Back to Results Merrell Cruise Control Manufacturer: Merrell Price: $95 Reviewed in: Dec 2007 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Trail See Specifications See a Video Review Disclaimer We Say: The new Cruise Control is one tough trail shoe, due in part to a nearly indestructible Vibram outsole. The shoe's midsole features reinforced tubes running through the heel to improve support and a plastic plate from heel to forefoot that provides protection from trail debris. This helps make it one of the firmest shoes in this guide, according to RW Shoe Lab tests. Recommended for bigger runners who run on fire roads or cinder trails and are looking for a durable supportive trainer. Wear-tester Says: "The shoe had excellent support and great traction. The laces were awesome, but they bounce around too much."--Nicci Ciranna, 22, East Lansing Be the First to Review this Shoe Gender: Male Shoe Type: Trail Sizes: 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 13, 14, 15 Weight: 14 oz.
