Popular outdoor footwear brand Merrell typically discounts its storefront once per season — and usually only up to 40% — but we haven’t seen a sale this good from them in a while. Right now, you can grab a pair of its popular trail-running sneakers, the women’s Antora 3 or men’s Nova 3, for 50% off. That’s half off of a brand-new lightweight pair of runners built to handle gravel, rugged terrain and loose dirt alike.
It’s not just the base model of the Antora 3 or Nova 3 either; the sale includes the Gore-Tex and mid-ankle boot versions of the popular trekking shoe. This is good news for anyone who walks on trails, loves light hiking or just needs a new daily sneaker to relieve foot fatigue. An anonymous reviewer actually says the Antora 3 “saved me” from the pains of hiking: “My heel pain is almost completely gone, and I don’t have any pains in my back anymore!”
This flash sale is only valid today, September 15, and ends tonight at midnight, so check out everything the retailer has to offer down below.

Nova 3 trail sneaker (50% off list price)
The men's-only Nova 3 trail runners are sneakers for rugged roads and gravel, built tough to survive the jagged roots and rocks you may encounter in the wild on the run. They're equipped with a cushy Vibram sole for reliable traction on slippery surfaces, and a rock plate to stop sharp objects from poking your feet. The sneakers have a breathable mesh liner for airing those sweaty tootsies, cushioned forefoot and heel pads to prevent hot spots and an excellent bounce to put a rebound in your step. They're also made with recycled materials.
Get them in men's sizes 7-15. Also available on sale for 50% off:
