Merrell Unisex's Alverstone Hiking Shoe, US

Product Information

Merrell launched the Alverstone style with M Select™ GRIP, which is durable yet has less traction than Moab 2. Foot padding, zonal arches, heel relief, ergonomic form, total arch coverage, improved heel stabilization, smell management, and a sustainable design with recycled EVA are all Kinetic Fit™ ADVANCED insoles. Still, if you’re after something more budget-friendly, then the Columbia Redmond III waterproof hiking shoe is a good choice. being the stiffest, we found this stiff heel works well at keeping our feet from moving around in the shoe - bye-bye blisters!

After extensive tests in the lab and hours spent hiking, we found that nothing can beat the Merrel Moab 3 GTX when it comes to comfort! Merrell Alverstone serves as the perfect hiking boots for the newbies, while Moab 2 is famous among expert outdoor activists. Other features that make these low-cut hikers easy include a traditional closure system, a bellows tongue to keep debris out and a pull tab on the collar’s back for quick on and off. In its second version, the Moab 2 Mid-hiker also boasts excellent cushioning, durability, and good traction for groomed trails or everyday wear. You can check the stiffness and stability of a Merrell hiking shoe by squeezing around the shoe's heel and twisting the shoe.Merrell built the Moab 2 using materials like GORE-TEX® waterproof membrane, making it ideal for trekking in every weather, including rain, storms, and rough topography. This memorable outsole design tunes each outsole with durable traction with grips available when necessary- be it rough territory or regular pavement. Merrell created this style with Vibram® TC5+ to deliver all-around grip, traction, and durability for outdoor activities to casual wear. Boasting an upper comprising rugged suede leather overlays, mesh panels and the M Select Dry membrane combines comfort and durability. Being comfortable on the trail is a dream with a lightweight design, little to no wear-in time and superb breathability.

In contrast with Moab 2, Alverstone Waterproof comes with the M Select™ DRY impermeable membrane to protect the wearer from water leakage at water bodies.It’s not the easiest to find a lightweight hiker that does as much as the Merrell does, so there’s no surprise the Merrell Alverstone Waterproof is so popular among hikers.
