Product Information
Full details
The Merrell SpeedArc Matis is designed for active adult women who need a versatile footwear solution that transitions seamlessly from urban environments to rugged trails. These innovative fast hiking sneakers prioritize propulsion and exceptional underfoot comfort, making them an ideal choice for hikers who value speed and agility. While they offer superior athletic performance on varied terrain, users should note that as a lightweight, performance-focused shoe, they may require more frequent cleaning when used in heavy mud or debris compared to heavy-duty leather hiking boots.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The SpeedArc Matis is designed for breathability and agility; check your specific model to see if it features a waterproof membrane, as standard versions prioritize airflow.
Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?
These are primarily fast-hiking shoes. While suitable for day hikes, they are generally not designed for the heavy loads of multi-day backpacking.
How do I determine my size?
Merrell uses standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual athletic shoe size, keeping in mind you may want a half-size up if you prefer wearing thick hiking socks.
Are these suitable for gym workouts?
Yes, their athletic build and focus on propulsion make them quite capable for gym use, though the outsole is specifically optimized for outdoor trail conditions.
What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Always air dry at room temperature. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help draw out moisture without damaging the technical materials.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if you require specific arch support.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try using the heel-lock lacing technique by utilizing the top-most eyelets to secure your ankle.
Dirt stuck in the outsole tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear out debris between the lugs after your activity is complete.
Feeling damp inside after shallow puddles
Ensure your laces are tied securely and consider treating the upper with a water-repellent spray if conditions persist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell SpeedArc Matis shoes remain in peak condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Break-in: While these shoes are comfortable out of the box, wear them on short walks to allow the cushioning to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every hike. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning.
- Compatibility: These are designed for standard athletic socks; moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool blends are recommended to enhance the performance of the shoe's internal lining.
