Merrell 1TRL

Merrell began in 1981 with a simple mission: to make high-quality, accessible hiking boots for people who love the outdoors. Founded by Randy Merrell, an expert bootmaker whose handmade hiking boots earned him a loyal following, the brand set out to create footwear that offered the fit, durability, and performance outdoor enthusiasts needed. With a focus on craftsmanship and innovation, Merrell soon grew to become a trusted name in outdoor footwear, balancing rugged functionality with comfort.

The Merrell 1TRL line is a testament to this legacy, evolving from the brand’s commitment to pushing boundaries in outdoor design. Inspired by decades of trail-tested experience, Merrell 1TRL combines the robust durability of classic Merrell boots with sleek, versatile styling tailored for urban landscapes and backcountry alike. This line reflects Merrell’s ongoing journey—from Randy Merrell’s workshop to global trails—merging classic outdoor performance with modern aesthetics to empower the next generation of explorers.
