An essential part of hike heritage, Moabs have long served as inspiration for new and seasoned hikers to get outdoors, offering consistency when needed most. Today, by applying new technology to what consumers loved about Moab 2, Merrell is breathing new life into the celebrated design, offering a more environmentally friendly shoe with even more comfort, stability, and traction.<\/p>\n

“Without jeopardizing what consumers have come to love about our bestselling Moab shoe, we were able to utilize sustainable materials in construction such as 100% recycled laces, webbing and lining,\u00a0creating a more environmentally friendly Moab,” said Nathan Buelow<\/span>, senior brand marketing manager at Merrell. “On top of that, we analyzed every aspect to deliver a more supportive insole, a softer, more cushioned midsole, and the best in-class Vibram\u00ae outsole that provides our highest level of stability yet along with trusted traction.”<\/p>\n

To celebrate the launch of the next generation of Moab, Merrell has released an interactive digital game, Hike and Seek<\/a><\/i>, where users can earn rewards by completing hiking-related challenges in the world around them with special location-based challenges in New York City<\/span> and Denver<\/span>. Available until October 18<\/span>, Hike and Seek <\/i>offers a variety of fun challenges \u2013 from social, outdoor, and retail (all at zero cost) \u2013 with the chance to win Merrell merch. Those who complete 10 or more challenges will be entered to win an all-expense paid trip for themselves and a guest to Moab, Utah<\/span> in 2023.<\/p>\n

“In developing Hike and Seek<\/i>, our ultimate goal was to provide another way to get consumers outside for fresh air to benefit both their physical and mental health,” added Buelow. “A hike doesn’t need to be on the Appalachian Trail or to the top of a mountain, sometimes it means tying your shoes and exploring the world around you \u2013 which could be as far away as a national park or the local trail around the corner from wherever you call home.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
