Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 is ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them securely, adjusting the tightness to your comfort and the demands of the trail. The low-cut design allows for natural foot articulation.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail running and hiking. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. For optimal performance, use with socks that offer good moisture-wicking properties.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For the Matryx® upper, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can degrade the specialized materials.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush to remove mud and debris. A damp cloth can be used for further cleaning.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
