Why We Love the Merrell Speed Eco Waterproof Hiking Shoe
In a sea of Merrell shoes, the Speed Eco stands out as the brand's lightest and most eco-friendly hiking shoe. Ideal for fast hikes on well-maintained trails, this waterproof version features Merrell's advanced proprietary membrane to keep rain and splashes at bay in wet conditions.
The "Eco" in its name refers to the shoe's exceptional use of recycled materials. The uppers, midsoles, outsoles, laces, webbing, lining, and footbed covers are all composed of 100% recycled materials. Not only does this make the Speed Eco lighter on your feet, but it also contributes to a lighter footprint on the planet.
