Tempo Sol Hiking Shoe - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I reached for the Tempo Sol on a casual half-day hike where I knew I would be on my feet well after the trail ended, and it delivered all day. The suede and mesh upper breathed well in the heat, and at just over ten ounces the shoe felt like almost nothing on my foot."

Not every adventure calls for a heavy boot, and the Merrell Tempo Sol Hiking Shoe was designed for exactly those days when you want something nimble, breathable, and ready to keep pace with wherever the morning takes you. The suede leather and mesh upper gives you enough structure for a real trail without the stiffness of a more aggressive hiker, so moving from dirt paths to sidewalks to lunch spots feels completely natural. A padded collar and traditional lace closure keep the fit snug and comfortable no matter how long you stay on your feet.

Underfoot, Merrell kept things light and responsive with an EVA foam midsole and a rubber outsole with a 4mm lug pattern that handles loose dirt and uneven ground without feeling overcomplicated. The 10mm drop and 34mm stack height put you in a confident, grounded position on the trail, while Cleansport NXT odor control and a lineup of recycled materials mean the shoe takes care of the details so you can stay focused on the day ahead.
