FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The product description does not specify a wide fit. It is recommended to try them on or check customer reviews regarding fit for different foot shapes.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX® membrane?

The GORE-TEX® membrane is integrated into the shoe lining. Clean the exterior of the shoe as recommended, and ensure no debris is trapped in the shoe's opening, which could affect the membrane's function.

What is the weight of these shoes?

The weight of these shoes is 880 g.

Can I wear these shoes in the summer?

Yes, the GORE-TEX® membrane offers breathability, making them suitable for year-round wear, including warmer months, though they provide robust protection which might feel warmer than lighter summer shoes.

What is the main difference between the Accentor Sport 3 and the Accentor Sport 3 GORE-TEX®?

The primary difference is the inclusion of GORE-TEX® waterproofing in the Accentor Sport 3 GORE-TEX® model, providing enhanced protection against wet conditions.

Are these shoes good for backpacking?

Yes, their durable build, comfort features, and reliable traction make them a good choice for general backpacking trips.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet inside the shoes

Ensure the GORE-TEX® membrane is intact. Check for any damage to the shoe that might allow water ingress. Make sure laces are tied securely to prevent water from entering the top.

Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces

Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be hindering grip. For very slick surfaces, approach with caution as no sole provides universal grip.

Shoes feel uncomfortable after extended wear

Ensure the size is correct and that you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before attempting long hikes.

Outer material appears worn or damaged

Inspect for tears or significant abrasion. Minor scuffs can be addressed with appropriate shoe care products. For significant damage, consider professional repair or replacement.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
