FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for deep snow?
While the waterproof bootie provides protection against moisture, these are low-cut hiking shoes and are not designed for deep snow or winter conditions that require gaiters.
Can I wash these in a machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesives and the suede material. Always clean by hand using mild soap and a soft brush.
Are they true to size?
Merrell footwear generally fits true to size, but we recommend trying them on with your preferred hiking socks to ensure the correct fit.
Do they provide arch support?
Yes, the SpeedArc series is engineered with stability features that offer moderate arch support suitable for most hikers.
Can I use these for road running?
They are designed for hiking and walking; while they are lightweight, they may lack the specific cushioning and flexibility required for dedicated road running.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems less effective over time
Clean the exterior thoroughly and apply a fresh coat of DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray approved for suede footwear.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede-specific brush to lift the nap of the material and restore its texture.
Shoes feel tight after prolonged use
Check your lacing system; ensure the laces are adjusted to provide support without restricting circulation, and ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first outing, ensure the sizing is correct by testing them with the socks you plan to wear on the trail. To care for your suede SpeedArc Matis shoes, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried dirt after each excursion. If the surface becomes wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the suede to crack. Periodic application of a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede can help maintain the waterproof barrier and keep the material looking fresh.
