Merrell Antora 2 Women's Trail Running Shoes
Featuring sneaker-light comfort and confidence-boosting support and traction, Antora 2 is uniquely tailored to women ready to find themselves in places they've dared to look.
Breathable Mesh Upper
The Merrell Antora 2 Women's Trail Running Shoe is constructed using a mesh and TPU upper and with a breathable mesh lining; the mesh allows air to fully permeate the upper providing a supply of cool, fresh air whilst simultaneously forcing out hot, muggy air that resides in the shoe during heavy exertion. The bonded InvisibleFit constructed upper offers lightweight, breathable protection that fits and feels like an unprotected shoe, for full protection whilst out on the trail without compromising quick footing. A breathable mesh lining works with M-Select FRESH antimicrobial agents to keep you feeling cooler and fresher for longer; the antimicrobial agents reside in the shoe lining and materials preventing sweat and moisture from affecting the freshness of your shoe by penetrating and disrupting the reproduction of the odour-causing microbes in your shoes. The hyperlock TPU Film Heel Counter combined with the traditional lace closure system provides a secure fit locking the foot into the shoe and anchoring to the midsole to reduce in-shoe slippage for quick descents and sharp turns.
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. An air cushion also features in the midsole to provide shock absorption and stability. The air cushion features in the heel to reduce stress on the foot with each step; this, in turn, lessens the impact during heel strikes and helps to cradle the heel to maintain proper alignment. Completing the midsole is a kinetic fit base removable insole which provides flexible support for all-day wear. Contoured to your foot, the insole provides flexible intuitive support for connected and protected movements. Designed to gently support the foot in key areas of the foot to encourage muscles to stay in a relaxed athletic position. this helps to reduce fatigue.
Vibram Outsole
Designed with Vibram TC5+ these shoes are designed for those who want a challenge; with the best combination of traction and durability, these trail running shoes are perfect for slippery and challenging terrain. The high-performance rubber compound offers grip and traction on wet and dry surfaces in the most extreme temperatures and with the outsole design boasting no lugs underneath the arch, your foot is encouraged to flex more naturally with greater comfort - the ideal shoe for demanding activity.
