Merrell Moab Mid Gore-Tex (2012)

£110.00

These are more like a mid-cut version of a multi-activity shoe than a traditional boot. This means they lack the protection and support of a sturdier model. Of course, in return they do offer great comfort levels, with the combination of a soft sole unit and flexible mesh and mixed-material uppers providing great comfort right out of the box. Although ...

Merrell Pantheon XCR

£87.00

The relatively soft sole, coupled with the all-fabric upper, immediately give these the characteristics of a trainer, albeit a slightly rugged one. They feel light and airy and so are great for a walk on a warmer day. However, that softness does tend to become a bit of a problem on any terrain apart from generally sturdy and level ground. ...

Merrell Waterpro Ganges 2011

£72.00

The Merrell Waterpro Ganges’ modern styling hides a practical foundation of great features. Firstly the sole unit is a good aggressive Vibram design with deep lugs that are ideal for getting a grip on softer ground. There is an excellent degree of stiffness in there too, though, which makes these better than most here for walking over uneven terrain. The ...

Merrell Refuge Pro Gore-Tex 2011

£117.00

The Merrell Refuge Pro Gore-Tex is quite a robust shoe. The upper is a mix of leather and suede rather than cheaper synthetic materials, and there is a Gore-Tex waterproof lining. Inside there’s a Aegis antimicrobial treatment to reduce the build-up of smelly bacteria. The heel cup is firm and the toe box is well-protected by a rubber rand. Underfoot ...

Merrell Outbound Mid Gore-Tex 2011

£140.00

The Merrell Outbound Mid Gore-Tex weighs 1252g (pair, size 5); synthetic upper, Gore-Tex waterproof lining; huge rubber rand for durability; solid toe box for rockier ground; very aggressive Vibram outsole. But sole flex is softer than expected for such an aggressive stud and upper design; the mid-cut ankle cuff is also unusual for such an aggressively built boot.

Merrell Meridian Trouser 2011

£55.00

The Merrell Meridian Trousers weigh 396g (size L); Opti-wick (96% nylon + 4% elastane) two-way stretch fabric; belt loops; zipped thigh pocket; two OS map-sized pockets. But no ankle cuff adjustment; relatively wide and baggy fit compared to more technical trousers.

Merrell Bison Convertible 2010

£55.00

Merrell is best-known for its footwear, but they do also produce clothing – and the Bison Convertibles proves they can do a good job of it. The Bison Convertible is made from fast-drying nylon like most of the products in this test, and it benefits from double stitching for extra durability. Most importantly there are lower leg zips to allow ...

Merrell Chameleon Arc Gore-Tex XCR

£100.00

The Chameleon’s soft suede and mesh uppers will accommodate a variety of foot shapes, there’s plenty of room at the toes, and a good heel cup holds the feet firmly in place. The lacing system is good too, they’ve got a good amount of stiffness in the midsole – enough to provide great support over rough ground – and a ...

Merrell Col Mid Waterproof 2010

£125.00

The Merrell Col Mid Waterproof weighs 1444g (pair, size 11); leather upper; waterproof membrane; good toe box with protective rand; very aggressive Vibram outsole. But low-cut cuff limits ankle protection on rougher terrain; relatively bendy outsole limits performance on rocky ground; more mountain-orientated designs are available at the price.

Merrell Chameleon3 Axiom 2010

£85.00

The Merrell Chameleon3 Axiom weighs 864g (pair, size 8); deep aggressive outsole lug pattern for grip in mud and wet grass; narrow profile is ideal for fast, precise footwork; nubuck leather panels add durability; well-cushioned and comfy. But it is not very stable as the outsole is convex; not waterproof; lack of heel breast reduces braking downhill.

Merrell Bhutan

£50.00

A fashionably cut, loose pant that will probably attract younger walkers. The styling, plus the huge cargo pockets and the convertible legs, will restrict its appeal slightly. In the hills, they felt comfortable, courtesy of the soft, midweight fabric. They didn’t resist moisture as well as some, but dried quickly. Come with a good webbing belt, making it easy to ...

Merrell Meridian 2010

£50.00

Light and airy with just a hint of stretch to the material make Merrell’s Meridian trousers a great option for walkers heading abroad. They feel pretty good on, but I found them slightly too light and baggy to be entirely comfortable: ideal for hot weather but a bit too loose for my tastes. With an excellent ultra-violet protection factor (UPF) ...

Merrell Pantheon Sport Gore-Tex

£85.00

Very light with a soft, flexible midsole that makes it feel more like a beefed-up trainer. Gore-Tex XCR waterproof lining and a deep tread pattern that works well on a variety of surfaces. Fit can be easily fettled courtesy of good lacing. It’s well-padded, especially at the cuff and tongue, so feels good when you first put it on; and ...

Merrell Approach

£100.00

Weighs in at over 400g and this reflects in its quality and features; a pretty hefty storm flap, good pit-zips and a very adjustable hood. The pockets are quite low but can just about be accessed with a pack belt on. They also provide venting as well as just enough space to ram a map into. The fabric kept rain ...

Merrell Siren Ventilator Waterproof MID

£80.00

An incredibly soft, lightweight and comfortable boot that is really a mid-height multi-activity shoe. They flex easily and breathe exceptionally well, making them a good choice for casual summer walking. They’ll keep out water, too. A good lacing system ensures a snug enough fit, and the moulded heels help keep feet comfortably in place. The very low ankles don’t provide ...

Merrell Chameleon Arc Mid 2009

£85.00

The Merrell Chameleon Arc Mid weighs 952g (pair, size 5); waterproof lining; rubber toe bumper; Vibram outsole with reasonable stiffness. But it’s a mid-cut boot so not as protective as those with higher ankle cuff; outsole lugs not as good as some others for grip as no heel breast; upper not as durable as those with less stitching; upper not ...

Merrell Chameleon II Kahuna 2009

£55.00

Like most Merrell footwear, the Chameleon II Kahuna sandals feel great on the foot. The sole is a well-cushioned and stiff unit that resists the pounding from hard concrete or rock surfaces. There’s a good, grippy outsole lug pattern for a sandal, meaning these allow you to keep moving when the campsite turns muddy. The straps are leather with neoprene ...

But upper a bit soft around toes; no heel breast limits traction of outsole.

But access to pockets is easily obscured with rucksack belts; chest pocket is very small; hood peak is too large and floppy.

Merrell Chameleon ISO XCR

Well-padded and reasonably broad, so exceptionally comfortable, even on longer journeys. Effective lacing makes it easy to get a stable fit. Trainer-like with a surprisingly stiff and supportive midsole that works superbly on rough, rocky ground.

Merrell Octane

£55.00

A mesh upper provides this trail-running shoe with good breathability for the foot, while drainage holes along the lower edges of the forefoot allow any water to be pumped out on every stride. Synthetic overlays add welcome protection for hacking through undergrowth or over more rugged terrain. The heel cup is particularly supportive, while the toes are also well-protected. Underfoot ...

Merrell Perimeter GTX

A 3-season boot with Gore-Tex waterproof lining. Low ankle cuff allows more freedom; stiff toe box with rubber rand; leather upper and double tongue for comfort and protection; excellent stiff sole with fairly aggressive outsole. However – the boot is a little heavy at 1660g (pair, size 11) given low cut; the outsole may clog a little easier than some ...

This lightweight multi-activity shoe from Merrell weighs 1028g (pair, size 11). It’s as comfortable as it is stylish, with a Gore-Tex XCR waterproof lining and excellent rolling action when walking or running. Good toe protection and a Vibram sole provide good cushioning and reasonable grip. However, there’s no heel breast so limited grip. Other shoes are stiffer and better for ...

Merrell Chameleon Wrap Mid

£95.00

A well-padded boot with a low-cut ankle cuff that makes it feel more like a shoe than a boot. Didn’t really do that well in the Welsh hills. The tread is shallow and didn’t cope with mud and slimy peat, while the stiff midsole is difficult to walk on because of the short ankle cuff.   Colours: Olive green, coffee ...

Merrell Summit

£50.00

This midweight fleece from Merrell is rather big and baggy and, although the Lycra cuffs and high, warm collar are good, it’s disappointed that there is no hem adjustment. A lighter fleece than most with a thinner fabric, so not as warm as some. It offers good wind-resistance, though, so works well as an outer-layer. Decent pockets, too, with a ...
