Merrell - Wrapt Mid Waterproof - Brown - 9.5

The Merrell Wrapt series is designed with a wide toe box, generally fitting true to standard UK sizes.

While they are waterproof, they do not feature dedicated thermal insulation, so ensure you pair them with appropriate moisture-wicking wool socks.

Yes, the wide toe box design makes them an excellent choice for individuals who typically struggle with standard, narrow-fit hiking boots.

Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.

These boots lack the heavy stack height and stiff heel support found in traditional boots, focusing instead on natural foot function.

This is common when switching to minimalist footwear; ensure you have allowed enough time for your foot muscles to adapt gradually.

Check if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off and apply a fresh waterproof treatment suitable for leather.

Ensure the insole is seated flat against the interior base; if worn, replace with a thin performance insole that doesn't compromise the barefoot feel.
