The Merrell Forestbound Waterproof Mid Hiking Boots have been designed with long hiking days in mind. Constructed with a durable leather upper alongside a waterproof membrane that seals out water and lets moisture escape, feet will be fully protected on even the most challenging trail. A protective toe cap and bellows tongue keep out debris from rocky or un-even ground, while a breathable mesh lining ensures there is ventilation to where it is needed most. Additionally, you can rely on a Kinetic Fit™ BASE removable contoured insole for flexible support and a lightweight EVA foam midsole for day-long comfort. A sticky Merrell rubber outsole also lends a high level of traction.
