting people outdoors, no matter who you are. Each Merrell hiking shoe reviewed in this article is made with synthetic materials or a mix of synthetic and leather.

The American outdoor footwear brand provides a wide range of walking shoes, hiking boots and walking sandals, covering all seasons and all surfaces. Moab 2 has insoles with odor control and a shock-absorbing design to make the wearer comfortable during extended hours. Of course, when you go budget, you often lose on performance and durability, but there’s still plenty good to be said about this dependable hiking shoe. With that said, Gore-tex is one of the best fabrics for doing both– keeping water out of your shoe from rain and other forms of precipitation while letting heat escape and moisture evaporate from within. Accidental bumps and humps from stone and boulders are also no issue with the sole’s front end shields that protect the toes.

Such features are absent in Merrell Alverstone, as Merrell created this style for hiking typical trails- rather than harsher surfaces and water bodies.We performed extensive lab analyses and took all our Merrell shoes on test hikes to find out which was the most breathable. A design aimed at comfort, performance and water-resistant lets you keep on doing what you love, adventuring. They feature Gore-Tex technology to allow the skin to breathe and stay dry and a moulded sole for grip. Abrasion-resistant toe cap ensures that the shock of the fall is dispersed all over the feet, and it takes less damage than standard hiking boots. It’s not the easiest to find a lightweight hiker that does as much as the Merrell does, so there’s no surprise the Merrell Alverstone Waterproof is so popular among hikers.
