Merrell hiking footwear

Merrell is a premier American brand specialized in high-performance outdoor footwear and apparel. Founded in 1981 in Vermont, the brand was built on the foundation of providing high-quality, handcrafted hiking boots. Over the decades, Merrell has evolved from a small custom boot maker into a global leader in the outdoor outdoor industry, introducing innovative technologies like the M-Select DRY membrane visible in the product detail.

While the brand maintains its creative and design roots in the United States, its manufacturing processes are distributed globally to meet international demand. Production primarily takes place in countries across Asia, including Vietnam and China, which is standard for technical footwear. Today, Merrell operates as a subsidiary of Wolverine World Wide, a major American footwear manufacturer, ensuring its legacy of outdoor durability continues with significant global infrastructure.
