On the eve of National Day, I received a call from Greenfield Equipment Camp and informed me to experience new products. The next day, he excitedly took the trial of MERRELL shoes with the other half (Oh, she was also selected to participate in this phase of the product experience).
Show your new shoes first. The combination of leather and breathable mesh uppers, low-key and stylish black, gray and dark blue, is in line with the style of a mature man, and is coordinated with daily jeans and sweatpants.
Next, begin the experience process. In order to take a look at the shoes before climbing on the Eastling Mountain on October 3, the shoes were taken home after being taken home.
Men's feet are prone to sweating compared to women. Wearing a long walk in urban areas, the inner lining of the shoes can be kept very dry. This shows that the shoe lining has good air permeability. The large mesh area of ​​the shoe body is also one of the reasons for maintaining breathability.
The toe area is moderately wide, so that the toes can be flexible and do not suffer from foot crowding after long walking. There is a waist design on the waist of the shoe, and the back of the shoe is tightened, which makes the foot more stable in the shoe and will not shift left or right.
Although the sole of this shoe is not V-bottom, it is also a patented non-slip sole of MERRELL. When walking in the city, the slip resistance is not obvious, but the elasticity of the sole is very good. The cushioned cushion at the heel does help to save a lot of energy during walking. Even if you walk on the concrete road, you don't feel that the sole is hard and there is no feeling of rubbing.
The professional insole enhances the comfort and stability of the foot. Even wearing four days, the insole is very dry. It can be seen that the air permeability and sweat absorption of the insole are also significant.
In the process of climbing Lingshan, we walked through dirt roads, gravel roads, dilute mud roads and meadows. This shoe showed excellent grip and slip resistance. Dirt road is relatively easy to take, and the intake EMR midsole structure of the MERRELL sole increases cushioning and stability, so that the pressure on the soles of the feet is more evenly distributed, and it takes a lot of effort to get up; on the gravel road, because the sole is thick , so I can't feel the stones stumble.
The self-cleaning ability of the soles of the soles is very good. After the gravel road is finished, a stone is not stuck on the soles. In addition, the flexibility of the soles can also be used, and the soles will not feel stiff when doing the pedal climbing.
Very three-dimensional deformed teeth, a combination of science and creativity.
The snow that was sunburned was mixed into the soil, and the dirt road that had been easy to go became a muddy road. Walking on the mud and rotten leaves, its slip resistance is fully reflected. There is no slippage phenomenon and it is very stable. And do not look at the mesh surface area of ​​the shoe upper is large, but all the way down, there is no foreign water infiltrated into the shoes.
When walking on the meadow, it shows the anti-skid and self-cleaning function of this sole. The grass is not shallow, and the land under the grass is moist and muddy. At the beginning, it is still worrying about being slippery. When you go up, you really feel that you are walking on the grass and are walking on the grass. It is very stable and not slipping at all. In the middle of the trip, I wanted to pause for a moment to get rid of the mud on the soles of the shoes. When I was looking for suitable tools while walking, I found that the mud on the soles of the shoes had basically disappeared. In particular, he returned home the same night and found that all the debris on the soles of the shoe had gone downhill (including thin mud and weeds). Of course, there were mud prints on the soles and on the edges of the shoes, just as the water was so-so. This can only show that the self-cleaning ability of this shoe is really good, which is worthy of praise. Unlike some of the zig-zag shoes that I had previously passed, after walking through the dirt road, there was a lot of mud and small gravel in the crevices. When I stepped on the floor, a lot of earth slag was left, and the cleaning had to be specialized. Use tools to rub and wash.
When walking down the mountain, the slate roads and ridges of the scenic spots were used. The high gang of these shoes played a role in taking away the slate roads, allowing them to have relatively stable support and protection when walking, and to avoid sprains. When the stone steps down, the cushioning of the soles of the shoes reduces the pressure of the knee to some extent. Finally, after wearing the new shoes, Dongling did not appear to have worn or squeezed his feet.
Summary: This shoe has excellent slip resistance, grip, warmth is good (mountain below zero), generous appearance, comfortable feet, suitable for everyday wear, hiking and mountain climbing.
Disadvantages: long laces
