Merrell and Gore-tex team up to create glove-fit sports footwear

Sports footwear and apparel brand Merrell, has teamed up with Gore-tex to create two new sports footwear products.

The Merrell Gore-tex ConnectFit range, including the Proterra and Ascend Glove designs, has been created to provide natural glove-like fit with breathability and waterproof performance.

The layers underfoot are minimised to allow the shoe to contour the foot, designed to give flexibility around key areas of the foot to let it move more naturally within the shoe.

Gore-tex technology is used to provide waterproof and breathable performance for moderate and warmer conditions, and for high aerobic-output activities including running.

Merrell was founded by Clark Matis, Randy Merrell and John Schweitzer in 1981 and has provided outdoor enthusiasts with quality performance footwear ever since. The company’s philosophy is based on encouraging and equipping everyone to Get Outside to seek adventure, exhilaration and new experiences. As the concept of ‘outdoor’ has broadened to include all types of activities and environments – both natural and urban – Merrell has evolved its product range and categories to accommodate ‘The New Outdoor’. The company was founded on the principle of developing bespoke footwear and has invested heavily in research and partnered with other forward-thinking companies such as GORE-TEX® Footwear, Polartec®, Thinsulate™ Insulation and Vibram® to provide consumers with revolutionary high-performance footwear. The Merrell brand is wholly owned by Wolverine World Wide Inc. which was founded in 1883 in the US and now ranks as the world’s largest marketer of branded lifestyle and performance footwear.
