Merrell's NOVA 4 is clearly a men's shoe designed for mountain running.

Specially designed for moderate trail running, this model features shock-absorbing foam cushioning for comfort on longer runs over debris and obstacles. A hard-wearing textile upper and breathable mesh lining keep feet at the right temperature, while an EVA foam midsole provides stability and comfort. This shoe also features the Super Rebound compound, which absorbs shocks over time to reduce torque and ensure a smooth transition to the inside of the foot. On the outside, the ultra-resistant Vibram TC5 outsole provides extra stability and support for maximum confidence.

This model will appeal to vegans as it uses no animal products in its manufacture.
