Merrell Moab Advent - Leather - Brown - UK 7.5

The description does not explicitly state that these shoes are waterproof. The full-grain leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but they are not designed to be fully waterproof. For wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather footwear, or look for models explicitly marketed as waterproof.

For basic cleaning, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

This indicates the leather needs conditioning. Clean the leather thoroughly, then apply a suitable leather conditioner or balm. Repeat periodically to keep the leather supple and nourished.

Remove the insoles and allow them and the shoes to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider washing the insoles periodically (check manufacturer care instructions for insoles). Using shoe deodorizers or odor-absorbing inserts can also help.
