FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Nova 4 Traveller features a suede leather upper and a breathable mesh lining, which prioritizes ventilation over waterproofing. They are not designed to be waterproof.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for everyday wear, travel, urban exploration, and light to moderate trails. The Merrell Quantum Grip outsole provides confidence on varied surfaces.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Merrell or the retailer. Typically, you would measure your foot length and compare it to the corresponding UK size. The Nova 4 Traveller is available in UK size 4.
Can I wear these shoes for long-distance hiking?
While comfortable for extended wear due to the FloatPro Foam midsole, they are best suited for light to moderate trails. For very long-distance or highly technical hikes, a more specialized hiking boot might be recommended.
What is the primary difference between the Traveller and standard Nova models?
The Traveller version is specifically designed to blend athletic performance with everyday style and comfort for go-anywhere versatility, making it ideal for travel and daily use, whereas standard Nova models might focus more intensely on trail performance.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the texture. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a damp cloth, and allow to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the traditional laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are snug but not constricting. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if socks are too thick.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The Quantum Grip outsole is designed for durability and grip, but always exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of mud or debris, which can affect traction.
Suede appears dull or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a suede-specific cleaning guide or product. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners.
