The Merrell Cirrus silhouette will appear in the spring 2019 season in the catalog of the Merrell brand. We have already been able to check some details of this silhouette, and so we are going to tell you the main features and details that we find in this new silhouette. It is a very light mountain shoe, its characteristics are oriented to the climb, given its flexibility and lightness. Lacking a bit of protection for the descents.
In the upper we find a seamless upper with translucent nylon and good breathability. In the heel area we have used a protective and stabilizing band that improves support in the heel area. This confirms the exclusive dedication to mountain climbs, while maintaining all the details of the shoe in the rear part. For the laces, a traditional closure system, so you can adjust these trail shoes in a personalized way. On the inside we find a textile padding, both in the back and in the tongue, to improve the feeling of comfort with every step.
The lower part of the shoe features a thick midsole and a Vibram rubber outsole to provide the necessary grip and durability in any type of mountainous terrain.
Well, the answer is very simple, for those runners who want to run explosive uphill races and recover on the downhill. Obviously you can also run downhill with these Merrell Cirrus, but it is not recommended in this shoe with so little protection in the forefoot area. With this we do not mean to imply that it vaya be a shoe with little durability, only that it is a specific shoe, oriented to the climbs in the mountains.
