FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the GORE-TEX waterproof membrane is designed to keep your feet dry even in heavy rain and wet conditions.
How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely away from heat.
What is the benefit of the Merrell Air Cushion in the heel?
The Air Cushion absorbs shock, providing extra stability and reducing fatigue during hikes and long walks.
How durable is the Merrell sticky rubber outsole?
The outsole is designed for excellent traction and durability on various terrains. Regular cleaning will help maintain its performance.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproof membrane. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What does the Aegis antimicrobial solution do?
It helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your feet fresher during and after use.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
While generally comfortable out of the box, like most hiking footwear, a short break-in period of a few shorter walks is recommended to allow them to fully conform to your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX lining.
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress. Check for any punctures in the GORE-TEX membrane or damage to the shoe. Allow shoes to dry completely and inspect for leaks.
Poor traction on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole of mud or debris, as this can impair grip. Ensure you are walking on surfaces compatible with the lug pattern. For extremely slick conditions, consider alternative footwear.
Discomfort or rubbing after wearing.
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially. Ensure the lacing system provides a snug but not overly tight fit. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.
Shoe odor persists.
Ensure shoes are aired out thoroughly after each use. Remove insoles and dry them separately if possible. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Washable insoles should be cleaned according to manufacturer instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. For initial wear, consider shorter walks to allow the shoes to mold to your feet.
Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, and trail exploration. They are designed for adult males.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents. Allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid exposing the shoes to excessive heat or sharp objects that could puncture the material. Re-treating the exterior periodically with a suitable waterproofing spray can help maintain water repellency.
- Odor Control: The Aegis antimicrobial treatment helps, but regular airing out of the shoes after use will also contribute to freshness.
