The Speed Eco is Merrell's most recycled shoe to date and will keep you hiking with the comfort you expect from Merrell with the capability you demand. This waterproof version will keep your feet dry while you are exploring.
Waterproof Upper
Utilising a jacquard construction, the upper of the Speed Eco has a comfortable feel with a durable design and the ability to keep feet cool, as well as dry thanks to the waterproof membrane. The jacquard upper provides an enhanced level of protection against, knocks and bumps, dirt and debris, for shoes with long-lasting properties. A bellows tongue further keeps out debris for added comfort on the trail. This upper has been made with 77% recycled jacquard for a more sustainable choice. A Merrell waterproof membrane features to further ensure that water, rain and damp conditions are kept on the outside, therefore keeping feet dry and cosy no matter what the conditions are. The 100% recycled laces and webbing keeps feet locked in and secure, ensuring in-shoe slippage is prevented. Lastly, a 100% recycled mesh lining adds to the breathability of the Speed Eco WP.
Lightweight EVA Foam MidsoleTo provide feet with a high level of comfort and breathability, a mesh lining resides through the midsole of these shoes to keep feet feeling fresh from start to finish. The walking shoes have a removable EVA foam footbed that works alongside a lightweight EVA foam midsole to provide stability and comfort. The EVA also contains shock absorption properties and is highly responsive to help lessen the burden placed on your knees and joints whilst walking for long periods of time. The footbed is lined with an NXT cover to prevent odour, keeping you feeling fresher for longer. The removable EVA foam footbed is made with 50% recycled materials.
Rubber OutsoleDesigned with 30% recycled rubber, the outsole is designed to offer traction and support in various conditions whilst being better for the planet. The outsole allows for flexibility to give more comfortable stepping. The recycled rubber provides traction on wet, and dry surfaces, ensuring you have confident footing no matter where you chose to explore.
