Who should buy the Merrell All Out Blaze 2 Mid Waterproof
The All Out Blaze 2 Mid Waterproof manages to satisfy buyers with its set of positive qualities. It is a solid option if you:
- Prefer a lightweight hiking boot that emphasizes protection and comfort.
- Prefer a hiking boot that can keep the user’s foot dry.
- Prefer a hiking boot that offers excellent traction.
Excellent traction on virtually all types of terrain
Merrell’s All Out Blaze 2 Mid Waterproof is equipped with a Vibram TC5+ for traction on virtually all types of terrain. Its aggressive lug pattern bites down on wet and dry surfaces for a surefooted grip. These lugs also shed dirt and debris for optimal traction on the trail. The outsole is made of a durable rubber compound for increased resistance to wear and tear.
Comfortable cushioning
This mid-cut hiking boot uses a compression-molded EVA midsole to create a cushioned ride for the user. The brand’s patented Air Cushion Viz is paired with a high rebound EVA foam pod in the heel to enhance stability and reduce shock.
A molded nylon shank is embedded within the midsole to make the gear more rigid against twisting and contorting on uneven surfaces.
Excellent arch support
The footwear’s removable FIT ECO EVA footbed supplies arch support and underfoot comfort to the wearer. It’s coated with Merrell’s M Select Fresh technology to prevent microbes from causing an unpleasant odor.
Light and abrasive resistant
The Merrell All Out Blaze 2 Mid Waterproof features an upper that combines full-grain leather and mesh panels. These materials make the boot light and resistant to abrasive elements.
Waterproof and breathable
The upper is lined with an M Select Dry membrane to prevent water from seeping in while maintaining breathability. Moreover, its bellows tongue prevents debris from entering this gear.
Offers protection against stubbing
The boot’s toe cap is reinforced for improved durability and protection against stubbing. An overlay is also found at the heel for enhanced rearfoot stability.
Easy to wear
Its lace-up closure system uses a series of eyelets and metal hooks to secure the laces. A pull loop is found below the ankle cuff for an easy on and off.
