The agile Verterra shoe is designed to fit and feel like a sneaker, yet deliver heightened hiking-specific trail responsiveness, durability and fleet-footed comfort. Innovative Stratafuse technology produces a low bulk, lightweight upper that creates a glove-like fit, while the durable MBound TRK midsole delivers instant ground feedback for precise, confident navigation over rocks, roots and mud. The Merrell Omni-Fit lacing System provides a precise, glove-like fit with protective TPU rand and toecap, and EVA removable footbed. M Select FRESH naturally prevents odor before it starts for fresh smelling feet. It has a 4mm drop / 10mm cush / 21.5mm stack height, 4mm lug depth, and molded nylon arch shank. M Select GRIP tunes each outsole with durable traction that grips when and where you need it.
