Merrell Women’s Speed Solo Mid Waterproof Boots

Add a pop of color to your next trail excursion with these waterproof boots that are made for moderate hikes and fitted with foam midsoles for optimal comfort every step of the way.

Right now, the shoes are on sale for $105 in four vibrant color combinations that are sure to turn heads on the trails. Just note that this style runs small, so the brand suggests opting for a half size up for the best possible fit. 

Merrell Men’s Jungle Moc

Perhaps one of the most well-known styles created by the brand, these slip-on shoes are a dream for traveling, and their lightweight design ensures their packability, as well. Cloud-like EVA midsoles provide essential cushioning for everyday wear that keeps you feeling fresh on your feet even while racking up steps, and reliable rubber outsoles offer sturdy grip on both slick and uneven surfaces. They’re easy to put on or remove in a hurry (like in the pandemonium of the airport security line), and right now they’re on sale for just $70 in four neutral colors and one gorgeous blue shade.

The trend of wearing slippers as shoes is especially great for traveling, and Merrell’s Hut Moc slippers are an unbeatable selection for airport-wear thanks to their thick, slip-resistant outsoles and cozy fleece linings.

Intended for wear on the most rugged, difficult terrain, these hard-as-nails boots are here to help you fearlessly take on the trails for just $112. The footbeds contour to your unique foot shape for significant cushioning with every step, and they also offer impressive shock absorption to minimize the potential for injury and discomfort while hiking.

Delivering a boot that effortlessly blends leather and suede, the Alverstone 2 boots are a major asset for fall hiking on a wide range of terrain, and they’ve even earned a near-perfect 4.8-star rating on the site. The chunkier design offers a more cushioned upper that locks your feet firmly in place, and the waterproof exterior is a non-negotiable as we enter the colder months. The brand’s unique Air Cushion heels absorb shock so you can comfortably spend longer hours on your feet, and it certainly doesn’t hurt that they’re now on sale for nearly $40 off.

Merrell Men’s Nova Sneaker Moc

Slip-on sneakers are practically made for travel, and this lightweight pair will be an excellent addition to your wardrobe to usher in the fall. The lace-free tops of these shoes resemble a slipper, while the outsoles are anything but, offering vital grip on icy and snowy surfaces. The interiors are where these shoes really shine, with both the forefoot and the heel boasting extra cushioning that will help you feel light on your feet all day long. These popular shoes are selling quickly while they’re on sale for $70, but you’ll find that most sizes are available in black.

Merrell Women’s Embark Lace Sneakers

Not only does Merrell make industry standard-setting hiking boots, but it creates high-quality sneakers as well. In fact, these bold, sock-like sneakers are designed for everyday wear, and with foam midsoles and grippy outsoles, they’re guaranteed to feel great on every terrain from the airport to cobblestone streets.

Merrell Men’s Nova 3 Sneakers

Men’s sneakers have also seen a significant price slash during the brand’s fall sale, and the shopper-loved Nova 3 sneakers are now available for only $87 for a limited time. They may be designed for trail running, but their grippy outsoles and breathable exteriors make them uniquely well-suited for sightseeing days as well. However, if you do plan on taking these sneakers to the trails, you can rest assured your feet will be well-protected thanks to built-in rock plates within the outsoles that add another layer between your feet and the earth.
