Merrell Chameleon 8 Stretch Tactical Black Hiking Shoe

The Merrell Chameleon 8 Stretch in black is an ultra-lightweight, protective and comfortable hiking shoe. Much like the animal it is named after, a key benefit of the Chameleon is the adaptable pull-on design. After giving the elastic cord laces a quick tug and locking them in place to your snugness preference, the shoes will actually begin forming to the shape of your feet as you wear them. Once this happens, it becomes easy to just step into the hikers and go. This eliminates the need to waste daylight getting your shoes laced up just right so they won't come untied and trip you because they're too loose, nor cause aches and pains because they're too tight.

With a rugged yet lightweight construction, the Chameleon is built to keep you protected and comfortable out on the trails. A durable upper made of black nubuck leather and breathable mesh holds up against the abuse of extended treks, while ensuring that your feet remain cool, dry and blister-free with proper airflow. The Vibram XS Trek Evo outsole not only provides excellent traction with an aggressive tread pattern, but also extends up into the heel and toe areas for additional protection against natural debris on the ground. A bellows tongue also keeps this debris out of your shoes, so your hike doesn't have to be halted to remove a rock.

Merrell is world-renowned for making some of the most comfortable hiking shoes available, and this reputation is not lost on the Chameleon. A molded TPU heel counter works in tandem with a Kinetic Fit BASE contoured insole to provide a secure fit that won't shift around on you, as well as flexible support that rides fluidly with the natural motion of your feet while keeping fatigue at bay. This is supplemented by a Merrell Air Cushion located in the heel that absorbs shock and promotes stability with every footfall.
