The Nova 4 Traveller Lace is a dressed-up version of one of Merrell's best-selling trail shoes, the Nova 4. The shoe is very lightweight, thanks in large part to the FloatPro Foam insole and midsole (which also provide ample cushion). The premium polished leather uppers mean they can transition from casual to dress-casual much more easily than the more athletic Nova 4. A soft pigskin lining combined with the lace-up construction provides a personalized feel around your foot. It still has Merrell's Quantum Grip rubber outsole which has plenty of traction should you decide to go off-road.

You get most of the features of a lightweight, cushioned trail-runner in a shoe that doesn't look like one; what's not to like?
