Merrell Women's Chameleon Arc Traveller Brown Shoe

Brand Info

What began in the Green Mountains in Vermont, now roams the world. For more than 26 years, Merrell has been providing outdoor enthusiasts with quality performance footwear.

As the needs of the outdoor enthusiasts have changed, so too has Merrell's approach to addressing those needs. Over time, the concept of "outdoor" has broadened to include all types of activities and environments - both natural and urban. Merrell is driven to keep pace with this evolution of "The New Outdoor," and continues to evolve, and they recently added high perfomance socks to their range.

Through years of testing, Merrell has designed specific lasts for men and women taking into consideration the different ways our feet are constructed. This has proved to be one of the winning formula's of Merrell footwear and what makes it one of the best outdoor brands around.

Technology Explained

Insole

Each Merrell style has a Flex Insole System Technology - F.I.S.T

This is a specific flexible insole which is integral to the performance of the boot or shoe. The insole adds a structural integrity and torsional rigidity to the style. The insole helps stabilze the foot and keep it from twisting on uneven terrain. The length and thickness depends on the style and provides a comfortable walking motion.

Fit

Merrell specifically design a separate last for Women and Men so that the fit is the most comfortable and stable.

Product Comment : Brilliant, a proper walking boot! These boots are not only super comfy but very stylish too. I sometimes get very bad blisters after long walks but these boots have plenty of room in the toe so Ive not had any since I got them.
How did they fit ? Size was perfect
