On the afternoon of September 28th, I was on duty and suddenly received an unfamiliar phone number and answered the phone in a suspicious manner. I heard a beautiful female voice: “Hello, may I ask you if it is a blue sky? This is a wild camp equipment camp. I would like to invite you to try the 9-month MERRELL hiking shoes." After all, it was the first time that the equipment camp had received a trial of a new product. The trial product was the famous MERRELL hiking shoe. So take ALAN with the caller to take the shoes the next day.

On the afternoon of September 29th, new shoes were taken. Take a new shoe panorama first.

The color is dominated by earth colors, the shades of brown and shades of orange are calm and lively. The shoe-type is long and slender, and it is not suitable for ordinary women.

The PU head of the toe part has a reasonable design and a suitable range of size to avoid wear of the toe during wearing (don't worry about kicking stones, steps and other hard objects).

The design of the connection between the elastic tongue and the shoe body avoids the entry of small foreign objects, and it is also easy to put on and off (it is not because the tongue is too long, which leads to the time-consuming sorting of the tongue and shoelace shifting; in addition, due to the elasticity of the joints, Although the upper is relatively high, it will not affect the overweight person who wears the foot.) The inner soft lap of the upper is soft and thick, avoiding the ankle being worn.

The sole is a VIBRAM® professional rubber outsole, which has round, square, and special shaped teeth, deep teeth, and a wide tooth pitch. I squeezed my hand and had good elasticity.

On October 1st, put on new shoes to go shopping and try its feet on the city road. Although doubts about the shopping function of hiking shoes, but still want to see if it is suitable for wear on weekdays. The weather is gloomy and windy. The temperature is around 20 degrees. Starting at 11:30 noon and returning to home at 18:30 in the evening, I have been wearing these shoes. On the way, I visited three malls and walked about three kilometers on the asphalt road. In this process, the ground that comes in contact with is hardened, the floor tiles of the shopping mall and the concrete asphalt pavement, but the professional rubber V-bottom gives full play to its elasticity, and the AIR-CUSHION® cushioning air cushion on the heel, on the hard ground. It also provides excellent rebound and support, just like there is a small spring on the heel, and once you step on it, you have the power and then you lift it up. Although the soles look thick and even give people a heavy feeling, they do not feel that these shoes are heavy during walking. This pair of shoes looks very thick, and they start to worry about whether they will be hot, but the end result is satisfying. After a few hours, there are no smells in the socks and shoes, and there is no sweat. Did not disappoint me! It seems that it is also a good choice to wear it as a casual shoe on weekdays.

On October 2nd, wearing shoes to walk to work. When I ran off work, Oh, the feeling of the soles was great, and the flexibility was good! However, it may be because the upper is relatively high. When you are running, there is a feeling of restraint in the ankle and it is a bit uncomfortable.

On October 3rd, the key moment for testing new shoes was climbing the East Mountain. Do not know why, the state of today's climbing is not good, has not begun to feel that the leg is a bit soft, it is estimated that did not drink Red Bull, huh, huh.

The climbing road is a dirt road, stepping on new shoes and following the team slowly and slowly.

Soles close-up. A small piece of gravel road shows the advantages of a wide pitch, and it will not cling to small stones. At the same time, the advantages of large rubber bottoms are shown, and the thick bottom will not let the stones hit the feet. I was struggling on the gravel and I didn't feel pain in my soles.

Look at it, the rocks under your feet. The benefits of Gao Bang have also been brought into play. Stepping on the stone, he almost twisted his feet. Fortunately, the ankle joint has some support and is not injured.

The MERRELL and GORE-TEX logos, with their little embellishments, also show fashion.

Put the tripod on the tree trunk and show the soles of the shoes. You can see the three-dimensional sawtooth. It is their existence that allows a pair of ordinary shoes to have a good grip.

I am not worried about wearing MERRELL shoes on the wet land covered with colored leaves. I am comfortable walking on the soft dirt road.

The Lingshan in the early autumn has fallen snow, and the snow begins to melt under the sun's rays, and the dirt road becomes slippery and difficult to walk. Looking at the front line of the team wearing a flat-bottomed shoes in a slippery way, a little worried. Go ahead and get a feel for the anti-slip function of MERRELL shoes. The serrations of the soles are deep and fast, and the thin mud fills the gaps between the teeth, and there is a slight sense of slipping.

The last one before the top rose, a large steep meadow, and shallow snow. Because the soles are covered with mud, I always worry about slipping. However, the performance of MERRELL proved my fear was superfluous. Walking on the meadow, stepping on the stone, a few minutes of effort, the mud on the soles of the shoes has gradually decreased, and the sawtooth has also revealed one by one.

The raging winds (looking at my flying hair and the shape of the ice shuttle on the stone tablet), I safely reached the top under the protection of MERRELL shoes. Although the state of climbing was poor (presumably it was blown by the wind), the weather was not good (never encountered such a big wind), and the road condition was not good (melted snow), but I actually did not fall.

Merrell is a top technology outdoor brand in the United States. This experience made me really feel its absolute comfort and functionality.

Summary: This shoe has excellent grip and non-slip performance, good elasticity of the sole, good warmth and breathability, and is suitable for casual wear and climbing around Beijing.

In addition, this shoe size is too small, I usually wear 38 yards, this shoe is right 38.5. Personally think that the thin foot type can be selected by half a yard than the normal size, and the fat foot type can be selected by one yard to 1.5 yards larger than the normal size.
