FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Wilderness 1TRL is not explicitly waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture due to the leather and suede construction, but are not designed for submersion or heavy rain.

The Wilderness 1TRL is a direct adaptation of Merrell's original boot, featuring specific archival details. Other Wilderness models might have variations in materials, construction, or outsole.
How often should I clean the suede?
Regular brushing after use helps maintain the suede. Deep cleaning with a suede cleaner is recommended when visible dirt or stains accumulate.

The Vibram® Ecostep Recycle outsole is made from 30% recycled rubber, providing durable traction with a reduced environmental impact.

Troubleshooting
Suede material looks matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, a suede cleaner may be necessary, followed by brushing.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
While the Vibram® outsole offers good traction, extreme wet conditions may reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris for optimal performance.
Discomfort after initial wear.
Allow a break-in period of a few wears on shorter walks to let the shoes mold to your feet. Ensure the lacing is appropriate for your foot shape.
