Description
What if your outdoor gear could be as adaptable as a chameleon, changing organically to suit the surrounding environment, rather than sticking out like a bulky sore thumb? Building upon the concept Merrell introduced over 15 years ago, the Chameleon 7 blends various protective and stability features within an ultra-lightweight, athletically influenced design. Inspired by mountain running and now more refined, these hiking shoes start with the attributes you know, including a grippy, multidirectional outsole and waterproof protection, and greatly expand upon that with FlexPlate™ technology, which enhances stability, guards against bruising, and adds impact and shock resistance. Thus, when you’re eyeing those 4,000-footers, these fully help you along all the way up to the peak.
- Upper features a combination of nubuck, suede, and mesh
- Breathable mesh lining
- Traditional lace-up closure
- Bellows tongue blocks out debris
- A rubber toe cap protects against bumps, sharp edges, and rough, rugged terrain

- Powered by FlexPlate™ – This ultra-lightweight feature, sitting below the midsole, protects your feet with a layered nubuck upper and weighs 25% lighter than the Chameleon II Leather. It comes in two grades of rigidity: flexible and more rigid for extra protection, with both offering tuned stability. The design, collectively, offers protection from stone bruising and sharp rocks, includes a cups heel for full-length torsional rigidity, and gives you shock and impact resistance in extreme conditions
- Flex Index Grade 2 is ideal for backpacking
- M Select™ DRY waterproof treatment sheds moisture from the exterior, blocks wind, and allows interior vapors to escape, keeping you dry inside and out
