Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Relay Fly Vent SE is a modern, low-profile sneaker designed for adult males seeking a sleek and elevated everyday shoe. Its key benefit lies in combining a sophisticated leather and textile upper with exceptional wearability and comfort, thanks to a removable EVA footbed and durable rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoes are new, wear them for short periods to break them in. You can also try removing the EVA footbed for a slightly looser fit or to accommodate custom insoles.
Leather/textile upper appears dirty
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a lightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
Soles are slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For persistent slipperiness on smooth surfaces, consider if the shoe is appropriate for the intended surface or if the outsole wear pattern is uneven.
