Merrell Phaser Peak Hiking Boots - Men's

These Phasers will stun you with amazing comfort, rugged durability and solid support—built for long day hikes or weekend backpacking escapes. Waterproofed nubuck leather uppers are both durable and flexible for long-lasting protection and comfort. Omni-Fit™ and Bronze Loop system snugs boots around insteps and ankles when laces are tightened. Waterproof bellow tongues keep out stream water and loose trail debris. Lightweight polyester mesh linings absorb excess moisture and disperse it for quick drying; waterproof membranes keep feet dry. Removable, anatomically-shaped EVA footbeds add cushioning to a long day's journey. Compression molded EVA midsoles with Air Cushion® heel pockets absorb shock and pad against rough terrain. Nylon midsole supports enhance torsional rigidity for stability on uneven surfaces. Injection-molded external wishbones support heels and ankles. Vibram® Phaser™ rubber outsoles keep you moving confidently on the trail; their aggressive tread provides exceptional uphill/downhill grip.
