Merrell Alpine Sneaker review

Who should buy the Merrell Alpine Sneakers

The Merrell Alpine Sneaker suits you if you:

• are looking for a lightweight sneaker that delivers comfort for hours
• enjoy wearing sustainable products
• are searching for kicks that have ample support for your arches

Who should NOT buy it

This sneaker is not suitable if you are meticulous about traction. Its grip is unreliable on some floor tiles; thus, extra precautions must be regarded. Alternatively, you may check out some Merrell models that offer next-level traction, such as the easy-to-slide in Merrell Range Laceless AC+ or the more aggressive Jungle Moc.

Merrell Alpine Sneaker: Lightweight comfort for daily use

The Merrell Alpine sneaker can be the most suitable pair when one needs a sneak for city strolls or light trail walks. This sneaker can keep the feet feeling comfy for hours, thanks to its airy construction made of a recycled insole and lining that effectively protects the feet from shocks or bumps.

A suitable summer sneaker

Thanks to its mesh upper, this model can keep the feet dry, even during humid days, as it allows free movement of air in and out of the sneaker. And further improving the cozy feel is the footbed lined with NXT which prevents odor formation.

It feels so supportive underfoot

Its removable insole is made with 50% recycled EVA foam. This insole provides an exceptional level of support on the arches for lasting, comfortable strides. In some cases where preferred orthotics are needed, its insole can be easily detached and replaced.

Friendly on our environment, too!

Several of its materials are recycled, making this one of the sustainable products Merrell is offering on the market.

Hard to miss aesthetics

Featuring a nylon-suede upper, a signature detail in Merrell's hiking-inspired sneakers, this kick can go well from casual work attire to adventure-ready ensembles. Moreover, it flaunts stitching accents on both sidewalls, and the ripstop material makes for a unique accent that exudes outdoorsy vibes.

Merrell Alpine Sneaker's lineage

Merrell Alpine Sneaker is among the company's best-seller for the retro sneaker silhouette and maximum comfort. Due to its popularity, other versions of the Alpine Sneaker were crafted. The Merrell Alpine Sneaker Cross possesses the same silhouette as the Merrell Alpine Sneaker but with a hook-and-loop strap closure across the instep that promotes easy adjustability. Another variation is the mid-top Merrell Alpine Sneaker Mid which has nylon-lined padding that provides insulation during the cooler months.
