Merrell MQM 3 Leather GORE-TEX Walking Shoes
This version of the MQM 3, which stands for moving quickly over mountains, features a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, a rich suede upper, recycled laces, and a Vibram outsole for confidence with every step.
Suede Leather Upper
The Merrell MQM 3 is built with a suede leather upper. This luxurious, soft, supple upper is incredibly comfortable, durable and breathable, perfect for any adventures you take them on. The advanced GORE-TEX membrane allows vapour and moisture to escape from the shoe inner, whilst simultaneously protecting the foot from water ingress, for happy, dry, comfortable feet. The GORE-TEX membrane is designed to protect your feet from water, whilst feeling so lightweight you hardly notice you're wearing a shoe at all. A bellows tongue prevents dirt, debris and water from entering the shoe while the lace-to-toe lacing system ensures an incredibly secure, stable fit that can take on whatever the trail throw at it. Complete with a protective TPU toe cap to protect your feet from rocks, debris and other potential hazards out in the elements, so you can go forth confidently and comfortably.
EVA Midsole
The midsole has been constructed using EVA to ensure long-lasting comfort and increased cushioning. The EVA 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.
Vibram TC5+ Outsole
Developed to provide traction and grip, the MQM 3 GORE-TEX has been constructed using a Vibram TC5+ rubber outsole. Multi-directional lugs feature on the outsole which ensures optimal traction and grip on varied terrains ensuring confident footing. The durable rubber provides a strong grip on the most challenging terrain; it works to protect itself from damage, and protect users from losing control and slipping. It is also highly durable meaning no matter what you throw at it, the MQM will perform time and time again. The outsole enables confidence in the most extreme trail environments to keep you grounded at all times. Completing the outsole is a rock plate which provides added underfoot protection. The rock plate protects the feet from rocks and harsh terrain, so you can focus on your adventures.
