Winter hikes in the Mammut Mercury and Mammut Nova IV mid GOR-TEX boot

 

 

Just when you think that a best selling boot couldn’t get any better, Mammut have exceeded expectations and improved their Mercury and Nova mid GOR-TEX boots for the 2024 season.

Not only are the Mammut Mercury boot for men and the Mammut Nova boot for women best sellers for the brand, they also fly out of BCH Camping stores with wild abandon every year! Not literally of course, but you get the point!

Let’s take a deep dive to discover why Mammut have always got it so right with the Mercury and Nova boot, and what’s been improved for this season.

What is so great about the Mammut Mercury IV and Mammut Nova IV boot?

The Mammut Mercury and Mammut Nova are high performance, classic mid walking boots. The design technology and ankle support of the mid boot style make them ideal for hikes, woodland walks, coastal paths and hills.

The flexibility of the sole provides the comfort of a shoe, so they are also suitable for dog walking, local rambles and daily activities.

Basically, they’re good all-rounders from which you will get plenty of service throughout the year.

Technical features of the Mammut Mercury IV and Mammut Nova IV boot

  • GORE-TEX membrane
  • Waterproof

A bit of science for you! The GORE-TEX membrane has nine billion pores every square inch. Each pore is 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, so rain and snow can’t get in, making the boot waterproof.

  • Breathable

The GORE-TEX membrane allows your sweat to escape, making the boot breathable and therefore comfortable, even when you’re working really hard.

  • Windproof

The GORE-TEX membrane stops the wind from getting through the boot and making your feet cold.

  • Damping 3D Memo Foam

The Damping 3D Memo Foam in the lining and insole provides additional comfort, support and blister prevention around the instep, shin and ankle by adapting to your foot shape.

  • High quality Terracare nubuck leather

The Terracare nubuck leather provides a classic look in a range of colours, along with structural stability and durability. Terracare leather is sustainably produced in Germany and is bluesign®-registered, which means it is produced using processes that demonstrate care for the environment.

  • EVA midsole

The Mercury and Nova VI boots have a dense proportion of EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate) foam in the midsole to provide the amount of support needed in key areas.

  • Padded foam cuff

The padded foam cuff provides extra comfort around the ankle, particularly on inclines and declines.

What’s new for 2024?

The new and improved IV versions of the Mammut Mercury and Mammut Nova mid GOR-TEX boots have a flexible Vibram sole with multidirectional tread. The Vibram sole allows your feet to move comfortably and naturally while providing exceptional grip on wet and muddy surfaces and changeable terrain.

Vibram soles are known to excel in rugged outdoor environments due to their enhanced grip on uneven surfaces and abrasion resistance.
