Merrell exists to share the simple power of being outside.
Merrell was established in 1981 when two executives for the Rossignol ski company, decided to launch a new maker of hiking boots. The pair joined forces with Randal Ivan Merrell (R.I. Merrell), a maker of highly sought after custom boots which retailed for $500 a pair. They set to work designing a more affordable high-performance boot, the Moab, which was developed in 1982. They're boots continue to welcome people to the outdoors and prepare them for wherever their adventures may lead.
