Merrell have been around for a long time they are
proven in quality cutting edge technology and most of all they know
exactly how to make something just right
I have been using the Maipo water shoes for about 2 years now for
kayaking and kayak fishing they are superb I use them for both
every day use and for on and in the water use during this time I
can find no fault with them they are superb in every
way
The merrell lacing system is superb it is comfortable very practical and very secure
The front of the toe has several different material layers this makes for a strong protected toe area
The heel area also has multi layers which offer most importantly support and comfort to the wearer
The sole of the shoe is made from Vibram® WaterPro Plus
Sole/TC5+ Rubber
This is a soft to the touch but extremly hard wearing material it
is specially designed to grip in the most adversed conditions like
when launching or retriving when your foot is totally
submerged
The inside of the shoe has another special material
Anti-Friction Lining treated with Aegis® Antimicrobial solution
this all means the shoe is both comfortable and won’t harbour any
backteria
The quick venting mesh expels water very quickly from the shoe
making it ideal for our watersport
The overall look of the Merrell Waterpro Maipo is of a
sleek stylish trainer type shoe it has been specially designed for
water sports so the materials are all bound with this in mind it
won’t fall apart when its been wet a few times.
I have used mine most days for over 2 years now and they are good
for at least another year they are superb in comfort practicality
and design I am so impressed with them I just bought another pair
they have proven to be brilliant for our kayak fishing needs the
Merrell Waterpro Maipo retails at £72.00 this is fantastic value
for this product
