Vasque Shoes: Men's Mercury Trail Running Shoe

Very similar to the award winning Vasque Blur Trail Running Shoe, the Vasque Men's Mercury Trail Running Shoe offers the same great underfoot support but uses synthetic leather in place of microfiber in the upper. Although the shoe still feels nimble on paved stretches this does add three ounces to the overall weight. Still, the synthetic leather does enhance stability and provide greater protection in cold weather and on rough trails. The Vasque Mercury Trail Running Shoe's ride is characterized as soft and cushioned yet is sturdy enough that it does not collapse underneath the arch. To accomplish this Vasque uses a molded EVA midsole with an integrated plate of nylon textile. This softens the blow of repeated heel strike, while at the same time gives the shoe enough rigidity to provide a stable platform when dodging a low-hanging branch or dancing across a boulder strewn streambed. For those who are up and running before the sun rises, reflective trim gives the Vasque Men's Mercury Trail Running Shoe a high level of visibility for passing cars.
