FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Nova 4 Trail Trainers feature a breathable mesh and TPU upper which is not waterproof. They are designed for breathability, making them suitable for dry to moderately wet conditions.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the EVA foam footbed is removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics or other preferred insoles.
What is the best terrain for the Nova 4?
These trainers are best suited for packed dirt trails, gravel paths, and moderate technical terrain. The Quantum Grip outsole provides excellent traction on a variety of surfaces.
How do I clean the recycled materials?
Clean the shoes using a damp cloth and mild soap. The recycled components can be cleaned similarly to standard materials. Always air dry.
What is the difference between these and hiking boots?
These are trail running trainers, offering more flexibility and less ankle support than traditional hiking boots. They are lighter and designed for forward motion over varied terrain.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The shoes include a removable EVA foam footbed which provides a standard level of cushioning and support. For specific arch support needs, consider using aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or blisters
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and fit. Adjust lacing for a snug but not overly tight feel. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter distances.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove any embedded debris that could affect grip. The Quantum Grip outsole performs best on clean surfaces.
Mesh upper feels too loose
Tighten the laces. If the shoe is fundamentally too large, consider a smaller size or an alternative model with a more secure fit.
