Speed Eco Hiking Shoe - Men's

EVA, or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, is a lightweight foam material used in footwear for cushioning and support. It provides excellent comfort, making it ideal for hiking shoes that need to absorb impact and reduce fatigue during long walks. Our shoes feature 50% recycled EVA, which not only enhances comfort but also helps minimize environmental impact.

Lugs are the raised patterns on the sole of a shoe that provide traction and grip on various surfaces. Our hiking shoes come with 4mm lugs, which are designed to enhance stability and prevent slipping on uneven terrain. This feature is crucial for maintaining balance and safety while hiking.

The "drop" refers to the height difference between the heel and the toe of the shoe. A 10mm drop means the heel is 10 millimeters higher than the toe. This design can influence your posture and running style, providing more cushioning for heel strikers and promoting a more natural foot position for midfoot or forefoot runners.

Synthetic upper material is made from man-made substances rather than natural materials like leather. Our shoes use 77% recycled synthetic materials, which not only offer durability and weather resistance but also contribute to a more sustainable product. This choice helps reduce waste and supports eco-friendly practices.

Eco-friendly products are designed to have a minimal environmental impact. Our Merrell Speed Eco Hiking Shoes are made with recycled materials, which helps reduce waste and conserve resources. By choosing these shoes, you are making a sustainable choice that supports environmental conservation while enjoying your outdoor activities.

The combination of EVA cushioning, synthetic upper materials, and strategically designed lugs work together to enhance comfort and performance. The EVA provides lightweight cushioning, the synthetic upper offers durability and breathability, and the lugs ensure excellent traction. Together, these features create a shoe that supports your feet during long hikes while keeping them comfortable and secure.
