Product Information
Full details
The Merrell SpeedArc Matis is a versatile low-top hiking shoe designed for adult men who need a seamless transition between rugged trail performance and casual urban wear. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of a high-traction Vibram MegaGrip outsole and a lightweight FloatPro foam midsole, providing both stability and all-day comfort. While the shoe offers exceptional grip and support, users should note that the low-top design provides less ankle protection than traditional mid-cut hiking boots, making it better suited for well-maintained trails rather than extreme backcountry trekking.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The SpeedArc Matis features a breathable mesh upper which prioritizes airflow. While it provides some protection, it is not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?
These are designed for fast hiking and day use. They are generally not recommended for heavy-pack backpacking where high-cut ankle support is needed.
How should I clean the Vibram outsole?
Use a stiff brush to remove debris from the lugs and rinse with cool water if necessary to maintain traction.
Does the odor control wear off?
Cleansport NXT is an integrated treatment that remains effective for a significant period; however, regular cleaning of the footbed will extend its effectiveness.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the shoes come with a removable EVA foam footbed, making them compatible with custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels less supportive over time
Remove the removable EVA footbed and inspect it for compression; consider replacing it with an aftermarket insole if you require additional arch support.
Outer material showing signs of dirt buildup
Allow mud to dry completely and gently brush it off with a dry, soft brush before using a damp cloth for deeper cleaning.
Slipping inside the shoe
Re-lace the shoes using a runner's loop at the top eyelet to secure the heel into the molded TPU heel counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are a low-top hiking shoe, no complex break-in period is typically required, though wearing them for short walks before a long hike is recommended to ensure your feet are accustomed to the fit. For maintenance, keep your shoes performing optimally by removing the EVA foam footbed after particularly wet or muddy hikes to allow it to air dry separately. Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to spot-clean the mesh and TPU exterior. Do not submerge or machine wash the shoes, as this can break down the adhesives and foam integrity over time.
