FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for swimming?
The Merrell Hydro Moc is designed for activities in and around water, offering protection and quick drying. However, they are not designed as performance swim fins or water shoes for intense aquatic sports. They are best for wading, splashing, and general water play.
What is the main advantage of the Hydro Moc design?
The primary advantage is its easy on/easy off, slip-on design combined with enhanced durability for water environments. This makes them very convenient for active children.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
Refer to Merrell's official sizing chart for children's footwear. It's often recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the chart. Trying them on if possible is the best way to ensure a proper fit.
Can these shoes be worn with socks?
While designed to be worn barefoot, some users may prefer to wear thin water socks for added warmth or to help with a slightly loose fit. However, wearing socks may impact the quick-drying capabilities.
How do I clean the Merrell Hydro Moc?
Rinse with cool water after use. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water for tougher dirt, then air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The approximate weight for a child's size is around 410g.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Hydro Moc is water-friendly and designed to get wet. It is not waterproof in the sense of sealing out all water, but rather it is made from materials that drain and dry quickly.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose
Ensure the correct size has been selected. For minor looseness, consider wearing socks or checking if the foot is properly seated within the shoe.
Difficulty removing shoes
Ensure feet are completely dry when removing. If the shoe is wet, it may create suction. Try wiggling the heel while pulling.
Unpleasant odor after use
Rinse the shoes thoroughly with water after each use. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Baking soda can be used inside the shoe overnight to absorb odors.
Debris stuck in the shoe
Use a hose or tap to rinse out any lodged debris. Small objects may require careful removal by hand or with tweezers.
