Waterproof PU Coated Upper
M-Select dry kick starts this walking shoe off with an impermeable membrane that seals out water and lets moisture escape. This unique technology provides outside protection when you're on the move. M-Select Dry products shed external moisture from precipitation and wet ground conditions while allowing moisture from physical activity to escape to give you dry comfort inside and out. Furthermore, the upper offers a waterproof PU coated leather and mesh to provide superb weather protection, ventilation and durability.
The upper is based on mesh and leather that enhance ventilation and stability. The mesh allows air to fully permeate the upper providing a constant supply of fresh, cool air while simultaneously forcing out hot, muggy air. The leather adds durability as well as enhancing the structural integrity, providing protection on uneven terrain. Other features on the upper include metal hooks and lacing eyelets which offer secure lacing, while a bellows tongue keeps debris out of the shoes.
Furthermore, a protective toe cap provides extreme protection to the toes while on unpredictable terrain, protecting from rocks and other trail hazards. Long-lasting M-Select Fresh prevents sweat and moisture from affecting the freshness of your shoes. Merrell's antimicrobial agents penetrate and disrupt the reproduction of the odour causing microbes that ensure your shoes stay fresher for longer.
