FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX lining provides excellent weather protection, but they are designed primarily as 3-season hikers and may not offer the insulation required for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
How do I know if the size 9 UK is right for me?
Merrell sizing is generally true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet while wearing the hiking socks you intend to use to ensure proper room for toe splay.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if preferred.
Is the outsole suitable for muddy trails?
The sticky rubber outsole features lugs designed to provide traction on loose and muddy surfaces, offering good stability in damp trail conditions.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper consists of high-quality, durable leather, which provides a balance of structural support and protection against trail debris.
How often should I re-waterproof the leather?
This depends on frequency of use; however, if you notice water no longer beads off the surface, it is time to re-apply a waterproofing treatment.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX lining
Ensure the shoe is not submerged above the tongue line, as water can enter through the collar.
Accumulation of unpleasant odors
Remove the insole and wash it with soap and water; ensure the shoe is fully dry before the next use.
Leather looks worn or stiff
Clean the shoes thoroughly and apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore flexibility and protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell Accentor shoes remain in peak condition, proper care is essential:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them on shorter walks before attempting long-distance hikes to allow the leather upper to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt after each hike using a soft brush. For deep cleaning, use mild soap and water. Avoid submerging the shoes fully if possible.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place them near direct heat sources like heaters or radiators, as this can crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather upper with an appropriate leather conditioner to prevent drying and maintain the waterproof integrity of the outer material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
