Merrell Antora

The Merrell Atora, a running shoe made exclusively for women, has landed on the market. This new silhouette of the American brand is made thinking about the problems that afflict women when running . And there are many needs that have not yet been covered when it comes to the way female runners run.

In this case, these trail running shoes derive from the need to solve knee valgus or "knock knees", which is a condition in which the knees touch. This silhouette is designed especially for training, as it is very difficult to run at a high pace. This Merrell Atora is perfect for those long runs, for spending all day in the mountains and for those women who are new to trail running.

Merrell Atora, general features

Perhaps what is most striking about this new model from Merrell is the generous cushioning that offers security on those rocky descents. The QForm2 midsole has been manufactured , which stands out for taking into account those differences in the support and pressure points of women's footsteps. It also has a removable EVA insole, which continues to provide extra cushioning on those mountain runs.

This Merrell Atora has the Vibram TC5+ outsole along with Adaptive Lug technology, which responds to abrasion excellently and allows the lugs to not file easily. It also has an anti-rock plate, which works to protect the sole of the foot from any aggression against impacts that may occur on the trail.

The upper features a breathable internal mesh to keep the feet cool. This upper also features Fresh M Select Technology, which reduces odors in the shoe.
