The Merrell Chameleon has been one of the bestsellers for Merrell for some time now. They have had so much luck with the model that they have re-created the Chameleon’s over 15 times in different styles. There are Chameleon sandals, shoes, and boots. The company has a huge following and a strong customer loyalty so it is interesting and informative to understand why the Chameleon’s have been ranked as one of the top outdoor shoes in the world.
Merrell stands on the leading edge of technology and innovation and the Chameleon model is no exception.They are top of the line, high-quality products and very lightweight and flexible so you do not become exhausted by a heavy shoe. The materials are ao flexible that your foot does not become worn out from the shoe. The lining of the shoes is only the best…Gore-Tex. This makes their shoes 100% water-proof for maximum protection against the elements (this is only used in some of the Chameleon models because some do not require water-proofing).
The Chameleons have high-tech Vibram rubber soles, which is the same material that professional rock climbers prefer, and it provides durability and the strongest traction available. They also specifically place and design the traction mold for supreme grip in many terrains. I really like the Elastic Lace System. This is also footwear technology at its best. This lace system provides a tight fit with a stretch. At first one maybe skeptical of the lacing system but most customers fall in love with it real quick (not all Chameleons us the Elastic Lace System).
Lastly, Merrell has created a tailored fit for men and women. The Chameleon arch is designed specifically for the anatomical needs of a woman. This offers a snug fit for stronger support in the arch and heel areas. This design not only addresses the different shapes of women’s feet, but also the differences in ways that women walk.
