FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Antora 4 Trainers are designed primarily for trail walking and light hiking. While they offer cushioning and flexibility, they may not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for intense or long-distance road running.
What makes the fit 'female-specific'?
The shoes are built on a last (the mold used to shape the shoe) that is specifically designed to accommodate the typical contours and proportions of a woman's foot, which often differs from men's or unisex lasts in width, heel shape, and arch volume.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
The Quantum Grip outsole provides good traction, but the shoes are not waterproof. The breathable mesh will allow water to enter if submerged or exposed to heavy rain. They are suitable for damp trails but not for deep water crossings.
What is FLOATPRO FOAM?
FLOATPRO FOAM is Merrell's proprietary midsole foam designed to be lightweight and provide enhanced, long-lasting cushioning and energy return for comfort during activity.
Are the recycled materials used in the shoe durable?
Yes, the recycled laces and mesh components are designed to be durable and perform to Merrell's standards, while also contributing to a more sustainable product.
What is the best way to dry these shoes if they get wet?
Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape while drying.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the specific women's last may not be the ideal fit for your foot shape.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Quantum Grip outsole is clean of mud or debris. While designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a challenge. For very wet conditions, consider drying the outsole before use if possible.
Feet feel damp or overheated
The breathable mesh should provide good ventilation. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow. For very humid conditions, consider moisture-wicking socks.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a pair that has better grip if this remains an issue.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and debris from the mesh and TPU upper. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher mud, a slightly stiffer brush can be used.
- Laces: Hand wash laces separately if they become heavily soiled. Allow to air dry completely.
- Footbed: Remove the footbed if possible and clean with a damp cloth. Ensure it is fully dry before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can damage materials.
