GORE-TEX Upper
The All Out Blaze 2 GORE-TEX Shoes from Merrell is made from GORE-TEX fabric. GORE-TEX is a fully waterproof membrane which blocks out water but is also superbly breathable, allowing the wearer to stay dry, cool and comfortable as they train.

The Upper is constructed from Full Grain Leather which is a superbly durable material that can help to protect the foot as well as keep it dry. Mesh sections have also been added to the shoes upper which allow warm air to be released from the shoe at the same time as allowing cool air to flow in, keeping the wearer's feet and the inside of the shoe as cool, dry and comfortable as possible. M-Select Fresh is added to the inside of the shoes that prevents the growth of odour causing microbes, ensuring your shoes stay smelling fresh for longer. Lastly, protecting the front of the foot and shoe is a protective die-cut Toe Cap which helps to prevent the wearer being injured on rocks and various debris which could damage the front of the foot or the shoe.
Blended EVA Midsole
The footbed is made from a Blended EVA which offers supreme cushioning and support to key areas like the arch and heel, holding the foot securely in place for a smooth wear. By supporting these keys areas of the foot, this midsole material can also help to offer enough support to help prevent discomfort and possibly injury. The heel of the shoe is fitted with an Air Cushion which helps to keep the foot stable inside of the shoe as well as absorbing heel to help prevent injury that could be caused. EVA Foam has also been added to the midsole to offer long-lasting, plush cushioning under the foot to keep the wearer feeling comfortable and stable on their feet as they enjoy their chosen activity.
Vibram Rubber Outsole
The outsole has been constructed from Vibram TC5+ rubber which is extremely durable and practical. This rubber also allows the shoe to grip various terrain in various weather conditions that the wearer will come across as they walk and explore.
