FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Antora 4 is designed with a breathable mesh upper for maximum airflow, meaning it is not waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While wearable on roads, the Quantum Grip outsole is optimized for trails and will wear down much faster on concrete and asphalt.
How do I clean my Antora 4 trainers?
Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
What is the primary benefit of FloatPro Foam?
FloatPro Foam provides a lightweight, soft cushioning system that offers great energy return without adding unnecessary weight.
What makes the Antora 4 different from standard running shoes?
The Antora 4 features specialized trail-specific geometry, including the Quantum Grip outsole and FLEXconnect grooves, which are not present in standard road trainers.
Troubleshooting
Feeling debris inside the shoe during runs
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot and consider using a trail gaiter for loose gravel environments.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole with warm water and a brush to remove packed mud or slick residue that covers the rubber lugs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Antora 4 trainers, it is essential to follow basic maintenance practices. After muddy runs, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can degrade the foam and adhesive. Use a soft brush to remove dried debris from the outsole lugs to maintain traction performance. For cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Check the fit with your preferred trail running socks to ensure adequate room for foot swelling during long-distance runs.
