Today on #TrailTuesday I, @SavNorthWest wanted to tell you about the newest addition to my summer hiking gear. The ‘All Out Blaze Sieve’ from @MerrellOutside Shown above in bright green and fully loaded with some of my personal favorite technology. Such as, the Vibram sole, Lycra neoprene ankle for easy on/off and finally, weighing no more then one pound! Three huge things to factor in when seeking out your next water friendly footwear. Like most Merrell shoes, the traction on the All Out Blaze Sieves is dialed. I’ve even logged a few miles of trail running in these. The surroundings of the shoe are ventilated throughout for breathability and quick dry. So there will be no need to swap out shoes after you’ve been chasing waterfalls all day. I find the toe base to be a roomy match for my foot type. A perfect shoe for your liquid trails and versatile for the dry ones. Recently, a couple of our very own #WomenWhoHike ambassadors have also took the Sieves out for some miles on the trail, here’s what they said. . “The right footwear for a water hike can make or break your day. These amazing hydro hikers hug my feet in all the right places, without any uncomfortable rubbing. Honestly, my mind was blown by just how comfortable they were the first time I wore them. I give these a 10/10 and would recommend them to everyone. They’re by far my favorite hiking shoe.” -@_WhitneyKerr . “I could not believe how comfortable these shoes were after wearing them for a week straight hiking all over humid Hawaii. Despite all the water crossings, I did not get a single blister. I love how ventilated they feel but yet protective around my feet. The soft attached tongue and speed lacing is great. Best of all, I didn’t even need to break them in!” – @Hanhandon . All that being said I think you found your new water shoe. Aggressive enough to keep up with all your summer travels. Order them today with FREE shipping at Merrell.com
