Merrell Maipo Explorer Aerosport Trail Shoe - Men's Caramel, 10.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""These shoes are perfect for summer hikes where you’re in and out of water. They drain fast, breathe even faster, and the sticky rubber outsole grips surprisingly well on wet rock. The FLEXconnect midsole makes them feel agile and stable, and they dry quickly enough that I don’t think twice about splashing through streams."" We reach for the Merrell Maipo Explorer Aerosport Trail Shoe when our summer plans take us from dusty paths to riverbanks and everything in between. The breathable synthetic-and-mesh upper dries quickly after creek crossings, while recycled materials throughout the design reduce environmental impact without compromising performance. A bellows tongue keeps out grit and debris as we move from trail to shoreline, and the removable EVA footbed adds cushioned comfort for long days on our feet. Underfoot, FLEXconnect dual-directional grooves give us a more natural connection to uneven terrain, adding confidence when moving over rocks, roots, or flowing water. Lightweight EVA in the midsole keeps things responsive, and the sticky rubber outsole grips reliably on wet and dry surfaces alike. For warm-weather hiking and everyday outdoor adventure, the Maipo Explorer Aerosport delivers breathable comfort, fast-draining performance, and trustworthy traction."
