Product Information

Full details

The Merrell SpeedArc Matis is designed for active adults who need a versatile, athletic hybrid sneaker that performs equally well on urban streets and rugged trails. Featuring a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane and a high-traction Vibram Mega Grip outsole, these shoes provide exceptional comfort and stability for fast-paced hiking; however, the technical bungee lace system may feel restrictive for those who prefer the precise adjustability of traditional knotted laces.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for technical mountain climbing?

No, these are designed for fast hiking and walking. They lack the aggressive lug depth and stiff construction required for technical climbing.

Can I replace the bungee laces with traditional laces?

While the shoe is designed for the bungee system, you can replace them with standard laces if you prefer a more traditional locked-in feel.

How do I maintain the waterproof Gore-Tex feature?

Keep the outer fabric clean. Dirt and debris can clog the pores of the membrane, reducing breathability and waterproofing efficacy over time.

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find the sizing to be standard, but if you plan to wear thick wool hiking socks, consider sizing up by a half size for extra room.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the EVA foam insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.

Can these be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural components and the waterproof membrane.

Troubleshooting

Bungee lace feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the toggle tension. If it remains loose, ensure the lace is fully seated within the guides and not caught on the eyelets.

Reduced breathability or feeling damp inside

Check that the Gore-Tex membrane is not obstructed by heavy caked-on mud. Clean the exterior and ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks.

Developing odors despite treatment

Remove the EVA insole and wash it separately with mild detergent and air-dry. Ensure the shoe interior is completely dry before re-inserting the insole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on varied surfaces via Vibram outsoles
  • Waterproof protection suitable for diverse weather
  • Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue
  • Built-in odor management
  • Versatile design transitions well from trail to city

Cons

  • Bungee lacing may not offer a custom fit for all foot shapes
  • Waterproofing can reduce breathability in extreme heat
  • Limited to specific aesthetic colorways

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify your sizing to allow for enough room in the toe box, especially when wearing thicker hiking socks. The bungee lace system can be adjusted by sliding the toggle to your preferred tension. For care, avoid submerging the shoes if possible. To clean, remove excess dirt with a soft brush and use lukewarm water with a mild soap. Always air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, as this can degrade the Gore-Tex membrane and the foam midsole adhesives. Removing the EVA foam insole after particularly wet hikes can help the internal cavity dry faster.
