Merrell and Belstaff have teamed up once again to create a luxurious take on the Moab shoe. 

Following on from the Ontario Speed trainer launched last year, the new Moab Luxe Hiker takes Merrell’s standard Moab shoe and adds some high-end touches.

Features include the use of suede and full-grain leather, which help to give the shoe a more high-end finish without losing any of its functionality. 

As with the standard Moab, these special-edition shoes get a somewhat reinforced toe box, with an extra layer of leather applied to help boost protection. A special bellows tongue design ensures that grit or debris don’t make their way into the shoes. You’ll find the Merrell logo applied on the tongue while the brand’s name is flashed down the side of the sole. Belstaff’s icon, meanwhile, is applied at the heel of the Moab and you’ll find it applied to the footbed, too. 

With Vibram TC5+ outsoles the Moab Luxe Hiker should still offer top-notch levels of traction and support no matter where you’re heading. Unisex in design, they’re offered in either Black or Stucco colourways with both priced at £155. 

Launching today (May 22), the Moab Luxe Hiker will be available from both Belstaff and Merrell websites, as well as ‘select retail locations including Belstaff stores and END’.
