Nova 3 Sneaker - Kids'

M Select GRIP is a proprietary technology by Merrell that uses a special type of rubber in the outsoles of their shoes. This technology is designed to provide superior traction and grip on various surfaces, which means you can confidently tackle outdoor activities without worrying about slipping. Whether you're hiking on rocky trails or walking on wet surfaces, shoes with M Select GRIP help ensure your safety and stability.

A hook-and-loop strap, commonly known as Velcro, consists of two parts: one side has tiny hooks, and the other has soft loops. When pressed together, they create a secure closure. This type of fastener is especially useful for shoes because it allows for easy adjustments and quick on-and-off access. It's perfect for kids or anyone who needs to get ready in a hurry, making it a convenient choice for everyday wear.

100% recycled PET polyester means that the lining of the shoes is made entirely from recycled materials, specifically recycled plastic bottles and containers. Choosing shoes made from this material is an environmentally friendly option, as it helps reduce waste and promotes sustainability. By wearing these shoes, you’re not only getting a quality product but also contributing to a healthier planet.

TPU overlays are additional layers made from thermoplastic polyurethane, a flexible and durable material. These overlays are placed over the main upper part of the shoe to provide extra support and protection. By reinforcing the mesh upper, TPU overlays help make the shoe more robust and long-lasting, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of outdoor activities while maintaining comfort.

Breathability refers to a material's ability to allow air to pass through it, which is crucial for keeping your feet cool and dry. In footwear, a breathable upper, like mesh, helps moisture and heat escape, preventing sweat buildup. This feature enhances comfort during physical activities, making your shoes more enjoyable to wear for extended periods, whether you're hiking, running, or just out for a walk.

The combination of M Select GRIP for traction, hook-and-loop straps for easy adjustments, recycled PET polyester for sustainability, TPU overlays for durability, and breathability for moisture control all work together to enhance your comfort during outdoor activities. These features ensure that your shoes not only fit well and stay secure but also keep your feet dry and supported, allowing you to focus on enjoying your adventures without discomfort.
