Product Information
Full details

Its key benefit is providing protection and reliable traction even when wet, allowing water to escape quickly.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for long-distance hiking on dry trails?
While durable, the Maipo Explorer Sieve is specifically designed for performance in wet conditions. For long-distance dry trails, a dedicated hiking shoe or boot from Merrell might offer better support and cushioning.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the Merrell sizing chart available on their official website. It's recommended to measure your foot length accurately and compare it with the provided chart. Trying them on if possible is always the best option.
Can I machine wash these sandals?
It is not recommended to machine wash these sandals. Hand washing with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, is the preferred method to preserve the materials and construction.
What is the warranty period for Merrell sandals?
Merrell typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Merrell website or the product packaging for specific warranty details applicable to your region.
How effective is the traction on slippery surfaces like algae-covered rocks?
The Maipo Explorer Sieve is engineered for enhanced traction on wet surfaces. While it provides superior grip compared to many other sandals, caution is always advised when navigating extremely slippery surfaces like algae-covered rocks.
Can I wear these sandals with socks?
While designed to be worn barefoot for optimal water drainage and performance, some users may choose to wear thin, moisture-wicking socks for added warmth or to prevent minor chafing. However, wearing thick socks may impede the water-draining capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels loose or causes rubbing
Adjust the straps for a more secure fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If rubbing persists, try wearing moisture-wicking socks or applying moleskin to potential irritation points.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from mud, sand, or debris. Sometimes, a thorough rinse is all that's needed to restore grip.
Water does not drain as quickly as expected
Check the drainage ports for any blockages from dirt or small stones. Gently clear any obstructions with a small, blunt object.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Maipo Explorer Sieve comes ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility: This sandal is designed for adult males and is best suited for wet environments, including rivers, lakes, and damp trails. It is compatible with casual outdoor attire.
Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your sandals:
- Rinsing: After use in water or on muddy terrain, rinse the sandals thoroughly with cool, clean water.
- Cleaning: For dirtier shoes, use a mild soap and a soft brush to gently clean the footbed and straps. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the sandals away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the materials. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
