Upper
There’s a toe bumper inside of the upper unit of the shoe that protects runners’ feet while walking and running on difficult or rough surfaces. The inner lining keeps feet dry and makes for a lightweight, breathable sneaker. While the sneaker is close to the ground, it also brings the individual’s feet to a comfort zone. This shoe can keep your feet ventilated and protected simultaneously.
Midsole
The cushioning in the midsole allows the thin platform of the shoe to be close to the ground, giving a barefoot, walking on air feel. Users tout this as one of the most attractive features of this shoe, as they do not experience the typical foot pain often associated with running on rugged terrain.
Outsole
The outer sole is durable and long lasting. The shoe is made with Vibram rubber, so it’s perfect either wet or dry terrain. The lugs allow the shoe to grip rocks and other debris, preventing falls and keeping the runner stable, even while tackling obstacles on the trail.

Comfort
The Southeastern Merrell All Out Terra Turf is very supportive in the heel area, preventing the feet from slipping in the shoe, which can cause discomfort and pain.

Style
