Bring on the Terrain: Merrell Zion Mid Hikers

Merrell’s new Zion Mid Waterproof hiking shoes boast a trail-runner platform so the fit is sneaker-like, and comfortable over diverse terrain. Meanwhile, the Vibram Megagrip outsole means a consistently aggressive grip. With Merrell’s Kinetic Fit BASE, the removable contoured insole delivers flexible support. The shoe includes Merrell’s FlexPlate technology, a lightweight, full-length stability plate with Vibram TC5 outsole pods for underfoot protection and durability.

The M Select DRY membrane locks out the rain while allowing internal moisture to evaporate. And the classic, faintly retro style is a standout in any setting.
