Merrell has come with me on many outdoor adventures: hiking in the Hudson Valley, exploring the mountains of El Salvador and Panama, and wandering along a sandy trek in Guatemala. I’m most often wearing their classic Moab hiking boots, but I also like their water shoes, and have been eyeing these cute sneakerina-type shoes, proving they’ve got footwear for most any occasion.
If you’re someone who also enjoys being outdoors, this is a brand that should absolutely be on your radar, if it’s not already. For a little backstory: It was founded in 1981 by two ski company execs who decided to get into the hiking gear business; in 1997, it became part of shoe industry giant Wolverine World Wide, which also owns activewear favorites like Saucony, Sweaty Betty, and Chaco, along with casual shoe brands Sperry and Hush Puppies. Over the years, Merrell itself has become well known for standout styles like the Moab hiking boot and Jungle Moc, along with its outdoor clothing and accessories (think hats, socks, and small bags). The next time you’re perusing their site, use the promo codes above and information below to find ways to trim down your order total.
