Is the Merrell Maipo 3 Aerosport waterproof?

No. It has no Gore-Tex or other waterproof membrane, so it suits dry trails and fair weather. Expect wet feet in rain or on wet grass.

How does it compare with a hiking boot?

It is lighter and more breathable but gives less ankle support and protection. Choose a boot for rough, loaded or cold-weather hikes.

What is the forefoot cushioning for?

It softens impact under the ball of the foot, which helps on long descents and paved stretches. The EVA midsole adds general shock absorption.

Does it fit wide feet?

It comes in normal width only. Women with wide feet often need to size up or look at Merrell's wide-fit models.

What is the upper made of?

A mix of mesh, synthetic and leather, with a recycled fabric and mesh lining. The mix balances airflow with some structure.

About the Women's Merrell Maipo 3 Aerosport

The Merrell Maipo 3 Aerosport is a light women's hiking shoe built for fast day hikes and warm-weather trails. It pairs a breathable mesh and synthetic upper with an EVA midsole and forefoot cushioning, so it feels closer to a trail runner than a stiff boot. It is not waterproof, so it suits dry trails and summer walks better than wet, muddy routes. Against cushioned hiking boots it trades support and weather protection for weight and airflow.

Best forDay hikers on dry, well-graded trailsWarm-weather walkers who want breathable shoesTravelers packing light for light trail useWomen who prefer a flexible, low-cut fit
