MERRELL MOAB 3 APEX MID WATERPROOF M BLACK [Men's]

Since its release in 2007, MERRELL's masterpiece "MOAB" series has sold over 28 million pairs worldwide and continues to lead the hiking scene. A high performance model with updated technology and dedicated to challengers who aim to go one step further in tough environments. “APEX” means “apex,” and we chose the name to ensure that it performs well in any environment and continues to lead the hiking scene.
While inheriting the design from the first generation MOAB, we have adopted a design that covers the ankle more than the mid-length type (ankle length) of the regular line, improving support. In addition, the upper is a combination of durable, water-repellent full-grain leather and 100% recycled mesh, and is equipped with Merrell's proprietary moisture-permeable and waterproof membrane. The midsole uses EVA cushioning foam with excellent rebound resilience, Merrell Air Cushion, a proprietary technology that absorbs heel shock and stabilizes walking, and a Lock Plate that protects the foot from thrusts from the ground. This supports smooth and comfortable walking. The outsole uses Merrell's exclusive Vibram TC5+, which boasts excellent durability and grip in the outdoor field. As a sustainable action promoted by MERRELL, the shoelaces, webbing, lining, and footbed cover are made from 100% recycled materials.
