"Women's Merrell® Antora 4: The Women's Merrell Antora 4 is a neutral trail running shoe built for runners who want reliable cushioning and confident traction on rugged terrain. With a lower stack height for a closer ground feel, it strikes a balance between cushioned comfort and trail awareness that works well across a range of distances and conditions. If you spend time on technical singletrack or mixed backcountry routes and want a shoe that can keep up, the Antora 4 is worth a close look.The FloatPro™ Foam midsole keeps the ride lightweight without sacrificing comfort over longer efforts, and the 8mm heel-to-toe drop supports a balanced, natural stride. The breathable mesh and TPU upper hold the foot securely while allowing airflow to move through on warmer days. A bellows tongue blocks out trail debris so you can stay focused on the run rather than stopping to shake out your shoe. Underfoot, the Merrell Quantum Grip™ rubber outsole provides steady, dependable traction across varied trail surfaces. The shoe weighs in at 8.5 ounces, keeping things light without feeling stripped down. Reflective details add a layer of visibility for low-light conditions.Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe""I really like how grounded this shoe feels on the trail - it's cushioned enough for longer runs but you still get that connection to the ground that makes technical terrain easier to navigate. The debris-blocking tongue is one of those things you don't think about until you've run without it, and then you really notice the difference."" - Sawyer, Road Runner Sports Fit Expert, Wilmette ILWho It's Best ForIf you're a neutral runner with medium to high arches looking for a cushioned trail running shoe that handles technical terrain without feeling bulky or disconnected, the Antora 4 is a strong fit.
