Merrell Speed Eco Mid Waterproof Men's Black

The Eco-Friendly Boot That Makes You Feel Good About Feeling Good

So you want to save the planet AND your ankles? Well, aren't you ambitious. The Speed Eco Mid is basically the Prius of hiking boots - it's 82% recycled, tells everyone about it, and somehow still performs better than your old gas-guzzling boots.

What's the deal with all this recycling?

Merrell went full Marie Kondo on this boot. The laces? Recycled. The upper? 82% recycled. The footbed? 50% recycled. Even the rubber outsole is 30% recycled. At this point, the only thing that's not recycled is your excuse for not going hiking.

Features (AKA reasons to justify another boot purchase):

• Waterproof membrane - Because puddles don't care about your eco-consciousness
• 82% recycled Jacquard upper - Fancier than it sounds, more sustainable than your last relationship
• 100% recycled laces - They've been around the block. Literally.
• Bellows tongue - Keeps debris out better than your spam filter
• Cleansport NXT™ odor control - Your hiking buddies will thank you
• Lightweight EVA midsole - Like walking on clouds, if clouds were made of recycled materials and good intentions
• 30% recycled rubber outsole - Grips trails like you grip your coffee on Monday mornings

Perfect for: Saving the planet one hike at a time, impressing environmentally conscious friends, and finally having an answer when someone asks "But what are YOU doing about climate change?"

Not perfect for: People who think recycling is just a suggestion.
