Setup, Compatibility & Care
These hiking shoes are ready to wear out of the box, though a short break-in period is recommended to fully mold them to your feet. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks. To care for your Merrell Moab 3 GORE-TEX Hiking Shoes:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- 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 during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While the GORE-TEX membrane is durable, periodic treatment with a suitable waterproofing spray designed for outdoor footwear can help maintain performance, especially after extensive use.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
