Renders traction on virtually all types of terrain
Keeping the user’s footing secure is the Chameleon 7 Mid Waterproof’s Vibram TC5+ outsole. Its pattern of 3mm circular lugs renders traction on virtually all types of terrain. Several grooves are found in the heel and forefoot areas to improve control in uphill and downhill conditions.
Provides protection from stubbing
The sole extends toward the toes to provide extra protection from stubbing.
Lightweight and comfortable cushioning
This day hiking boot houses a midsole made of lightweight EVA foam and an Air Cushion in the heel area. This combination grants rebound and impact reduction. It comes with the brand’s patented FlexPlate technology, which makes the gear amply rigid and supportive.
Excellent arch support
Its Kinetic Base Fit insole offers improved underfoot comfort and arch support while a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) heel counter enhances stability.
Waterproof and breathable
The Merrell Chameleon 7 Mid Waterproof’s nubuck and suede leather upper contains mesh panels to improve airflow. The M Select Dry membrane makes it a hiking boot that prevents water intrusions while maintaining breathability.
Prevents debris from entering
Eyelets, metal hooks, and synthetic lace make up the closure system. Its bellows tongue prevents debris from entering the gear while a pull tab allows an easy on and off. The forefoot is reinforced with a rubber cap to enhance its robustness.
