The latest addition to MERRELL's impressive lineup of hiking footwear is the TEMPO EXP ACTIVE GTX, set to be released on September 4, 2026, by Marubeni Consumer Link. Renowned for their commitment to outdoor adventure, MERRELL brings forth a shoe that combines both comfort and performance for the avid hiker, regardless of the weather conditions.
The TEMPO EXP ACTIVE GTX is designed with varying mountain weather and different trail surfaces in mind. This hiking shoe ensures that outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy their excursions, whether embarking on a short day hike or a longer weekend adventure.
Built with a combination of synthetic materials and mesh, the upper part of the shoe showcases a GORE-TEX® membrane that offers exceptional waterproofing and breathability. This feature effectively prevents water ingress during rainy days or on wet trails while minimizing moisture buildup inside the shoe, thus keeping the feet comfortable. Furthermore, the lightweight EVA foam midsole provides solid stability and cushioning, while the rubber outsole, featuring 4mm lugs, ensures reliable traction on diverse terrains.
Available in two styles, a low-cut model for increased mobility and a mid-cut version for added ankle support, the TEMPO EXP ACTIVE GTX is perfect for anyone looking to hike confidently, no matter the season or terrain conditions. This footwear promises to meet the needs of a wide array of users wanting to enjoy hiking without compromise.
