Climbing mountains, exploring forests, and trekking to a hidden waterfall or down a volcano’s crater—these are things that any nature-loving adventure seeker, such as I, does on a regular basis. Now, these might all sound very enjoyable and all fun—and they are, especially when you get to your destination and are greeted by a breathtaking sight—but they are also very very physically demanding.
That’s why anyone wishing to do any of these will find that they will need all the help they can get…especially on their feet.
This is something that Merrell understands well. That’s why it continues to come up with high-performance apparels that make it easy for anyone to cover more distance and terrains while putting less stress on their bodies. Its latest collection, (aptly named) Capra, is a testament to this mission.
Here are five great reasons why everyone who wants to get closer to nature should consider getting a pair of Merrell Capra shoes for their next adventure.
- Designed for Exploration—As its name suggests, the Capra collection takes inspiration from mountain goats, which are considered to be nature’s ultimate climbers. It’s extremely lightweight yet sturdy and is perfect for navigating even the most extreme terrains.
2. No-slip Guarantee—Each pair of Capra shoes’ outsole compound is made of Vibram Megagrip, which provides excellent grip even on wet, muddy and slippery surfaces. It also features a hoof-like design (which again takes inspiration from mountain goats).This gives the wearer excellent grip and balance, making the shoes an excellent companion for when you’re expecting to go through all sorts of terrains, including those with loads of wet rocks and slimy roots.
3. Ideal for Philippine Weather—Capra shoes are built with ventilated upper mesh that provides your feet ample protection yet allows them to breathe. What does this mean for you and me? Well, wearing breathable shoes greatly reduces the chances of you getting sweaty feet, which can lead to blisters. Simply put, breathable shoes equals less chances of blisters.
4. Unparalleled Support—As with any other Merrell items, shoes included in the Capra collection are engineered to provide optimum support to its wearer. Its UniFly midsole ensures that you get soft, comfortable strides by strategically providing heavy cushion to your soles, which tapers down to lighter cushioning in the toes.
5. Urban Wild Design—Capra shoes are very tough looking, there’s no denying that. But at the same time, they come in bright dynamic colors, which sort of tones down all the hardness in the design. The will pair with any gym outfit and are ideal for adding a touch of color to every day casual looks.
