Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hiking shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: The Merrell Accentor Sport 3 GORE-TEX® are designed as hiking footwear. They are compatible with standard hiking socks and suitable for use with trekking poles. They are not specifically designed for highly technical climbing or extreme winter conditions.
Care: To maintain the GORE-TEX® waterproofing and the overall condition of the shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. If the shoes are heavily soiled, wash them with cool water and a mild soap. Use a soft brush to clean the upper and sole. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain their shape.
- Waterproofing Treatment: Periodically, you may want to apply a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for GORE-TEX® footwear to maintain the water-repellent properties of the outer material.
