Performance

A good pair of hiking shoes should fit perfectly to provide the best performance. These shoes from Merrell offer good mesh and leather exterior that fit well and are also breathable. With the compression molded EVA midsole and the heel air cushion, you get great comfort when running. The shoe has a 1 inch heel with the platform measuring 0.5 inches. The external TPU heel counter and the underfoot trail protect pad provide great arch support. Also check out the Intex Excursion Pro Kayak if shoes aren’t enough.

Design

The Merrell Grassbow Air shoes feature an eye catchy design and are available in four colourways. The outer is mostly made up of ultra-breathable fabric mesh, but also has 100 percent leather. The midsole is chunky and made from EVA, while the outsole provides good grip and uses synthetic rubber. A rubber toe guard is also included for protection. This is a dry weather shoe, which means that it isn’t waterproof. Want something waterproof? Take a look at the Marchway Floating Waterproof Dry Bag.

The EVA midsole is comfortable, while the mesh fabric on the outsole will keep your feet well ventilated. Although they can be a little expensive when compared to other shoes, they are well built.
