Merrell Antora 3 GORE-TEX Women's Trail Running Shoes

Merrell's best-selling women's trail running shoe just got better in the Antora 3 GORE-TEX. Built with a more durable upper for overfoot protection, a softer and more responsive midsole with FloatPro Foam pods strategically placed under the heel and forefoot where you need extra cushioning the most.

GORE-TEX Upper

The Merrell Antora 3 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoe has been constructed using a breathable mesh and TPU upper; the mesh allows air to fully permeate the upper providing a supply of cool, fresh air whilst simultaneously forcing out hot, muggy air that resides in the shoe during heavy exertion. Engineered with a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, the Antora GORE-TEX offers complete waterproof performance and exceptional breathability; step confidently and comfortably through wet and muddy terrain as the GORE-TEX membrane allows water vapour to escape without letting water droplets in. A breathable mesh lining works with Cleansport NXT antimicrobial agents to keep you feeling cooler and fresher for longer; the antimicrobial agents reside in the shoe lining and materials preventing sweat and moisture from affecting the freshness of your shoe by penetrating and disrupting the reproduction of the odour-causing microbes in your shoes. The external rear sling locks in the heel, this, combined with the traditional lace closure system provides a secure fit, reducing in-shoe slippage for quick descents and sharp turns.

EVA Midsole

Providing the perfect combination of stability and comfort, the EVA midsole will keep you protected when you are on varied and volatile trails. Upon every step, the EVA will provide cushioning which will place less pressure on your joints. This will help to reduce fatigue and injuries from occurring, allowing you to push yourself further. The cushioning will also feel extremely soft providing a high level of comfort. The EVA will transfer energy equally around the midsole, which will result in a stable and sturdy ride. All heavy impacts are absorbed instantly, preventing them from reaching the sole of the feet and causing discomfort or even damage. Further enhancing comfort and shock absorption, the Merrell Antora 3 has FloatPro Foam pods to the heel and midfoot, a medium-density foam that provides lightweight protection and high energy return. A rock plate will provide further security and solid protection underfoot.

Vibram Outsole

Designed with Vibram TC5+ these shoes are designed for those who want a challenge; with the best combination of traction and durability, these trail running shoes are perfect for slippery and challenging terrain. The high-performance rubber compound offers grip and traction on wet and dry surfaces in the most extreme temperatures and with the outsole design boasting no lugs underneath the arch, your foot is encouraged to flex more naturally with greater comfort - the ideal shoe for demanding activity.
