The Merrell Nova 4 is a men's trail running shoe built for mixed terrain, with a breathable mesh upper and lining, a FloatPro foam midsole and an EVA footbed. Quantum Grip rubber on the outsole and FLEXconnect flex grooves in the midsole aim to balance traction with ground feel. It sits in the middle of Merrell's trail range: lighter and more flexible than the stiff, rock-plated Agility Peak, less cushioned than max-stack trail shoes. Owners rate it highly overall, praising comfort out of the box and grip on packed dirt and rock, while some find the ride firm and the fit narrow for wide feet.
