Below I explain the test experience

1. Appearance and Weight: Observe the design of this shoe.

Appearance design is still relatively novel, especially the design of breathable mesh and most shoes are not the same, unlike most hiking shoes, there is a kind of heavy feeling. The design is novel and fashionable. It is also very good to wear this shoe when wearing casual clothes in urban areas.

2, comfort: whether comfortable. Check your toes, feet, and whether they are comfortable and dry after climbing.

The dual-core design makes it very comfortable to put on shoes. When walking downhill, the toes feel no oppression. The feet have no obvious uncomfortable feeling when walking on various roads for a long time. The effect of shock is that the shoes can cling to various parts of the foot, which also avoids the problems of friction between the shoes and the feet after long walking.

Antibacterial Comfort Insole Designed to take off shoes after wearing for a long period of time, there is no noticeable odor in the feet, which embodies the function of “antibacterial lining, anti-mite, and odor” in the Merrell Chameleon series hiking shoes introduction. (Because I can't penetrate shoes with poor air quality, so the requirements for shoes are very high. I purposely wear a pair of thick socks and want to verify the effect of the shoes on the antibacterial properties, odor control and odor control.)

3, breathability:

Visually watching the Merrell Chameleon series of hiking shoes feels that the breathability performance is not very good. After walking for a long time, the feet of the shoes are still dry, indicating that the breathable mesh plays a very good role. One day after wearing a pair of shoes, there is no smell on the feet. This is more satisfying and breathable. It was also a good day to walk down and did not feel bad.

4. VIBRAM® TC5+ rubber sole: anti-abrasive rubber outsole from Italy, famous for its anti-wear, durable, non-slip, and strong grip.

(On the feeling of sole testing: There are asphalt roads, mountain roads, and slopes of more than 40 degrees in the activity. The performance of the grip is satisfactory. The design of the sole lines is also effective in avoiding the slime of the soles of the shoes and increasing the weight of the shoes, as long as it is not damp. The stone's grip performance is indisputable, and a smooth upper of 40 degrees can stand steadily on it.)
The trotting on the asphalt pavement is not as obvious as other V-soles. The design of the sole and the design of the insole effectively buffer the momentary pressure when the foot touches the ground, effectively solving the problem of shock pressure due to the foot. Injured foot joints.

Integrate the above test Merrell Chameleon series hiking shoes

With high comfort and grip, it is very suitable for hiking, picnicking, camping and other activities, but personally think that the price of this shoe is high, the same price shoes are basically GTX.

In a word, this pair of shoes personally feel very satisfied, especially the performance of the smell is nothing to say.

Personal test result satisfaction

Protection function The feeling of different road conditions TPU protection structure AIR CHUSION embedded cushion cushioning system is very satisfied with the comfort, fully embodies the various effects of the shoes, the ankle, heel, arch, forefoot, toes, etc. The parts play a very good protection.
The performance of the soles grip: very good

Breathability and comfort : AEGIS Antibacterial Inner Effect ORTHOLITE Antibacterial Comfort Insole Effect.

Very satisfied, it reflects the fact that the function of the odor control introduced by the shoes is a fact.
