Technologies footwear technologies The Merrell commitment to technology and innovation is a core tenet of the brand. We continuously seek out the best solutions to enhance the outdoor experience for our users. Whether it is through partnerships with industry leaders or development of proprietary technologies, our pursuit of increasing comfort and enjoyment in the outdoors is relentless, and our list of applied technologies is ever growing and evolving. It is for this reason we have begun building a repository to capture and explain the key ingredients that make up our footwear. The following pages provide an overview for technologies where more information is available. 59 59
Technologies 1. Insoles Structured but highly flexible and light. The unique design of these insoles provides support while still allowing the foot to flex naturally. Kinetic Fit insoles gently support key areas of the foot to encourage muscles to stay in a relaxed, athletic position. This helps reduce foot fatigue, which, over time, may help prevent injury. Base Flexible Support Tri Light Support Contoured shape and intuitive triple-zone arch support support Contoured like your foot, Kinetic Fit insoles provide Structured zones at the three primary arches of the flexible, intuitive support for connected and protected foot provide light support throughout the day. movement. Advanced MEDIUM Support ELITE maximum Support Enhanced heel stability Enhanced heel stability and heel cushioning and full foot cushioning Enhanced heel and arch structure with Maximum support and long lasting comfort for integrated cushion pod reduces foot fatigue extended periods of standing or walking during providing medium support for demanding demanding pursuits. pursuits. 60
Technologies 2. Insulation Different winter conditions and activity levels call for different strategies for ensuring feet stay warm and comfortable. Merrell offers a variety of insulations to provide the ideal level of warmth based on wearing conditions and activity. This allows us to tailor the weight, flexibility, and thermal retention of our shoes to a variety of outdoor pursuits. M Select™ warm M Select WARM traps and reflects your body heat to keep you warm and comfortable in cold conditions. 3M™ thinsulate™ 3M™ Thinsulate™ Water-Resistant Insulation, the original thin insulation designed specifically for footwear. primaloft ® gold insulation aerogel PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation Aerogel is an innovative breakthrough that offers unprecedented performance in the face of extreme conditions. It maintains its insulative properties even when compressed, making it ideal for footwear. 61
Technologies 3. Lacing Merrell offers a variety of lacing solutions based on end use and activity needs. For the majority of these, we control the manufacturing process in conjunction with the creation of the footwear itself. The partnership below represents a departure based on the specific and unique design of the BOA system. Fit to go further. ™ The award-winning Boa System delivers closure and adjustment solutions purpose-built for performance. Boa’s patented system consists of three integral parts: a micro-adjustable dial, super-strong lightweight laces, and low friction lace guides. Each unique configuration is engineered to optimize fit and provide precision, adaptability, and control. The Boa System dials and laces are guaranteed for the lifetime of the product on which they are integrated. Merrell uses the Boa L-SERIES system because its lightweight, versatile design is ideal for outdoor performance footwear. The L-SERIES is for the agile athlete who needs meticulous adjustment capabilities for ultimate comfort, adaptability, and overall performance. The L-SERIES can increase precision in single or dual zones, for the most dialed in fit. 62
Technologies 4. Engineered Materials “Off the roll” is what shoe designers call picking out standard materials to build a shoe. These materials are produced in large sheets of the same repeated stitches, and are then cut out to the desired shape and sewn into the shoe. But at Merrell, we believe that “standard” doesn’t always cut it in the outdoors. That’s why we developed customized, unique-to-Merrell materials that meet the durability and quality standards you come to expect from Merrell, engineered to perform during all of your amazing life adventures. E-mesh Unlike regular mesh, which is made up of uniform, repeated stitches, E-Mesh is strategically knit and layered in patterns to provide zones of flexibility, breathability, and durability precisely where they’re needed in the shoe. Jacquard Using a similar process in which the woven label on the inside of your shirts is made, Jacquard is specifically woven into layers of multiple crisscrossing threads which provides protection that’s lighter weight, more flexible, and more durable than most other materials. 2D Knit The components for 2D Knit shoes are individually knit from a single thread, shoe by shoe, which results in a comfortable, durable, seam-free shoe with 4-way stretch that can adapt to the moving foot without restriction. 3D Knit Merrell 3D Knit shoes are constructed by wrapping durable, elastic threads all the way around the foot – similar to the way socks are made – to provide uncompromised 360-degree, 4-way stretch, comfort, and durability. 63
Technologies 5. Midsoles and Platforms Merrell lets you find the right “ride” for any terrain with a variety of midsole and platform technologies to enhance the support, protection, and comfort of our footwear. Flex index – Underfoot flex rating system Everyone has individual preferences around pack hike boot flexibility. That‘s why we created the Flex Index – a rating system that grades our pack boots from most flexible/connected to most rigid/protected. This allows the user to quickly identify and select the experience they are seeking. Flexplate ™ – TUNED STABILITY AND PROTECTION Merrell FlexPlate™ technology integrates a lightweight, full foot stability plate with strategically placed outsole pods to provide stability, underfoot protection, durability, and integrated grip. Variable material composition offers optimal rigidity at one end of the plate and optimal flexibility at the other. M Select ™ CUSH – Ultra Lightweight Cushioning and Protection Entirely reformulated, M Select™ CUSH midsoles combine the benefits of EVA and rubber to produce an extremely lightweight material that provides long- lasting rebound and excellent traction. It is 40% lighter than its predecessor, which adds up to going farther, faster, more comfortably. flexconnect ™ – SECURE FIT. NATURAL FLEX. SERIOUS GRIP. Merrell FLEXconnect™ platform technology integrates SECURE FIT, NATURAL FLEX, and SERIOUS GRIP to deliver agility and stability on any terrain. By designing these foundational elements to function in conjunction with one another, we‘re able to deliver a responsive, intuitive ride – the perfect balance of fit, flex, and grip to connect you to your outdoor experience. Hydramorph ™ – move water out Hydramorph™ technology transports water out of a shoe using a series of engineered channels and drainage ports in the midsole and outsole. This free movement of water out of the shoe keeps feet comfortable during water activities and significantly reduces the shoe’s dry-out time. 64
Technologies Q Form ™ 2 – Comfort technology for women Created to specifically address the needs of active outdoor women, Q Form™ 2 technology is designed to work with the unique movement in a woman‘s stride. Women generally have shorter arches and greater muscle elasticity. The way women‘s hips are angled (called the “Q angle” or quadriceps angle), also affects the way her body moves. Q Form™ 2 technology combines a supportive insole and naturally stabilizing midsole construction to work with these unique motions, maximizing comfort. Air cushion – Targeted heel cushioning Air Cushion technology improves overall comfort of a shoe by placing an impact-absorbing pod under the heel to reduce stress on the foot with each step. The pliable material lessens impact during heel strike, and helps cradle the heel to maintain proper alignment during step-through resulting in greater comfort all day. Air cushion viz – Full width heel cushioning Air Cushion Viz technology places a wide cushioning zone under the full width of the heel to absorb impact and cradle the heel for optimal stability and support. This encourages proper alignment of the stride and offers improved comfort for extended wear. Air cushion+ – Lightweight full-foot cushioning for all day comfort Dimpled for your pleasure, our Air Cushion+ technology provides a combination of solutions for the ultimate heel-to-toe air-ride cushioning experience. Its dimpled design both reduces weight and creates cushioning air pockets that run the length of the foot. An additional heel insert reduces heel impact for even more comfort. Air Cushion+ also goes a step beyond cushioning with strategically placed lugs designed to further reduce the overall weight of the shoe while still providing exceptional durability and traction. BLOOM BLOOM makes flexible foams from algae biomass which cleans and restores the environment when harvested. They help keep natural ecologies in balance, and in return, we get an incredible renewable resource that helps us offset the use of petroleum in traditional footwear foams. Shoes made from Bloom Algae Foam components are the result of 225 bottles of filtered water returned to the habitat, and 21 balloons of C02 kept from entering the atmosphere*. *Men’s size 9 insole + midsole, 200g, 25% algae masterbatch. PORON VIVE PORON® Vive delivers long-lasting comfort and performance step after step. It promotes reliable cushioning performance with less thickness and weight and will not pack out or break down over time. With active response to energy from every step, it delivers a resilient feel that applies energy from one step to the next. And it reduces energy transferred to joints and muscles from step shock to minimize fatigue. 65
