Merrell Altalight Low Junior Walking Shoes

The lightest pack hiker Merrell has ever built, the Altalight features a tear-resistant athletic upper with lightweight Stratafuse protection. And with our best mountain-grade sole, you'll stay sure-footed on miles and miles of trail.


Ripstop Upper

Designed to keep your feet comfortable, dry and ventilated the Merrell Altalight Low Junior Walking Shoes have been constructed using a nylon ripstop mesh upper. The mesh acts as a lightweight second skin to ensure you are able to go the distance in complete comfort. Perforations in the fabric encourage cool air to circulate, removing uncomfortable heat build-up to create a healthy environment for your foot to thrive in. The Altalight features a Stratafuse exoskeleton which works to provide a glove-like fit and extremely lightweight support. The exoskeleton supports the foot to ensure a close and comfortable fit. A bellows tongue exists to reduce dirt ingress and pull loop allows for an easy on/off. Lastly, a traditional lace closure locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can run distraction-free.

EVA Midsole

The midsole has been constructed using different technologies to ensure long-lasting comfort and increased cushioning. EVA within the midsole offers supreme cushioning and support to key areas like the arch and heel, holding the foot securely in place for a smoother transition and wear. By supporting these key areas of the foot, the midsole material can also help to offer enough support to help prevent discomfort and possible injury. A removable insole which provides flexible support for all-day wear. Contoured to your foot, the insole provides flexible intuitive support for connected and protected movements. Designed to gently support the foot in key areas of the foot to encourage muscles to stay in a relaxed athletic position, this helps to reduce fatigue. Completing the midsole is lightweight flexplate technology which provides torsional rigidity.

Durabe Rubber

Developed using a grippy rubber outsole, the Altalight provides extreme grip and traction for all surface wear. Developed for extremely slippery terrain, the extremely durable rubber can form a solid bond with the ground to anchor you in place. Despite facing abuse from rough ground, the rubber stands up against this, deflecting the blows and retaining a strong shape and structure. Ensuring multi-directional grip the outsole ensures traction on varied terrain ensuring confident footing on varied terrain. The durable rubber provides a strong grip on the most challenging terrain; it works to protect itself from damage, and protect users from losing control and slipping. Completing the outsole are 5mm lugs which dig deep into the ground when braking or changing direction. The deep lugs are able to anchor the foot into the wet and muddy ground, securing you into place whilst also forming a solid base to push off from.

Bruce Bannister - the man who started it all

As a striker, Bruce appeared in over 500 league games, and scored over 200 goals. He was part of the famous "Smash and Grab" partnership with Alan Warboys at Bristol Rovers in the early 1970s before finishing his professional career in France in 1981.

As an executive member of the Professional Footballers Association for 10 years, Bruce looked after the interests of players and fans, and it was during this time he recognised a need for a retail store dedicated to the specialised needs of sports men and women.

Sportsshoes Unlimited - a passion for sport

Armed with his passion for sport and the knowledge and experience to understand the needs of athletes of all standards and levels, Bruce set up Sportsshoes Unlimited, the largest sportsshoe retail outlet in the world. His aim was to provide the most comprehensive range of technical sports footwear and clothing, covering the widest possible range of sports and every major sporting brand.

Crucially, in contrast to other sports retailers, Sportsshoes provided a friendly and knowledgeable environment whereby customers could receive expert advice from an experienced team of staff before buying.

In 1985, Sportsshoes launched its hugely successful mail order service and later became one of the first retailers to launch an e-commerce website and began trading online.

Sportsshoes - the future

Today we are SportsShoes and fulfil thousands of orders each week, as well as continuing to provide an excellent level of service. With over 25 years of experience behind us, our objective remains the same, and we're committed to providing the same superb service, combined with the widest and most comprehensive product range at the best possible value.
