MERRELL Ladies Reactor Waterproof Mid Hiking Shoe

Multi-sport, quick-response design that gives no ground to tough terrain or harsh weather. A mid-cut height, along with M-wrap stability system, inhibits foot direction while Merrell waterproof construction in a waterproof nubuck leather upper with waterproof bellows tongue seals out the storm surge. Vibram Multi-Sport Plus sole recruits sipes, channels, traction-terraced lugs and cleats for exceptional grip - and extra braking at the heel - for wide-range pursuits in broad-range conditions.

AIR CUSHION MIDSOLE
The patented Merrell Air Cushion Midsole absorbs shock and adds stability. It is found exclusively in Merrell footwear. the air cushion compresses on heel strike to absorb shock up to four times the body`s weight for unmatched support and comfort. In addition, the air cushion creates a pronounced heel cup, which keeps the heel centered in the boot and helps stabilize the foot. In short, it offers the comfort and cushioning of a running shoe, with the stability and control needed for backcountry travel. No bladders or capsules to pop or explode!

Q-FORM MIDSOLE
Proper support and re-directing of a women`s gait can minimize the over-correction, alleviate discomfort, and reduce wear and tear on a shoe by ensuring an even wear pattern.

Q-Form is a molded midsole with tree separate degrees of firmness. When combined with a patented air cushion, the system directs a women`s stride into a more fluid, balanced process that results in extended comfort, stability, and wear-life of the shoe.
