Merrell Mypo Explorer Aerosport Hiking Boots, $58 (was $130)
Why do we like this deal?
Merrell recently ended a multi-week summer sale with discounts of up to 60% off top-rated hiking boots (including select Moab 3s), hiking boots, and other outdoor gear. The event ended recently, but it looks like some products remain on sale. One of them is a recent addition to Merrell’s lineup: a breathable and lightweight hiker that’s still half the price in as many colors.
The Merrell Mypo Explorer Aerosport is still on sale for just $58, 55% off its usual price of $130—just make sure you use promo code extra40 At checkout to see full discount. You can choose from three colors at that price, and there are still plenty of sizes in stock. This model differs from the brand’s best hiking boots in that it follows more of a hybrid hiker-trail runner design to offer a sneaker-like fit, though with traction similar to Moab shoes.

Merrell designed the Mypo Explorer Aerosport as a summer shoe that’s perfect for every job.
The first key feature is the upper, which is made of synthetic mesh that promotes air flow and helps your feet breathe and stay cool in hot weather. It’s quite protective thanks to its bellows tongue, a common Merrell feature that keeps out dirt and debris, and overlays on the toe box and heel for added durability. Although it lacks the Gore-Tex waterproof membrane found in shoes like the Agility Peak 6 GTX, this is actually a benefit for summer weather: waterproof membranes significantly reduce breathability, so you really only need them in very wet or cold conditions.
The EVA midsole and EVA footbed provide a comfortable ride to your feet, and on the bottom, the sticky rubber outsole produces a strong grip on all types of surfaces. The shoe also has a wide toe box, which gives your toes room to spread and enhances their natural stability, allowing you to move confidently off-road.

what shoppers are saying
According to reviewers, the Mypo Explorer Aerosport is “super comfortable” with “fantastic traction and cushioning.” Shoppers used them for all kinds of activities, including golfing, work, hiking, and walking, and they performed well. And Merrell’s build quality is second to none: one shopper called this model “one of the most durable sneakers on the market.”
Merrell deals are selling out fast after the summer sale. Since the Mypo Explorer AeroSport is an affordable hiking shoe that’s great for summer, I expect it to be especially popular. The fourth colorway is already sold out—get your pair today before they’re all gone.
