FAQs
What is the primary intended use for these shoes?
These shoes are designed for moderate hiking, walking, and general lifestyle wear, blending performance with casual style.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not explicitly state waterproof capabilities for this specific variant, but Merrell often uses technologies like GORE-TEX® in similar models. Check specific product details or branding for confirmation.
How do I know if the UK size 8.5 will fit me?
It is recommended to consult a Merrell sizing chart to convert your standard shoe size to the UK sizing system. Trying them on with your usual hiking socks is also advisable.
Can I wear these shoes for long-distance trekking?
While comfortable for extended wear, their suitability for very long-distance trekking depends on the terrain and individual needs for ankle support and cushioning. They are generally best suited for moderate trails.
What is the main difference between the Cham Redux Storm and older Chameleon models?
The Cham Redux Storm is a reimagining of the archival Chameleon family, updated from the ground up for modern performance and lifestyle wear, suggesting updated materials and construction techniques.
What colours are available?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if the break-in period is needed. Refer to sizing charts if unsure about UK sizing.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Inspect the outsole for embedded debris that might be hindering grip. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the shoe is older, the tread may be worn down, suggesting it's time for a replacement.
Water seeping into the shoe
Check for any damage to the shoe's upper or seams. If the shoe is designed with water-resistant features, ensure they are maintained. Consider applying a water-repellent treatment if appropriate for the material.
