Merrell Speedarc Matis LTR WP Hiking Shoe - Women's Muted Sage, 8.5

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took these out on a few wet, mixed-terrain hikes, and they handled everything from muddy sections to rocky stretches really well. The grip feels solid, and the cushioning keeps things comfortable even on longer days.""When the trail throws everything from slick dirt to uneven rock our way, the Speedarc Matis LTR WP Hiking Shoe is the kind of footwear we trust to keep things steady. Whether we’re heading out for a full day hike or navigating changing terrain after a storm, it brings the confidence we need to keep moving forward. Built with a waterproof membrane, it seals out moisture while still allowing breathability through long efforts. The leather and mesh upper balances durability with airflow, while a molded TPU heel and padded collar add structure and comfort where it matters most. Underfoot, a responsive EVA foam footbed pairs with a lightweight midsole and FlexPlate technology to deliver stability without sacrificing flexibility. A Vibram MegaGrip outsole provides reliable traction across wet and dry surfaces, giving us the grip we need when conditions get unpredictable."
