Starting with a pig suede leather upper with dual stretch gores, these slip-ons feature a more premium build and elevated look. To keep them as comfortable, Merrell used its Air Cushion in the heels for maximum shock absorption and added stability, and an EVA footbed for a plush feel underfoot. But, what really sets this pair apart from the competition is its unique, sticky, semi-aggressively treaded rubber soles that provide reliable grip on both cold pavements (with or without snow) and light debris like salt and sand. From there, they’re topped off with mesh lining and an odor-control finish to minimize stink.
The other two slip-ons these Jungle Mocs closely resemble are the Moab Adventure 3 slip-ons (more rugged and structured for hiking and travel—but less house to yard convenience) and the Coldpack 3 Thermo Mocs (great for heavier snow and true cold conditions—a bit of an overkill for quick trips outdoors or wearing as slippers). These Jungle Mocs are the most versatile and the most casual of the three.
Though this pair is not insulated, the suede-based build traps just enough warmth for short wintry stints without overheating if you decide to keep them on indoors—basically like a heartier pair of indoor/outdoor slippers. It's this ideal balance as to why this style has remained a fan-favorite among Merrell lovers.
What Wearers Are Saying
These moc slip-ons have an impressive 2,800 five-star ratings, with numerous buyers explaining that these actually perform well in wintry conditions. One buyer even said they’re a “great slip-on moc with nice traction on icy and snowy pavement.”
Another wearer, 8,000 feet up in their Colorado town, admitted they’re easy to slip on and off as well as have good traction and comfort, while stating it’s “my third pair as I've used them daily in the winters.”A third even hyperbolized, they’re “the comfort of Heaven.”
While you can definitely find cheaper indoor/outdoor slippers on the market, what you’re not getting is Merrell’s quality, like you will with these Jungle Mocs. This pair is built to be durable enough for 4-season use, and at the brand’s current sale price, it's a smart investment, too. Grab your favorite color in the correct size today, while you still can.
