Merrell Nova 4 Review
Looking for an affordable, comfortable, and seriously versatile road-to-trail running shoe? The Merrell Nova 4 might be exactly what you need.
In this review, I break down why this $130 shoe is one of the best options out there right now if you want a single pair that can handle road miles, light trails, daily walks, travel, and everything in between.
You’ll learn all the key specs—including weight, drop, outsole grip, and fit—and how the Nova 4 performs across terrain types like gravel, forest trails, tarmac, and even during hot Florida runs. I’ll also talk through its comfort, breathability, traction, and how it compares to more expensive alternatives.
