FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX® waterproof membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary by individual, but often lasts for the first few uses or wears. Gradually increasing wear time will help them mold to your foot shape.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
Absolutely. The Cham Redux Storm is designed with a blend of performance and lifestyle wear, making them suitable for casual outings as well as hiking.
What is the best way to clean the brown leather and fabric?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt, followed by a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Do these shoes come in different colors?
While this guide focuses on the brown model, Merrell often offers its popular series in a range of colors. Please check available listings for other color options.
What kind of socks are recommended?
Merino wool or synthetic hiking socks are recommended. They provide cushioning, moisture-wicking properties, and help prevent blisters, complementing the shoe's performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period of several wears. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, double-check the sizing or consider if a different model might be a better fit.
Water seeping through the shoes.
Ensure the shoe's tongue is properly aligned and the laces are tied snugly to prevent water entry around the ankle. If leakage occurs through the material itself, contact customer support as the GORE-TEX® membrane may be compromised.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
Clean the outsole treads to remove any mud or debris that might be hindering traction. The grip is designed for specific conditions; for extremely slick surfaces, exercise caution.

Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX® membrane.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX® membrane is inherent to the shoe. Regularly clean the shoes to maintain breathability and performance. Consider using a suitable waterproofing spray designed for hiking footwear if desired, focusing on the leather and fabric elements.
