History of History of Merrell Gridway Moc
When it comes to shoemaking, Randy Merrell ultimately knows best. Equipped with the knowledge of creating high-quality cowboy cleats, he got inspired and tried making hiking cleats. Soon after, he teamed up with Clark Matis and John Schweizer, both boasting a level of expertise in sports and business, to create a company.
Launched in 1981, Merrell produces not only high-quality cleats but footwear that was also offered at cost-effective rates. It became almost easy for the brand to reach success that by the year 1986, only five years after Merrell’s inception, they have already sold 25000 pairs of shoes.
Since then, it expanded its catalog to include lifestyle sneakers, as well as work and training shoes. The History of Merrell Gridway Moc, which is a great casual piece, is among the brand’s eco-friendly, sustainable footwear that is made of 100% recycled yarn knit upper.
