With the rise of "athleisure" is mainstream fashion, the iconic footwear brand Merrell partnered with fashion brand Outdoor voices to launch the Outdoor Voices x Merrell hiking boots. The two brands created the ultimate stylish and avant-garde hiking boot -- the Moab 2 Mid Waterproof. The boot is a reworked iteration of Merrell's Moab boot that's now a utilitarian hiking boot that appeals to your inner fashionista. The Moab 2 Mid Waterproof boot is durable, support, and -- as the name suggests -- waterproof.
The Outdoor Voices x Merrell boots are available to purchase online and in select retailers for $130. They are the perfect go-to for your next hike and will give you a memorable social media moment.
