FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The Merrell Relay Fly Vent is designed for casual wear and light activities. While the rubber outsole offers good traction, they are not specifically built for the demands of hiking and may lack the necessary support and protection for trails.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the EVA footbed is removable, making it compatible with most standard-sized custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles.
How do I clean the textile parts of the upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the textile areas. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and textile materials.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some protection against light moisture but are not suitable for wet conditions or heavy rain.
What does 'relaunched from the archive' mean?
It signifies that this shoe model is based on a past Merrell design that has been updated with modern materials and construction techniques for current wear.
What is the main benefit of the removable EVA footbed?
The removable EVA footbed provides cushioning and comfort, and it can be taken out to allow for custom orthotics or for easier cleaning.
What kind of outsole does this shoe have?
The shoe features a durable rubber outsole designed to provide reliable grip and traction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly snug, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider removing the EVA footbed to create more volume if needed.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any debris or slick residues. While the outsole provides grip, extreme wet conditions may still require caution.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to moisturize and protect the leather. For minor scuffs, a colored shoe cream matching the shoe's color can help.
Footbed needs replacement or cleaning.
The EVA footbed is removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely. Replacement footbeds can be purchased separately if needed.
