Product Information
Full details
The Merrell SpeedArc Matis is designed for active individuals who require a versatile trainer that balances outdoor-ready durability with urban-friendly comfort. Featuring lightweight FloatPro foam and a reliable Vibram MegaGrip outsole, this shoe excels at providing a smooth, supported ride on varied terrain; however, users should note that the 3mm lug depth is best suited for light trails and mixed surfaces rather than aggressive technical mountaineering.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell SpeedArc Matis features breathable mesh for maximum airflow, meaning it is not waterproof and will allow water to pass through if submerged.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While the cushioning is excellent for walking and light trail use, these are best categorized as versatile outdoor trainers rather than dedicated high-mileage road running shoes.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe, with no slipping at the heel.
Is the Cleansport NXT permanent?
It is a long-lasting treatment, but its effectiveness can diminish over time based on usage and frequency of cleaning. It is not a permanent feature like a material weave.
Are the materials truly vegan?
Yes, this model is produced without the use of any animal-based glues or materials, making it suitable for vegan footwear requirements.
Troubleshooting
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks and remove the footbed after a particularly sweaty workout to allow for faster interior drying.
Slippage on very loose terrain
The 3mm lugs are optimized for trails and city use; if you find yourself slipping, ensure your laces are tightened securely using all eyelets to lock the heel in place.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip from the Vibram MegaGrip outsole
- Lightweight and breathable design for all-day comfort
- Environmentally conscious with 100% recycled lining and 60% recycled laces
- Odor-neutralizing Cleansport NXT treatment
- Versatile performance for light trails and daily movement
Cons
- 3mm lugs are not sufficient for extremely muddy or technical terrain
- Lacks the heavy-duty ankle support of dedicated high-cut hiking boots
- Primary focus is on speed and agility rather than maximum rugged protection
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell SpeedArc Matis, keep the following in mind:
- Fit: These trainers are designed for a performance fit. If you plan on using thick wool hiking socks, consider testing your fit with those specific socks to ensure sufficient room in the toe box.
- Care: Clean the exterior by gently brushing off loose dirt after use. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive integrity.
- Footbed: The EVA footbed is removable. If you use custom insoles, simply lift the existing footbed out and replace it with your own. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally after wet conditions, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
