Merrell MQM 3 GORE-TEX Features

The Merrell MQM 3 GORE-TEX are the waterproof version of the third edition of one of the best-selling shoes of the American company. As its name suggests, "Moving Quickly in the Mountains", it is a shoe for fast walking in the mountains, which will even serve as an option for running in certain circumstances due to its lightness and dynamism.

They are hiking shoes with a very attractive design and colors, although their success does not depend on this alone. Cushioning, comfort and grip are the main arguments in favor of MQM 3 GORE-TEX, a model that offers the best of the best in terms of technology and materials for lovers of hiking on all types of trails and mountains.

Ideal user of the Merrell MQM 3 GORE-TEX

If there is something that makes this Merrell model different from others, it is its versatility and the possibility of using them both for walking and for sporadic running. Hence, they are designed for athletes who are used to walking at high paces and even have the habit of jogging on descents or negative slopes. Whatever the user's level, these are shoes for walking comfortably for hours, so covering long routes will not be a problem.

Due to its waterproof membrane its use will be more focused on cold climates or those days where the presence of rain and water is noticeable. We can even use them in snowy areas as long as we do not have to go through stretches of ice or very hard snow.

Technical specifications of the Merrell MQM 3 GORE-TEX

One of the most remarkable aspects of these Merrell MQM 3 is their great comfort and convenience. The combination of Merrell Air Cushion and Super Rebound Compound technologies provide great shock absorption from the heel area, in addition to adding greater stability in each step.

The presence of the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane prevents the entry of any external element, maintaining the natural state of the foot. However, the other components of the upper allow the foot to breathe and not overheat at any time. It incorporates a toe cap with protection that avoids any blow with roots and stones, something very common when walking in the mountains. It is worth mentioning the mesh lining, made from 100% recycled materials.

Merrell bets on the Vibram TC5+ rubber sole to guarantee a grip and traction worthy of mention in this hiking shoe for men and women. A compound with very good performance both on greasy terrain and in areas of stone and rock. If we look closely we can see how in the toe area there is a flat area. This is the "Climbing Zone", an area that allows us to introduce the front part of the foot in steep sections and even in climbs in exposed areas with the assurance that the foot does not slip.
