Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Cham Redux Storm GORE-TEX® hiking shoes are designed for adults seeking reliable footwear for trails and everyday wear. Their key benefit is the waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane combined with a durable, comfortable construction inspired by an iconic archival design. A potential consideration is that while reimagined for modern performance, they retain a classic aesthetic which may not appeal to all style preferences.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The shoes are designed with a unisex fit. While not specifically advertised as wide-fit, the classic construction often accommodates a standard adult foot well. Trying them on or consulting customer reviews for fit feedback is recommended.
How do I ensure the GORE-TEX® stays effective?
Regular cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, helps maintain the membrane. Periodic re-application of a waterproofing treatment designed for GORE-TEX® footwear is also beneficial, especially after extensive use in wet conditions.
What is the intended terrain for these shoes?
These shoes are designed for hiking, suitable for varied terrains including trails, rocky paths, and general outdoor use. They offer good support and protection.
Can I wear these in very cold weather?
While they offer waterproof protection, they are primarily hiking shoes and not insulated winter boots. They can be worn in cool conditions with appropriate socks, but may not provide sufficient warmth for extreme cold.
What is the main difference between this 'Redux' model and older Chameleon shoes?
The Cham Redux Storm uses the blueprints of the archival Chameleon family but is reimagined with updated materials and construction for modern performance and lifestyle wear, while retaining the iconic silhouette.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent odor or material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period of several wears on shorter walks. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, check if the size is correct.
Water seeping through despite GORE-TEX®
Inspect seams and materials for damage. Ensure laces are tied securely. The waterproof membrane might need re-treatment if heavily worn. Clean and allow to dry completely before re-testing.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the outsoles to remove mud or debris that may be hindering traction. The tread pattern is designed for grip, but accumulation can reduce its effectiveness.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air dry shoes naturally. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials and membrane. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for GORE-TEX® footwear to maintain the membrane's effectiveness, especially after significant cleaning or heavy use in wet conditions.
