Merrell Men's Nova 3 Mid WP Hiking Boots will ensure that you will be comfortable and stable on your next hike. An update to this boot includes, more durable uppers for over-the-foot protection and forefoot and heel FloatPro Foam pods to cushion your every step. The midsole is designed so that it provides durable shock absorption that will assist with the boot's torque and will allow a smooth transition into the midfoot. Not only does the Nova 3 have Vibram® TC5+ for exceptional traction while enjoying multi-sport activities, it is also waterproof so you don't have to let a bit of rain or walking through a shallow creek get in the way of your adventures.
