Merrell Thermo Adventure Ice Plus 6 Inch Waterproof Walking Boots

Take on the wet and wintery trails in waterproof comfort and warmth with the Merrell Thermo Adventure Ice Plus 6 Inch Waterproof Walking Boots. With exceptional heat retention combined with a waterproof upper, the boots are ready and prepared take on the cold months.

M-Select DRY Upper

Surrounding the upper of the Thermo Adventure Ice Plus Waterproof Boot, Merrell have used waterproof suede, which will work hard to keep your feet feeling dry and comfortable. Moisture that lands on the surface of the boot can be wicked away extremely efficiently as the boots have a TPU waterproof shell, keeping the overall weight of the boots down to a minimum. As well as this, the boot has M-Select DRY, a waterproof membrane developed by Merrell to keep your feet dry and ventilated. The whole of the upper is surrounded by an impermeable membrane which seals out moisture, stopping any of it from entering and coming into contact with your feet. From the inside, the membrane will still allow moisture to exit, which will mean that as you become more active and begin to sweat, the membrane will allow moisture to exit to keep you feeling ventilated and fresh. For increased warmth when the temperatures start to plummet, the boots have a 200 gram M-Select Warm insulating layer. This will keep your feet warm in freezing temperatures whilst it also will not have a lot of bulk, keeping it comfortable and light. Finishing off the insulation, the boots have a Conductor fleece lining which again increases warmth. Thick and sturdy material surrounds the toes and heel, which will provide you with protection from any knocks and stability to keep you in a firm and upright position. A traditional lace closure system which runs all the way up the foot will make it easy to secure the boots to a comfortable fit. A bellows tongue sits comfortably on the ankle and will keep all debris and dirt out. The ankle collar is soft and padded, reducing the risk of irritation being caused by rubbing and chafing. A removable Kinetic Fit insole will provide you with a contoured soft and comfortable feel directly underfoot, which will also give flexible support.

Compression Moulded EVA Midsole

The compression moulded platform in the midsole features anatomically-inspired dual-directional flex grooves that support the natural motion of the foot. This technology promotes upward and downward flexibility for agility and stability on uneven terrain. Underneath the heel, there is a Merrell Air Cushion, which will absorb all shocks and improve stability for protection. The EVA unit works endlessly to reduce and disperse impact forces away from the foot providing a plush and comfortable feeling with every step. Additionally, the midsole offers a moulded nylon arch shank that provides excellent underfoot protection. This technology protects the underfoot from sharp rocks or objects that you may come across on the trail.

Vibram Arctic Grip Outsole

The Vibram Arctic Grip is the most advanced cold weather gripping system ever created by Vibram, providing 3x more traction on wet, icy surfaces compared to other outsole systems. In addition, the Flex-Connect system stretches its way onto the outsole which provides a sticky, durable rubber outsole with skeleton-like lugs and flex grooves that move with the foot. this system offers a full range of flexibility for superior grip and traction on wet or dry trails.
