Merrell All Out Crush 2 GORE-TEX Women's Trail Running Shoes
This fast and versatile shoe grips, drains and protects during the toughest of training challenges.A GORE-TEX upper guarantees a durable waterproofing.
GORE-TEX Invisible Fit Upper
With the GORE-TEX invisible fit technology, the membrane is engineered to bond to a variety of athletic uppers and reduces water pickup, meaning dry-ou time is 50% faster. The lighter construction reduces its weight by up to 18% and eliminates wrinkles and folds significantly reducing pressure marks. It also allows the liner to be dropped in the heel, eliminating stitching abrasion points along the ankle and down the heel. A reduced gusset height brings a more comfortable tongue construction with no irritation on the instep and a wide toe box delivers full freedom of movement in the toe area.
Additionally, the All Out Crush 2 is constructed with mesh and TPU fabrics. The mesh actively allows air to permeate the entire upper providing a constant supply of cool, fresh air while simultaneously forcing out hot, muggy air that resides in the upper during heavy exertion. The TPU overlays provide structure to the construction and add durability throughout. The overlays combine with the traditional lacing system to bring you a comfortable and snug fit, allowing you to concentrate on the training session you have planned. A lycra neoprene heel lining offers additional comfort where you would appreciate it most and works hard to eliminate rubbing and hot spots from occurring.
Trail protect EVA Midsole
The midsole features Merrell's TrailProtect technology that does what it says on the tin. The trail protect protects the foot from the sharp and hard terrain that you will be running on preventing you from ending your session early and provides additional support off road.
A full-length EVA midsole provides superb cushioning properties, absorbing the shock and impact forces that present themselves during the heel strike phase of the gait cycle. The midsole unit absorbs the shock and harnesses the energy that is created. From there the midsole then transfers the energy to the forefoot where it uses the harnessed energy to push you onto your next step.
M-Select Grip Outsole
The M-Select Grip is specifically tuned to match your activities. The M-Select Grip outsole roots itself in performance design and materials to deliver durable, highly slip-resistant traction on the wet and dry ground as well as over mixed terrain. The outsole also releases dirt and debris thanks to the specialised lugs.
The outsole compound is a tear resistant durable outsole that features a self-cleaning lug design, these features help the shoe grip to anything in any weather. The lugs are all over the outsole with some around the edges that grip for lateral movement and some that are angled allowing them to cut through any terrain.
