Since 1982, Merrell has been making shoes and boots for every season, every element and every adventure. Merrell's mountaineering and hiking boots, trail running shoes, sport sandals, and casual shoes continue to offer the same uncompromising quality, comfort and innovative design that inspired Randy Merrell to make the first pair of Merrell hiking boots in 1981. With the start of the new millennium, Merrell will continue to create cutting-edge, high-performance outdoor footwear that looks great, feels great, and performs better than anything else you've ever worn.
