Merrell NOVA 18 Trainers - Red - UK 12

Yes, the FloatPro Foam midsole and cushioning provide comfort for long-distance wear, and the Quantum Grip™ outsole offers reliable traction on varied terrain.

The trainers are designed for outdoor use and offer good grip in wet conditions due to the Quantum Grip™ outsole. However, they are not waterproof and may not provide significant insulation in very cold or wet weather.

It means that components of the shoes, such as the laces and the cover of the footbed, are made from post-consumer recycled materials, contributing to sustainability.

The Quantum Grip™ rubber is engineered for durability and high traction, designed to withstand the abrasive nature of trail environments.

Yes, the 50% recycled EVA foam footbed is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or different types of insoles for personalized support and comfort.

These trainers are primarily designed for trail running and rugged outdoor activities where grip, cushioning, and foot connection to the ground are important.

Ensure you have the correct size (UK 12). If the issue persists, try removing the included footbed and inserting a thinner or custom orthotic, or wear thinner socks.

Clean the Quantum Grip™ outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn.

This is typical of highly breathable shoes. For very hot conditions, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. For cooler conditions, consider socks with some thermal properties.

Try double-knotting the laces. Ensure the laces are in good condition and not excessively worn or frayed.
