FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather?
These shoes are designed for three-season use and offer waterproofing. They are not insulated for extreme cold; consider warmer socks or specialized winter boots for sub-zero temperatures.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
It's recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with Merrell's official sizing chart, or try them on if possible. UK sizing can differ from other international standards.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproof membrane. Hand wash and air dry as per the care instructions.
What is the main advantage of the FLEXconnect® grooves?
The FLEXconnect® grooves are dual-directional flex-grooves in the midsole that enhance ground connection and allow for more natural foot movement on varied terrain.
How durable are the synthetic and TPU overlays?
The 3D Print and TPU overlays are specifically placed in wear zones to increase durability and protect the shoe from abrasion on rough trails.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
A half pair (one shoe) weighs approximately 10.05 oz or 285g.
How effective is the odor control?
The Cleansport NXT™ treatment provides natural odor control by treating the shoe lining. Regular drying and airing will help maintain its effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite being 'waterproof'
Ensure the bootie construction is fully sealed and laces are not allowing water to seep in. Check for any damage to the upper. Deep submersion may exceed the waterproof limits.
Slipping on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs to remove mud or debris that can impede traction. The 3mm lugs provide good grip, but extremely slick surfaces may still pose a challenge.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify the correct size has been selected. Try wearing them with appropriate hiking socks. Break them in on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.
Unpleasant odor developing
Allow shoes to air dry completely after use. The Cleansport NXT™ treatment helps, but regular drying and airing out will maximize its effectiveness.

Care:
