Size and fit
The Merrell Lulea is a day hiking shoe engineered solely for women. It comes with a traditional lacing system, which enables female outdoor enthusiasts to achieve a secure and personalized fit.
Outsole
The women’s Merrell Lulea comes with a patented M Select Grip to supply traction for day hikes. It uses a diamond-shaped 4.5mm lug pattern to give grip on wet and dry ground conditions. This component is made of a durable rubber compound that enables it to withstand harsh terrain. Moreover, its front tip extends toward the forefoot section to shield the user’s toes from trail hazards.
Midsole
This hiking shoe from Merrell features the brand’s patented Q Form 2 midsole. It has two layers of ethylene-vinyl acetate foam to give hikers sufficient cushioning and shock absorption. Merrell also engineered it with a heel-centering technology to give gender-specific alignment and comfort. It is paired with a Kinetic Fit Tri removable contoured insole, which delivers support to the foot’s three arches. Moreover, this component also yields added cushioning and underfoot comfort. A molded nylon shank is embedded into the midsole to make the shoe supportive and rigid.
Upper
The Merrell Lulea is equipped with an upper made of PU-coated leather and mesh fabric. These materials lower the hiking shoe’s weight while optimizing breathability. A bellows-type tongue is integrated into the upper to prevent debris from entering. Its lacing system employs a series of fabric loops and a pair of metal eyelets for fit management. A pull tab is found at the collar to facilitate easy on and off.
