These lightweight sporty low-tops marry Merrell’s proven Alpine silhouette with modern features and materials. On the outside, there’s suede leather and recycled textile layers on the upper part of the shoe, with a rubber outsole that’s aggressively patterned for traction and stylish footprints. Inside, there’s a removable EVA foam midsole, recycled microfiber lining, and recycled mesh footbed cover. They don’t have the ankle support or cushioning to scale a steep mountain, but they’re more than enough for walks around town or casual flat hikes on easy terrain.
“The shoes are comfortable and durable,” one reviewer wrote. “The grip on the ground is good. We have had snow here lately, and I have not slipped.” What’s more, “the ladies have noticed them,” and these shoes have attracted lots of compliments, an experience lots of other reviewers mentioned as well.
