What if your outdoor gear could be as adaptable as a chameleon, changing organically to suit the surrounding environment, rather than sticking out like a bulky sore thumb? Building upon the concept Merrell introduced over 15 years ago, the Chameleon 7 blends various protective and stability features within an ultra-lightweight, athletically influenced design. Inspired by mountain running and now more refined, these mid-height boots start with the attributes you know, including a grippy, multidirectional outsole and waterproof protection, and greatly expand upon that with FlexPlate™ technology, which enhances stability, guards against bruising, and adds impact and shock resistance. Thus, when you’re eyeing those 4,000-footers, these fully help you along all the way up to the peak.
