Merrell Chameleon Iso GTX XCR Hiking Shoe - Men's description

Your feet get hot because you like fast-paced hikes, but you also navigate over tricky, wet terrain. So, do you go with breathable shoes or waterproof ones? Let the Merrell Men's Chameleon Iso GTX XCR Hiking Shoes put in their two cents. These lightweight hiking shoes have breathable mesh uppers and waterproof breathable Gore-Tex XCR linings. So, you have airy mesh above the linings which allows hot air to escape. The Chameleon Iso Hiking Shoes don't skimp on support eitherprotective toe bumpers, air-cushion midsoles, and Ortholite footbeds work with 4mm lugs and Vibram outsoles for trail support and reliable grip.

Bottom Line: Breathable mesh tops the waterproof lining on these lightweight hiking shoes.

Great shoe, very good quality except the adhesive used on the toe of the shoe isn't the best so you might think about getting a good rubber adhesive to make sure it doesn't peel away.

One of the most important parts of hiking is taking care of your feet. Being comfortable throughout your hike is often overlooked, but only becomes more important and evident as the miles pass and the day grows long. I decided to start my research a couple of months ago to treat myself to a new pair of hiking shoes. There are numerous styles and brands, all of which have tremendous advantages depending on the hiking conditions. In the end, I narrowed my choice to the Merrell Chameleon Iso GTX XCR.I've logged over 52 miles on these shoes in the past two months and I'm completely amazed with the results. The longer I own them, the happier I become with my decision. The break-in period seems to be rather long, probably due to the Vibram outsoles. I broke my pair right out of the box and the comfort allowed me to immediately hit the trail without any second thoughts. Check them out and hit your favorite trail.
