FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The SpeedArc Matis is designed for breathability and speed; it does not feature a dedicated waterproof membrane, making it best for dry conditions or trails where quick drying is preferred.
Can I use these for trail running?
While primarily designed for fast hiking, their athletic profile and comfort make them suitable for light trail running on non-technical surfaces.
How should I choose my size?
Merrell sizes are generally standard, but for hiking footwear, it is recommended to have a small amount of extra room in the toe box to accommodate foot swelling during long walks.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
These shoes are best suited for 3-season use. They lack the thermal insulation required for deep winter or snow-covered mountain conditions.
How do I maintain the grip on the outsoles?
Regularly remove caked-on mud from the tread pattern to ensure the lug design can effectively bite into the terrain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points during initial wear
Adjust the lacing tension throughout different sections of the foot or consider using a different thickness of hiking sock to allow for proper material settling.
Accumulation of trail debris inside the shoe
Ensure the heel collar is snug and consider using a low-profile gaiter if hiking in very sandy or rocky conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell SpeedArc Matis shoes remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors or on light walks before embarking on longer, strenuous hikes to ensure the fit matches your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt after every use with a soft-bristled brush. If deeper cleaning is required, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Never submerge the shoes in water or use a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized adhesives and materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can cause the upper materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup inside the lining.
