Product Information

Gore invests heavily in field testing to understand end user needs which allows Gore to provide the GORE-TEX® GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ promise. Read more about the condition New with box: A brand-new, unused, unworn and undamaged item in its original packaging (such as the original box or bag) and/or with the original tags attached. The Takeaway: The affordable Zion combines the support and performance of a hiker with a stylish trim that’s at home in urban settings. Consistently we’ve found the Zion runs hot, especially in the toe box where leather and rubber provide protection but limit sweat from evaporating.

Their durability doesn’t come at the expense of comfort either; with the EVA foam midsole in play these boots were easy on my feet when the terrain was not.

The Merrell Zion GTXs are – very deliberately – inspired by a sneaker design and feel, following the trend set by Adidas Terrex and Columbia’s new SH/FT Outdry range for hiking shoes to almost look like a pair of super-cool fashion trainers. The Zion Gtx have a ballistic mesh upper and durable leather that together with the waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex membrane help to keep your feet dry and comfortable at all times. Ballistic mesh is very durable but still lightweight and the leather is full grain so high quality and adds a touch of class without too much weight.There is a protective rubber toe cap, keeping your toes safe on rocky terrain and enabling some basic jamming of your shoe into cracks and crevices while scrambling; and the metal eyelets, webbing loops and stability arm are more than adequate for a lacing system. All components are built for optimised sweat management to ensure extreme breathability and optimum comfort in high aerobic conditions. As for the lugs, Merrell made it a priority to use a shape with straighter edges that can better bite into surfaces.

Garments engineered with GORE-TEX® Pro product technology are built for maximised ruggedness and are ideal for extreme and extended use. The footbed is nice and spongy, but it’s the three-quarter-length, hardened-TPU plate—which sits between the outsole and the midsole—that provides enough support to keep our foot from fatiguing during all-day hikes. By removing the traditional external face fabric breathability is maximised while sweat accumulation and weight is reduced.

Specialised cushioning supports your feet with underfoot cushioning and arch support make Merrell shoes a fantastic choice. I certainly wouldn’t describe the Merrell Zion GTXs as the promised land of the future of hiking, nor do I think people are wearing them in heaven.

Once the claim has been submitted, it will take 45 business days (approximately 2 months) for the courier to settle the claim one way or the other. Built on a trail running platform for a trainer-like fit, it provides comfort and style from the word go. The protective rubber toe cap meant my toes were safe from stumbles and bumps, and I was thoroughly impressed by the undercut heel to help braking on the way downhill. The lacing system is pretty standard, and the lightweight nature of the construction means that it's easy to cinch the material in over the individual contours of your feet.

Designed to take you from your doorstep to the trail and beyond, they unlock adventure from the first step. Or, in other words, the FlexPlate will absorb and disperse shock as you hike over rugged, rough terrain, providing enough rigidity to protect you against unhealthy twisting or turning of the foot and ankle.
