Merrell J87316 Women's Grey/Periwinkle Moab Mid Gore-Tex XCR Hiker Shoes no one has to know that the stylized blue uppers are made with waterproof leather and airy mesh. The mesh keeps skin cool and ventilated, the waterproof leather keeps them dry and warm. The bellows tongue design keeps rocks, dirt and other debris out of your shoes, because that stuff doesn't belong in there. Synthetic leather on the toe cap and heel counter help guard against scuffing.The Gore-Tex lining inside is breathable and treated with Aegis antimicrobial protection, preventing bacteria and odors. Ortholite anatomical footbeds are contoured to fit the slopes and bends in your feet, giving you support for every curve. Speaking of curves, molded nylon shanks lift and support your arches to prevent muscle strain. Nylon shanks are not made with metal, so they are more lightweight but every bit as strong. Lightweight EVA foam has been compression-molded to create a cushioning frame for every step. An air cushioning pocket has even been put in the heel to absorb the shock from painful foot strike. Merrell's QForm midsole is specially designed to cushion the impact that occurs to legs between the hip and knee, the Q angle that every woman has. The Vibram soles are made with a deep-cut, 5 mm lug depth to provide tough gripping traction and increase braking power. The design gives you overall control over your steps. These pretty blue Merrell J87316 Women's Grey/Periwinkle Moab Mid Gore-Tex XCR Hiker Shoes look feminine, like you, but they're also tough like you. Sizes Manufactured: Medium 5 - 11
