Merrell MQM Flex Gore-Tex

These Merrell low shoes are an agile and rustic looking product for going into the mountains. The Flex Gore-Tex® could almost be taken for a trail running shoe. The sole’s toughness, little cushioning, weight and precision would not enable them to play in this category though – but for a day’s hike in the mountains they are ideal.

 

OK let’s be honest, we liked these Merrell a lot. Quality materials and sleek design.

 

Straight away you feel at ease in these shoes. We liked that the designers hadn’t overloaded them with foam. They are comfortable around the heel and ankle and at the forefoot there is contact with the upper, which gives precision and also when wet doesn’t get saturated with extra moisture. So crossing streams they dry out much more quickly.

 

They envelop the feet comfortably without being exceptional. You need to fiddle with the laces to get them just right but the flat lacing slides well in the eyelets so adjustment is done easily. Don’t tighten too much otherwise you can feel the pressure from the metal eyelets. The tongue could be a tiny bit thicker.

 

Foot strike is good, both direct, so you don’t lose the feeling of the terrain, and soft thanks to the heel cushioning from the lugs.

 

The stone guard is in fact a flexible protection. There are two straps one at the back of the heel and one at the top of the tongue to help slide your foot into the shoe.

 

The sole is performant, grippy in the mud and efficient on rocks. The stride is pleasant, and due to their rigidity the torsional twist is secure.

 

Breathability is average – like all shoes with a membrane they slowly increase in temperature.

 

We liked these Merrel Flex because they dapt quickly to your feet and enable you to walk fast in the mountains without worrying about the terrain being technical.
