Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Men's Accentor Walking Shoe is designed for adult males seeking comfortable and protective footwear for summer hikes. Its key benefit is guaranteed dryness thanks to a GORE-TEX lining, combined with shock absorption and stability features. A potential caveat is that while designed for summer, the waterproof membrane might offer less breathability in extreme heat compared to non-waterproof options. This shoe features a durable suede and mesh upper, bellows tongue to keep out debris, Merrell sticky rubber outsole for traction, and an air cushion in the heel for shock absorption and stability.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the EVA midsole and heel air cushion are designed to provide comfort and support for extended periods of walking and hiking.
How do I ensure the waterproof feature lasts?
Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Clean gently with cool water and air dry. Check for any physical damage to the GORE-TEX membrane.
Can I wear these shoes in very hot weather?
The GORE-TEX membrane offers breathability, but like all waterproof footwear, they may feel warmer than non-waterproof options in extreme heat. They are best suited for moderate temperatures and wet conditions.
What is the benefit of the bellows tongue?
The bellows tongue is attached to the shoe along the sides, creating a seal that helps to keep out water, dirt, and debris, enhancing comfort and protection on the trail.
How deep are the lugs on the outsole?
The lugs on the Merrell sticky rubber outsole are 4.2mm deep, providing good grip on varied terrain.
What is the Aegis antimicrobial treatment for?
The Aegis treatment is applied to help reduce odor-causing bacteria, keeping your feet feeling fresher during and after your hikes.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for general walking, light to moderate hiking on trails, and outdoor activities where comfort, protection, and reliable traction are needed.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite waterproof claims
Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking. Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Make sure the tongue is properly seated to prevent water ingress from the top.
Traction is poor on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly of mud and debris, as this can impede grip. Ensure the shoe is not worn out; lug depth is 4.2mm when new.
Shoe odor persists
While the Aegis treatment helps, regular airing out of the shoes after use is recommended. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles if odor becomes a significant issue over time.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks. Experiment with different sock thicknesses.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Waterproof Membrane Maintenance: While GORE-TEX is durable, avoid abrasive cleaning agents. Periodically rinse off dirt with cool water.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not use artificial heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
