Knit Upper
Designed to keep your feet comfortable, dry and ventilated the Merrell Bravada Walking Shoes have been constructed using a knit upper. The knit acts as a lightweight second skin to ensure you are able to go the distance in complete comfort. Perforations in the fabric encourage cool air to circulate, removing uncomfortable heat build-up to create a healthy environment for your foot to thrive in plus, a waterproof membrane has also been used within the shoes to seal out water and let moisture escape. The membrane developed by Merrell is guaranteed to seal moisture out to keep your feet dry. In addition to this, the membrane will let moisture out of it, which will mean that as you begin to sweat, the moisture and warm air that is building up within the shoes can escape out, where it is then replaced by cooler air from outside of the shoes. A bellows tongue keeps debris out of the shoe whilst a comfort collar reduces hot spots. Completing the Merrell Bravada Waterproof Walking Shoes is a lacing system which locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.
EVA MidsoleThe midsole has been constructed using different technologies to ensure long-lasting comfort and increased cushioning. EVA within the midsole offers supreme cushioning and support to key areas like the arch and heel, holding the foot securely in place for a smoother transition and wear. By supporting these key areas of the foot, the midsole material can also help to offer enough support to help prevent discomfort and possible injury. An air cushion also features in the midsole to provide shock absorption and stability. The air cushion features in the heel to reduce stress on the foot with each step; this, in turn, lessens the impact during heel strikes and helps to cradle the heel to maintain proper alignment. Contoured to your foot, the insole provides flexible intuitive support for connected and protected movements.
Quantum Grip Rubber OutsoleDeveloped to provide traction and grip, the Bravada Waterproof has been constructed using a durable rubber compound. Ensuring multi-directional grip the outsole ensures traction on varied terrain ensuring confident footing whether you're hiking or out for a leisurely stroll in the local park. The durable rubber provides a strong grip on the most challenging terrain; it works to protect itself from damage, and protect users from losing control and slipping. It is also highly durable meaning no matter what you throw at it, the Bravada will perform time and time again. The outsole enables confidence in the most extreme trail environments to keep you grounded at all times. Completing the outsole are 4mm lugs which dig deep into loose terrain and mud to ensure traction on varied terrain.
