Merrell Shoes: Men's Chameleon II Stretch Hiking Shoe

If going fast on trails is second nature, the easy-fitting Chameleon II Stretch is second skin. Built with more reinforcement material along the upper than most trail running shoes, Merrell's easy-access trail shoe features extra comfort and fit features like an elastic cord lacing system and convenient friction cordlock. Above the impact-absorbing Air Cushion® midsole is a contoured 4.5-mm. anatomical footbed backed by a supportive nylon 6.6 injection molded arch shank. The Vibram® Chameleon Sport™ sole looks narrower than some bulky hiking shoes, but Merrell divided the high traction sole between long-lasting Dura rubber lugs and grippy Versa rubber lugs for reliable hold on a range of surfaces. If you're looking for some extra weather protection, consider checking out the waterproof and breathable Merrell Chameleon II Gore-Tex® XCR® shoe.
