Merrell Maipo Explorer Aerosport Walking Shoes

Discover unmatched breathability with the Maipo Explorer Aerosport. Designed with a ventilated mesh upper and quick-dry materials, plus an innovative lug pattern that lets water escape for better contact, it's perfect for hot days and unexpected water escapades.

Ventilated Mesh Upper

The upper has been crafted from a synthetic mesh for fast-drying breathability to keep your feet dry and comfortable. It allows built-up heat and vapour to escape with ease and fresh air to flow in for a pleasant sensation. Enhanced protection is provided by a bellows tongue that keeps out debris and a traditional lacing system allows you to find the perfect fit.

EVA Midsole

The midsole is made from a lightweight EVA foam which offers support and stability. It delivers cushioned comfort, attenuating shock as you strike down to protect your joints and muscles. This energy is then converted into rebound to keep you moving, allowing you to explore more of the great outdoors using less energy. Atop this, a removable EVA foam insole provides step-in cushioning and all-day comfort. FLEXconnect dual-directional flex-grooves in the midsole enhance ground connection and stability, helping you to move with greater proprioception.

Merrell Sticky Rubber Outsole

Merrell sticky rubber is used for the outsole of the Maipo Explorer Aerosport. It forms a solid bond with the ground beneath for great grip and confidence. The outsole lug pattern helps you gain purchase on varied terrain for greater traction. It also allows water to escape so you can hike the riverside without worries.
