The Merrell FST MOAB 2 GORE-TEX Walking Shoes are highly versatile, lightweight, and packable, the perfect go-to walking shoe for quick day trips and adventures.
EVA Midsole
The midsole has been constructed using different technologies to ensure long-lasting comfort and increased cushioning. EVA within the midsole offers supreme cushioning and support to key areas like the arch and heel, holding the foot securely in place for a smoother transition and wear. By supporting these key areas of the foot, the midsole material can also help to offer enough support to help prevent discomfort and possible injury. Rest your feet on an ECO blended, EVA contoured footbed with organic odour control. Underfoot cushioning with each step you take. Odour control means offensive smells are kept at bay and your shoes stay fresh for longer. A moulded nylon arch shank provides you with lightweight support and stability; reducing the load sustained by the feet and calves over the course of an ascent. Completing the midsole is an air cushion which provides shock absorption and stability. The air cushion features in the heel to reduce stress on the foot with each step; this, in turn, lesses the impact during heel strikes and helps to cradle the heel to maintain proper alignment.
Vibram Megagrip
Designed to provide peerless grip on wet and dry surfaces. This high-performance rubber compound gifts you with an unparalleled grip on wet and dry surfaces, rugged longevity and optimal ground adaptability. Unlike other Vibram outsoles, predator features a gum rubber component on the heel and forefoot to ensure added traction and stability. The Vibram rubber is built for extremely slippery terrain as it can form a solid bond with the ground to anchor you in place. Despite facing abuse from rough ground, the rubber stands up against this, deflecting the blows and retaining a strong shape and structure. Providing you with excellent grip and traction, these walking shoes will be an excellent addition to any mountaineering enthusiast.
