Style of the Moc Nubuck
The nubuck leather adds elegance to the shoe, but the rugged outsole creates the perfect contrast that compliments the whole low-top silhouette. Pairing these with trousers and jeans can make one go from work to play in a breeze without the hassle of changing shoes.
Notable Features
Enduring different activities, the Jungle Moc Nubuck is clad with varying technologies like the Merrell M Select FIT.ECO. This technology is composed of a blended EVA that has strategical heel and arch reinforcements that offer superior stability, comfort, and support.
Teaming up with this advancement is the boost in underfoot padding that helps the wearer withstand uneven terrains and strong foot strikes.
Great for plantar fasciitis
Being a skilled shoemaker himself, Randy Merrell shifted to making handmade cleats from an industrial shoe-making school. In 1981, he decided to work together with John Schweiser and Clark Matis, two former ski company executives.
This team-up covered all that is needed for business— excellent product craftsmanship and a strong background in the industry and athletic experience.
The trio was able to produce high-performance hiking cleats at affordable prices. The no-compromise plan is applied to how they produce cleats.
Comfort, design, durability, and versatility are all included in their core values, and the qualities that they ensure are persistent in their products. One of their more recent releases is the Merrell Jungle Moc Nubuck, a slip-on everyday shoe.
