Back to Results Merrell Pursuit Ventilator Manufacturer: Merrell Price: $80 Reviewed in: Jun 2005 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Trail See Specifications We Say: The Ventilator, while still a bit narrow, has a better overall fit than we've seen in past Pursuit models. Perfect for summer, this shoe features breathable mesh and sockliner vents for greater breathability. The arch of the Ventilator is reinforced with a plastic bridge for added stability and enhanced heel-to-forefoot transition. The outsole is made of a tough Vibram rubber that's designed for improved traction in dry, sandy conditions. The shoe is a good choice for heavy heel-strikers or those runners with normal arches who split their time between the road and trail. Wear-tester Says: "The shoe is beefier than I'm used to, so I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it was." -Denise Yoder, 42, Reading Be the First to Review this Shoe Gender: Female Shoe Type: Trail Sizes: 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11 Weight: 11 oz.
