FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for vegan hikers?
Yes, the Merrell Accentor Sport 3 GORE-TEX® Hiking Shoes are suitable for vegans, as they are constructed with vegan-friendly materials and processes.
How do I clean the synthetic leather and mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher dirt, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
What is the benefit of the Merrell Air Cushion in the heel?
The Merrell Air Cushion is designed to absorb shocks and provide enhanced stability, reducing fatigue during long hikes.
How much do these shoes weigh?
A half pair weighs approximately 0lbs-15.51oz or 440g.
What does the 13mm drop mean?
The heel-to-toe drop of 13mm refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. This is a moderate drop, common in many hiking shoes, designed to provide cushioning and support.
Can I replace the EVA foam insole?
Yes, the EVA foam insole is removable, allowing for customization with aftermarket orthotics or different insole types if desired.
How effective is the odour control treatment?
The Cleansport NXT™ treatment provides natural odour control by breaking down odor-causing bacteria. While effective, proper airing and cleaning practices will further help manage odour.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproofing
Ensure laces are tied correctly to seal the tongue area. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seals. Moisture might also be entering from the top if not properly sealed.
Traction feels insufficient on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole of any mud or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. Ensure the terrain is within the shoe's intended grip capabilities.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Try adjusting the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Wear with appropriate hiking socks. If the issue persists after break-in, consider a different lacing technique or consult with a footwear specialist.
Noticeable odour after use
The Cleansport NXT™ treatment helps, but for persistent odour, air out the shoes after each use. Remove insoles to dry separately. Washable hiking socks can also help manage odour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for short distances initially to break them in.
Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, and general trail use. They pair well with moisture-wicking hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. If needed, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain their shape.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid prolonged submersion. For long-term care, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for GORE-TEX footwear.
