The history of the Merrell store — how it was
The first trekking boots were so successful that in 1981, Randy, joining forces with former ski resort executives John Schweizer and Clark Matis, decided to create the Merrell brand and produce footwear.
John Schweizer was responsible for supplies of Italian materials and business contacts. Clark Matis managed production (each pair was sewn by hand and the process took about six months) and handled marketing. And Randy Merrell was responsible for design and the creation of new models.
In 1982, to expand production, the partners were forced to take out a bank loan. And soon the first official Merrell store appeared. From 1983, the brand's popularity began to grow rapidly. The assortment was expanded with women's footwear lines and the first boots with Gore-Tex technology.
Merrell after Randy
Merrell was not satisfied with the role of a manager, and in 1986, after creating several more legendary boots, he sold his share of the stock and left for Utah. There he returned to what he loved most — creating custom models.
The brand was acquired by the Finns from Karhu and they slightly changed the production, which noticeably lowered prices. Merrell's worldwide fame only grew as a result — the company's popularity spread beyond the USA.
In 2005, the brand began producing bags and backpacks Merrell, and two years later a clothing line also appeared.
Today, Merrell offers footwear and clothing, as well as ergonomic and multifunctional accessories for men, women, and children. In Merrell, you can travel, go hiking, including mountain hiking, as well as enjoy winter and water tourism. In 2009, high-quality hiking socks were added to the clothing line.
