FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and textile materials.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Merrell Relay Fly Vent SE is designed as a casual, low-profile shoe and is not intended for running or athletic activities.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the shoe features a removable EVA footbed, which can be replaced with custom orthotics or other insoles if desired.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.

What is the primary benefit of the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction and durability on various surfaces encountered during everyday wear.

Is this shoe waterproof?

The shoe is not designed to be waterproof. While the leather and textile materials offer some resistance, they are not waterproof and should be protected from heavy moisture.

What is the fit like?

The fit is generally true to size for a casual shoe. However, personal preference may vary, and trying them on is recommended for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear

This is normal for leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your foot.

Discoloration of leather

Ensure you are using appropriate leather care products. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals, which can cause fading.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides grip, but performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. Use caution when walking on very slick surfaces.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the leather.
  2. Cleaning Textiles: Spot clean textile areas with mild soap and water.
  3. Footbed: The removable EVA footbed can be taken out and wiped clean with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
  4. Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to help repel water and stains.
