What Are Bear Grylls Shoes?
Bear Grylls shoes are often times the Merrell Chameleon Hex. He can be seen wearing them on his show Man vs Wild, or Born Survivor as it is known in the UK. HIs accomplishments are impressive. He has been familiar with the outdoors since an early age. He grew up sailing and climbing and joined the boy scouts at 8 years old.
At age 19, he became a member of the elite British SAS, which is their premier Special Forces unit. He was trained in unarmed combat, desert and winter warfare, combat survival, medicine, parachuting, signals, evasive driving, climbing and explosives. He displays many of these impressive skills on his show.
I see a lot of questions about his shoes on line that are not addressed. Here are some of the answers.
Why does he use the Merrell Chameleon Hex shoes?
Bear Grylls shoes are so useful to him because of his hiking style. He often finds himself in slick, muddy terrain that is treacherous. He also covers a lot of distance quickly. The Merrell Chameleon Hex has a deep pattern on the sole that works great for avoiding falls. They also fit like a moccasin so that they will not be pulled off in deep mud.
Where can you buy Bear Grylls shoes?
The Merrell Chameleon Hex can be found at most outdoor type of stores like REI and on line. What I usually do is cheat. I’ll go try them on in the store to see if they fit, then buy them on line. It may not be the most honest thing in the world, but times are tough!
Where did I learn about Bear Grylls shoes?
I learned what Bear Grylls shoes are from doing a little research on line. I thought that since he is such an experienced survivalist and soldier, he would use the toughest and most reliable shoes around.
Who should get a pair of Merrell Chameleon Hex shoes?
If you are serious about hiking, then these will work for you. They are rugged, light, and great for traction. They are nearly waterproof and will dry out quickly if they happen to get submerged. The price is pretty low compared to other hiking shoes. But be warned, they are a lighter shoe that is not meant to be worn while carrying more than 25 pounds.
Well, that is my rant about Bear Grylls shoes. I hope you got the information you were looking for. Now get off the computer and start enjoying nature!
