MERRELL Refuge Pro Ventilator GORE-TEX Men's Hiking Shoes

Part of the Merrell Outventure range, these shoes are geared towards performance on a variety of terrain. The low profile outsole and lug design are brilliant for street to trail feel and the cushioning absorbs shock and provides protection.

The Vibram outsole lug patterns provide stability in all conditions. There are no lugs under the arch so your foot flexes more naturally for greater comfort.

This shoe utilises Aegis microbe shield to block odour with a more aggressive approach. It uses polymer spikes to rupture the cell walls of odour-producing microbes. This technology will not wear out, even through repeated washes, and won't harm the environment.

The Ortholite comfort foam insole provides comfort longer than any footbed because of its open cell polyurethane construction. The open cell structure also allows odour and blister-causing moisture to evaporate.

The shoe also features ever-reliable GORE-TEX technology. Nothing ensures warmth, dry protection, while still remaining breathable, like GORE-TEX products. This repels water and moisture while allowing the shoe to breathe, making it ideal for cold days where insulation is required as well as warmer environments to keep your feet cool.
