It gets the job done well so that I could make it to the mountaintop in record time! The Merrell Nova is a rugged-looking shoe On the terrain it prefers, the Nova 3 feels agile.

As soon as they arrive with us, they get allocated to one of our experienced gear testers who take them through their paces over a range of off-road terrain and distances. The heel cup on the Merrell Nova is rigid yet padded to keep my feet free from unwanted motion inside the shoe.The Merrell Nova is designed as a trail runner, and it works well for this purpose. The features that make it so great for hiking also weigh in its favor as a trail runner. The RW Takeaway: The Nova doesn’t skimp on traction, cushioning, or durability (despite its modest price) and is well-suited for wet terrain and trails of moderate difficulty. I found that I was able to summit a mountain faster than usual in this model, running partway and hiking the rest. There are a few shoes that would allow me to do this. Breathable upper We found the Sense Ride 5’s Contragrip outsole offers much more reliable grip over a range of surfaces. It also felt a bit more agile and responsive. Although, the Salomon Sense Ride 5 does have a narrower fit, which won’t suit everyone.

Its design is similar to that of brands such as Altra or Topo, with a lower heel-to-toe drop than many traditional running shoes and a roomy toe box. The shoe includes a durable toe bumper for protection as well. I can attest that, without the bumper, I would have probably experienced a toe stub on at least one of my hikes or runs. Reflective strips on the Nova The Merrell Nova is a versatile and comfortable hiking shoe that's perfect for any trail. With a combination of durability, support, and breathability, this shoe is designed to keep your feet comfortable and protected during long hikes. The Merrell Nova appeared to have the right balance of lightweight performance, grip and cushioning.
