Merrell Antora 2 GORE-TEX Women's Trail Running Shoes
Featuring sneaker-light comfort and confidence-boosting support and traction, Antora 2 is uniquely tailored to women ready to find themselves in places they've dared to look.
GORE-TEX Upper
The Merrell Antora 2 GORE-TEX Women's Trail Running Shoe is constructed using a mesh and TPU upper and with a breathable mesh lining; the mesh allows air to fully permeate the upper providing a supply of cool, fresh air whilst simultaneously forcing out hot, muggy air that resides in the shoe during heavy exertion. The bonded InvisibleFit constructed upper offers lightweight, breathable protection that fits and feels like an unprotected shoe, for full protection whilst out on the trail without compromising quick footing. Engineered with a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, the Antora GORE-TEX offers complete waterproof performance and exceptional breathability; step confidently and comfortably through wet and muddy terrain as the GORE-TEX membrane allows water vapour to escape without letting water droplets in. A breathable mesh lining works with M-Select FRESH antimicrobial agents to keep you feeling cooler and fresher for longer; the antimicrobial agents reside in the shoe lining and materials preventing sweat and moisture from affecting the freshness of your shoe by penetrating and disrupting the reproduction of the odour-causing microbes in your shoes. The hyperlock TPU Film Heel Counter combined with the traditional lace closure system provides a secure fit locking the foot into the shoe and anchoring to the midsole to reduce in-shoe slippage for quick descents and sharp turns.
EVA Midsole
Providing the perfect combination of stability and comfort, the EVA midsole will keep you protected when you are on varied and volatile trails. Upon every step, the EVA will provide cushioning which will place less pressure on your joints. This will help to reduce fatigue and injuries from occurring, allowing you to push yourself further. The cushioning will also feel extremely soft providing a high level of comfort. The EVA will transfer energy equally around the midsole, which will result in a stable and sturdy ride. All heavy impacts are absorbed instantly, preventing them from reaching the sole of the feet and causing discomfort or even damage. A rock plate will provide further security and solid protection underfoot.
Vibram Outsole
Designed with Vibram TC5+ these shoes are designed for those who want a challenge; with the best combination of traction and durability, these trail running shoes are perfect for slippery and challenging terrain. The high-performance rubber compound offers grip and traction on wet and dry surfaces in the most extreme temperatures and with the outsole design boasting no lugs underneath the arch, your foot is encouraged to flex more naturally with greater comfort - the ideal shoe for demanding activity.
