A breathable engineered-mesh upper and burrito-style tongue wrap the foot with a light, secure fit.

Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
The exact Merrell U.S. product page lists 190g as men's half-pair weight. The exact Merrell UK product page independently corroborates 190g.
Plate note
The exact Merrell Japan and U.S. pages provide sufficiently complete construction details, including the mesh upper, integrated EVA foam insole, Barefoot 2 platform, and Vibram TC5+ outsole, without identifying a carbon structure. It remains classified as non-carbon under the complete-official-spec policy; this does not assert that every non-carbon reinforcing element is absent.
