FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather hiking?

No, this specific variant of Merrell Intercept Walking Shoes is noted as non-waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions or activities where water exposure is minimal.

What size should I order?

These shoes are listed in UK sizes. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size. If you are unsure, consult a Merrell size guide, or consider trying them on if possible.

How do I clean the leather?

Brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat and apply leather conditioner periodically.

Can I use these for trail running?

The Merrell Intercept are designed as walking and hiking shoes, offering durability and support for varied terrains. While suitable for brisk walks, they are not specifically engineered for the high-impact demands of trail running.

Do they offer good arch support?

Yes, these shoes are designed to provide comfort and support for various terrains, which typically includes adequate arch support for walking and light hiking activities.

What type of socks should I wear with these?

For optimal comfort and moisture management, we recommend wearing quality hiking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks as they retain moisture.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods, gradually increasing duration to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.

Feet feel too warm or sweaty.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate breathable socks (e.g., merino wool or synthetic hiking socks) to wick away moisture. The non-waterproof nature of these shoes can offer better breathability in dry conditions.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are tying a double knot. You can also try different lacing techniques like the surgeon's knot for a more secure hold.

Leather appears dry or is cracking.

Clean the shoes and apply a suitable leather conditioner or balm. Regular conditioning helps maintain the leather's flexibility and extends its lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & First Use:

Upon receiving your Merrell Intercept Walking Shoes, unlace them fully and insert your foot. Adjust the laces from the toes upwards, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit that allows for natural foot movement without excessive pressure points. Walk around indoors for a short period to assess the fit and feel. Leather shoes may require a short break-in period to fully mold to your feet, improving comfort over time.

Compatibility:

These shoes are designed for general outdoor walking and hiking. They pair well with standard hiking socks for optimal comfort and moisture wicking. Their robust design is compatible with various terrains, from urban parks to moderate hiking trails.

Care & Maintenance:

Cleaning: After use, especially if dirty, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner manufacturer's instructions.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Water Resistance: As this variant is non-waterproof, consider applying a leather protector spray for minor splash resistance, but note this will not make them waterproof.
