FAQs
Are the Merrell Nova 4 suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average foot widths. If you have wider feet, it is recommended to try them on in person or check reviews for specific feedback on fit for wider feet.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Nova 4 features a removable 50% recycled EVA foam footbed, making it compatible with most standard aftermarket orthotics.
How do I clean the recycled materials?
Clean recycled materials using the same method as the standard shoe components: a soft brush or damp cloth for the upper and mild soap and water for the removable footbed. Always air dry.
What is the intended use for these shoes?
These shoes are designed for versatile use, including day hiking, light trail running, and casual wear. They offer a balance of comfort and trail performance.
How durable is the Quantum Grip outsole?
The Merrell Quantum Grip outsole is engineered for durability and confidence on extreme trails, providing reliable traction over extended use.
What does 'FLEXconnect' mean?
FLEXconnect refers to the dual-directional flex-grooves in the midsole, designed to enhance ground connection and allow the shoe to move more naturally with your foot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If discomfort persists, try loosening the laces, or consider using the removable footbed with a thinner sock, or replacing it with a custom orthotic if appropriate.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
The Quantum Grip outsole is designed for durable traction, but performance on extremely slick surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider alternative footwear designed for maximum wet traction.
Laces keep coming undone.
Ensure laces are tied securely with a strong knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones that offer better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these shoes are suitable for trail hiking, light trail running, and casual use. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and debris from the engineered mesh and TPU upper. Avoid harsh chemicals.
