Trail running technology that brings some serious swift, keeping adventure racers centered and efficient to maintain speed over changeable terrain. Proprietary TrailSpring™ design positions visible tubes bisected by support beams in a full-length TPU plate to inhibit overpronation and cushion heel-strike. Trail Balanced™ last with integrated arch bridge stabilizes the heel while freeing the forefoot for easy toe off. Both quick-cinch airmesh upper and Merrell Air Cushion® sole (with Q-Form™ stride alignment for women) drain readily and are gaiter-compatible. Vibram® Full Speed II™ sole features heel-centering cutaway design and flex grooves for propulsion at the forefoot.
