MERRELL “WRAPT” Series FW2025｜Versatile Barefoot Shoes for Everyday Wear and Light Hiking
Outdoor brand MERRELL introduces new Fall/Winter 2025 additions to its popular barefoot shoe line WRAPT. The latest lineup includes three new styles: Chukka, Bungee, and Slip-On, designed to seamlessly transition from everyday lifestyle use to light hiking adventures.
Let’s dive into the details of these exciting new models that combine natural foot movement with stylish design.
What is WRAPT? Experience Natural, Barefoot-Like Walking
The key feature of WRAPT is its barefoot construction. Unlike traditional shoes that have a heel-to-toe drop (difference in sole thickness), barefoot shoes offer a zero-drop design, allowing for a more natural, barefoot-like walking experience.
This design helps engage muscles and balance that are often underused, potentially improving running form, injury prevention, and overall training efficiency.
If you are new to barefoot shoes, you may feel some initial discomfort. We recommend starting with casual daily wear to allow your feet to gradually adapt.
Premium Leather Design Meets Outdoor-Ready Sole
Unlike many previous Merrell barefoot models geared toward training, the WRAPT series features a stylish leather upper, making it easy to wear naturally in urban settings while maintaining a sleek look.
The outsole is equipped with Merrell’s proprietary Quantum Grip technology, offering excellent traction and durability. Its 4mm deep lugs provide reliable ground contact, making the WRAPT ideal for light hiking and outdoor activities.
The lining features breathable mesh material for all-day comfort, even during extended wear.
