Merrell

Merrell brings decades of outdoor expertise to trail running. Drawing on their hiking heritage and the belief that getting outside benefits everyone, the brand makes durable trail running shoes with a reliable grip and natural feel. This grounded approach translates into subdued, earthy colours and functional design that echo the wild terrain their shoes are built to explore. Oberson carries a wide range of Merrell trail running shoes.

Merrell Trail Running Shoes

Merrell was founded in 1981 to manufacture high-performance hiking boots designed for durability and long-lasting comfort. That strong outdoor foundation continues to shape the brand’s approach to trail running, where ground feel, traction, and real-world reliability undergird every design. The shoes’ aesthetic of natural colour tones, textures, and motifs—evoking moss, bark, webs, waves, and roots—reinforces this connection to the outdoors, creating footwear that looks and feels at home on the trails.

Trail Performance for Varied Terrain

At Oberson, you’ll find trail models, such as the Agility Peak 6, built for the most rugged terrain with protective cushioning and deep lugs. High-performance options like the MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx are designed to be lightweight, nimble, and grippy on technical trails. Versatile shoes, such as the ProMorph, excel on moderate trails, gravel paths, and paved roads alike.
