When
we received the WaterPro Ultra-Sport shoes,
two things you notice immediately is the
light weight and the micro mesh design which
assists in a few areas; heat reduction and
quicker drying time when you are on the
trails with wet terrain, creeks or hiking
near lakes.
We
were excited about this particular "terrain"
shoe, because it offered what other outdoor
shoes do not, and that is the versatility
when off-roading on several trails.
When it was our turn to be the spotter, our
footing or rather gripping on the rocks was
superior than wearing regular tennis shoes
or work boots.
In
addition to the versatility on the different
type terrains we ventured on with our rigs,
we also hit a popular river with rafting and
tubing. When you do this, it is
imperative that you wear some type of shoe.
The Waterpro was a champ, because of the
micro mesh designed into the shoe.
This assisted with the shoe not being heavy
when needing to get up and out of the water
at crossing, and they quickly dried once out
of the water for breaks or at the end of the
trip. By far, this shoe is at the top
of the list of a must have shoe, whether you
are canyoneering, rafting and most
importantly off-roading.

Here is the
information Merrell provides as well as the specs for the
WaterPro Ultra-Sport Shoes.
The ultimate terrain
vacuum, this Waterpro runs wild and runs fast, wet or dry.
Contoured for canyoneering, the mesh upper drains
automatically via integrated drainage ports, and is
buttressed by synthetic leather strapping, and cinches
down with a dynamic lacing system for custom adjustment.
Vibram® RinseMaster™ Sole provides slightly higher
perimeter lugs for additional traction and protection on
uneven surfaces.
