We are very excited to be opening our 5th Merrell concept store in Burwood NSW!

Do you remember the opening chase scene from James Bond Casino Royale, where Bond chases one of the bad guys through a high-rise building site, climbing over scaffolding, through elevator shafts and up walls? Well this is Parkour; a sport of free-running using obstacles to move quickly from one place to another.  The only real piece of equipment you need to practice Parkour are some good shoes and we are proud to be informed that the Merrell Barefoot shoes are some of the best. Shoes like the Merrell Barefoot Trail Glove offer the freedom, durability and traction needed to keep you on your feet when you are running along the trails or up walls!

There is nothing quite like walking barefoot in the grass on a beautiful spring day, except maybe wearing a pair of Merrell barefoot sandals.  The barefoot range of Merrell sandals gives you that same barefoot feeling with the added protection and traction of a thin Vibram ® sole.  One of our favorites for the season is the bright and beautiful Spirit Wrap
Or if you love to get your feet wet, we have some barefoot styles which are made to wade.  With quick-drying, water-friendly materials, you can connect with watery surfaces and still feel in control.
