Merrell MOAB FST Mid A/C Waterproof Junior Walking Boots

Offering comfort and protection for young and enthusiastic explorers, the Merrell MOAB FST Mid A/C Waterproof Junior Walking Boots are the perfect boots for long days outside.

M-Select Dry Upper

Constructed to block all moisture from entering the boots, the upper has a protective M-Select Dry bootie construction. This layer that surrounds the upper will prevent all moisture from entering the shoe and causing discomfort. With the moisture blocked out, any standing water will then be wicked away by the fabric, which will keep the boots feeling lightweight and comfortable. The upper is constructed from a blend of mesh and synthetic materials, and this will allow a constant flow of air in and out for exceptional breathability. Warm air will be removed, before it is replaced by cooler air from the outside of the boots. Thick material covers the toes for protection from any bumps or knocks you might receive on the trails. Similarly, the rearfoot is held in a strong and upright position for protection. Securing the fit of the boots is easy to do with both laces and a hook and loop strap. The laces are easy to tighten and loosen for a personalised fit all the way up the foot. For a secure and tight fit around the ankle, there is a hook and loop strap which can be adjusted on the move. A high rising padded ankle and tongue will remove the risk of irritation being caused by rubbing and chafing.

EVA Midsole

Offering great rebound and shock prevention, the EVA midsole is multi-functional and multi-beneficial. Covering the whole of the sole, with particular emphasis on vulnerable high-impact areas, the midsole is extremely thick and responsive. Shocks underfoot are absorbed and prevented from damaging the foot. The energy is reused as a downward force, which in turn provides a spring in your step. The flexibility of it also propels the foot when taking off. Directly beneath the foot, the shoe has a soft sock liner. As well as being extremely comfortable, this also applies the M-Select Dry technology, which wicks sweat and other moisture away keeping the foot dry.

Durable Outsole

The tough rubber used on the outsole is able to withstand the most challenging of surfaces, protecting itself from damage, and protecting the users from losing control and slipping over. Using M-Select Grip technology, the outsole delivers durable, highly slip-resistant stability on wet and dry ground and over mixed terrain. Multi-directional lugs also make control easier when moving as they dig into the ground, which helps all directions of movements and push-offs. The sloping protrusions mean that dirt is released making sure that it doesn't affect performance.
