With the rough winter that many parts of the country has had, you may be waiting for that first 60-degree day when you can get outside and renew your spring and summer fitness program.  Merrell boots isn’t a manufacturer of very dressy shoes, but they do make shoes that are meant for being outdoors. There are a wide choice of styles, including those meant for active sports and casual sandals. Merrell makes footwear styles for women, men and kids.

For women and men, the Merrell’s shoe styles include slip ons, boots, lace ups and sandals. If you need active footwear, the options include winter, running, hiking, and multi-sport shoes. Obviously, there are many other footwear manufacturers offering active footwear, but Merrell shoes has grown to be a big favorite because their footwear is both stylish and functional. 
For children, there aren’t as many options as for the parents, but they are very cute with many color options and options for both active and casual shoes, just like with adults. You can even find some styles for infants and toddlers. You can outfit the entire family to spend some time outside with comfortable and appropriate footwear.

One of Merrell’s women’s multi-sport shoes is called the Siren Sport GORE-TEX XCR. This style is perfect for those who like to work out outside, including hikers, trail runners, and bikers. It is waterproof and moisture-wicking and keeps your foot comfortable in a wide range of outdoor temperatures. It comes in gray, tan/orange, lead, and tan/wine. For women who like to get in some winter hiking or snowshoeing, the Merrell Winterlude Zip Waterproof is a great option. Even if you just want to walk around the neighborhood, these will keep your feet nice and warm and dry. This style has a snowshoe strap ridge to make them easy to use with snowshoes if you like. They feature a fleece cuff and come in gray, black, or dusty olive.

A good option for a sport sandal from Merrell is the Waterpro Animaswhich is available in both men’s and women’s sizes. This is a water sandal that converts to a slide by removing the two straps that go across the back. Since this is made from synthetic materials vegans will find it to be a great option.

For men, the CT Stamina is a great option for a running shoe. It is made for overpronators who put in a lot of mileage, and it is manufactured from environmentally friendly materials. Merrell footwear uses recycled materials and synthetics that don’t use harmful chemicals in order to produce these shoes. They come in a Beluga and Rust color combination. Many men can even pull off wearing some Merrell styles to work on casual Fridays.  Just wear a nice pair of khakis and a button-down shirt, you’ll be fine.  Merrell continues to set the bar high with their active footwear.  Get to a local Merrell retailer soon, and try a pair for yourself.  Then get outdoors and feel the comfort Merrell sandals have to offer.
