"Minimizing weight while packing a ton of support and traction, the Merrell Capra Sport GORE-TEX speed hiking shoe is an ideal shoe for ascending rugged terrain rapidly. Stratfuse technology creates a firm connection between foor and sole, while the UniFly midsole and TrailProtect pad provide cushioning and protection from sharp rocks and trail debris. A GORE-TEX membrane maintains a dry and breathable interior for wet-weather excursions."
