Merrell Unisex's Alverstone Hiking Shoe, US

Product Information

Merrell has been making high-quality performance gear since 1981. What started as a business primarily focused on designing and manufacturing hiking boots has developed into one of the industry’s most trusted brand names, especially regarding hiking shoes. High cuffs provide stability, but only when the cuffs are noticeably stiff. If the cuff is soft and flexible, it may not provide any extra stability. Various materials go into the Merrell Alverstone Waterproof hiking shoes to make them reliable and comfortable. Boasting an upper comprising rugged suede leather overlays, mesh panels and the M Select Dry membrane combines comfort and durability. All applicable customs and import duties and any other charges are the responsibility of the customer.

To put it simply, comfort is subjective. In other words, what is comfortable for one person may not be comfortable for someone else. The durability of Merrel’s hiking shoes is related to material choice, the technology used, duration of use, terrain type, and how the shoes are stored. Merrell designed Moab 2 outsoles with extreme trekking, hiking, and trail running in consideration. Moab 2 Mid Ventilator Vibram® TC5+ outsole technology gives the wearer a confidence boost with every step from mountain trails to regular sidewalks. Merrell created this style with Vibram® TC5+ to deliver all-around grip, traction, and durability for outdoor activities to casual wear. Moab 2 has reinforced heel cushioning for medium support during prolonged wear. Coming in a range of whole and half sizes, it should be easy to find a size that fits. Although the men’s version comes in a wide, the women’s only comes in a standard size.

Moab 2 has advanced versions with Gore-Tex (Moab 2 Mid GORE-TEX) and waterproof technologies (Moab 2 Mid Waterproof). Such features are absent in Merrell Alverstone, as Merrell created this style for hiking typical trails- rather than harsher surfaces and water bodies. ➤ Merrell Alverstone vs Moab 2 – Design Comparison ✦ Material Handling ascents and descents are also no problem with the grooves added to the heel and forefoot. Accidental bumps and humps from stone and boulders are also no issue with the sole’s front end shields that protect the toes.

The cushioned midsole kept a spring in our step while out hiking. In the lab, we applied a durometer and found the midsole measures 36 HA. 9% firmer than average, it kept our feet protected from sharp objects, while still giving that cushioned feel which kept us going all day. If support in the ankle is what you need, the Moab 2 Mid waterproof is an excellent choice as more of a boot hiker. Like the Merrell Moab 2 hiking shoe, these hikers offer plenty of superior comforts, a lightweight feel, and a fair price.Merrell provides long-lasting hiking shoes at reasonable prices, with the Alverstone waterproof a prime example. As mentioned, the materials of this shoe are darn robust, resulting in a durable hiker.
