It seems that there is no unanimity about which is the correct way to write its name. Today and always, EscapeShoes will clarify your doubts!

Yes, as we well indicated in the title, you write it with two rr and two ll: Merrell.

Now that you know how to write it well, it seems interesting to us that you learn some curiosities about the origin and history of this brand.

Did you know that, although it was founded in 1981 by three partners, only Randy Merrell remained in the company? Yes, Clark Matis as well as John Schweitzer abandoned it shortly after starting it. 

It is curious that the Merrell brand was born in the mountains of Utah (USA), where Randy Merrell started to develop cowboy boots. Already since the beginning, they stood out for their comfort and for the perfect adjustment that they provided, features that, without a doubt, were kept to this day.

From this base, it occurred to him to manufacture hiking footwear. But one thing is very clear, and that is that in all its footwear, it is integrated the idea of adventure and freedom. Do you like to go out and enjoy nature? Then, you must already know that Merrell is your brand. 

In 1983, it is manufactured the first design for the women, since they consider that the shape of the feet has a significantly different line.

From the year 1989 and onwards, you can say that Merrell has become a brand that is represented globally, reaching every corner of the world.

Since its beginning, Merrell has become a brand with an ample range of products that are now intended for different outdoors activities, like trekking or some water sports. Little by little, it has perfected in order to create more comfortable footwear. This was how they developed several technologies that were hard to find in other footwear. In 1995, they started to use Vibram outsoles, which provide great stability and traction, and in 2003, the Qform technology, which provides cushioning for the specific female walk. That’s interesting, right?    

Ergonomic insoles and outsoles that adapt to the soles of your feet, great elasticity, impermeability that protects you from water and against the wind, components that eliminate bad odours and absorb perspiration… and all of it with extreme durability and wear-resistance. What more can you ask for?

Either you are a man or a woman, choose Merrell. And… remember how you are supposed to write it 😉
