Types & Styles
The Slip Resistant Jungle Moc Work Shoe:
When it comes to work shoes the Jungle Moc Work Shoe has proven to be one of the best on the market. This shoe was created with the same out-of-box comfort as the original Jungle Moc, designed with all day protection and comfort in mind. The shoe is made out of waterproof full grain leather, as well as Merrell M Select pro grip outsoles making this shoe protected, comfortable, and slip resistant all day long. The Jungle Moc Work Shoe has Merrell Air Cushion technology strategically located from heel to toe for ultimate lightweight cushion and shock absorption. Molded nylon arch shanks are placed for support and flexibility in the midfoot. As mentioned before, these shoes are oil and slip resistant due to the rubber outsoles. The Merrell M Select grip rubber tunes each outsole with durable traction that grips where and when you need it.
The Carbon Fiber Work Boots:
The Carbon Fiber Work Boots are some of Merrell Work’s most sought after work shoes available. This boot comes with many of Merrell’s advanced technology to guarantee comfort that lasts all day long. One of the technologies utilized within the boots design is a waterproof membrane that seals out water, but will allow moisture to escape. The tough frame LT cage offers protection, durability, and stability within the textiles used for the top of the boot. In conjunction with the tough frame, the bellows tongue aids in keeping out debris. Some other technologies include traditional lace-up closures, protective toe caps, breathable mesh lining, and contoured insoles that cradle the foot all day. Merrell air cushion technology is implemented in this shoe, providing added stability under the heel, as well as shock absorption. The rubberized EVA midsole also increases shock absorption throughout the entire insole. Merrell utilizes sticky rubber outsoles with durable traction to grip when and where you need it. These outsoles are also oil and slip resistant and provide heat resistance for brief periods of contact that meet or exceed 500 degrees Fahrenheit. To finish these shoes off, Merrell added on a carbon fiber safety toe for protecting, no matter the job or work environment.
Recent Customer Review
The Slip Resistant Jungle Moc Work Shoe:
“I freaking love these shoes, they are the most comfortable work shoes I have ever had. But, I have only had them a couple of months so the durability is yet to be determined. But, so far so good. I completely faith in them because all of my other shoes from Merrell have been outstanding, so much so I have purchased 5 different pairs, not including 2 of the exact same work shoe for this review, this year alone”
The Carbon Fiber Work Boots:
“I hate to admit it but I did not read the description of these boots and was disappointed when I received safety toed boots. I am disappointed no more! I wore safety toe boots for twenty years, these are not them. The Moab’s are very comfortable. The safety toe has even proven to be an additional benefit I wasn’t expecting. They do feel heavier when I hold them but I do not feel the extra weight when I wear them. No hurting feet, no rushing to change my shoes when I get home at the end of the day. I am on my feet all day and these are great. I haven’t had the opportunity to test them in a wet environment yet. True to size and comfortable. I have even gotten compliments on these boots. Highly recommended.”
