Merrell Siren Traveller Q2 review

Who should buy the Merrell Siren Traveller Q2

The Siren Traveller Q2 from Merrell is created based on the biomechanics of a woman’s foot. It is equipped with the Q Form 2 platform. It is recommended for:

• outdoor lovers who wants a gender-specific stability and support
• individuals who are looking for a hiking shoe that fuses breathability and durability

Merrell’s proprietary M Select Grip outsole powers the Siren Traveller Q2

This Merrell hiker features the M Select Grip outsole. Its specialized 3.5 mm deep lugs do not trap water, hence promoting grip even on wet surfaces. The angled lugs on the rear and forefoot enhance bite on ascents and descents. 

It has a textured finish to prevent muck build-up. The sole extends to the front, acting as a shield against bumps. 

Merrell Siren Traveller Q2 carries a hard-wearing midsole

Featuring the Q Form 2 platform, the Merrell Siren Traveller Q2 has a dual-density foam midsole. It guides the foot for proper alignment, promoting an efficient stride. Its heel-centering technology, plus the brand’s Air Cushion (circular pad attached at the heel), enhances stability by absorbing shocks upon ground contact. 

It comes with a removable Kinetic Fit Tri insole which works with the natural biomechanics of the foot to support the three arches.

Siren Traveller Q2’s breathable upper

Combining nubuck, suede and mesh, the Merrell Siren Traveller Q2 yields a protective and durable upper. It also has a breathable mesh lining which enhances comfort.

The brand engineers designed it with a bellows tongue to prevent the entry of trail debris. The toe area is reinforced with a toe cap for extra protection.

The shoe’s closure system includes a flat lace which passes through punctured eyelets. The tongue has a lace keeper (located in the middle) to help keep its position.

It has two pull tabs, one at the heel and one at the top of the tongue. These loops facilitate easy on and off.
