Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell SpeedArc Matis shoes last, proper maintenance is essential. As these shoes feature suede overlays, it is recommended to use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud after each hike. If the material becomes saturated, let the shoes air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, which can damage the waterproof membrane. When fitting, ensure you are wearing the type of socks you plan to hike in to account for proper volume. For water resistance maintenance, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically formulated for suede and synthetic hiking footwear once the initial finish wears off.
