Full details
The Merrell SpeedArc Matis is designed for active adults who need a versatile, athletic hybrid shoe capable of transitioning smoothly from city streets to rugged trails.

FAQs
Is the Merrell SpeedArc Matis waterproof?
These shoes are designed for breathability and comfort. While they handle light moisture, they are not classified as fully waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While the shoe is athletic and fast, it is specifically optimized for fast hiking and walking, not long-distance road running.
How do I determine the correct size?
Merrell sizing is generally true to fit; choose your standard athletic shoe size and ensure there is a thumb-width of space in the toe box.
Are these suitable for rocky or loose terrain?
The outsole is designed for moderate trail use. They provide good grip on gravel and dirt, but use caution on loose, scree-heavy slopes.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the specialized adhesives and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand-cleaning is preferred.
Does this shoe offer arch support?
The SpeedArc design features a supportive footbed structure meant to assist with natural foot mechanics during fast-paced movement.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long periods of wear
Ensure your lacing is not too tight and consider using moisture-wicking synthetic socks to prevent pressure points.
Accumulated dirt in the outsole tread
Use a stiff-bristled utility brush to dislodge gravel and mud from the treads after every use to maintain traction.
Loss of initial cushioning feel
Check the interior sockliner; if it has compressed, replacing the insert with a fresh, aftermarket performance insole can restore comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell SpeedArc Matis, it is recommended to break them in with short, 30-minute walks on flat surfaces before embarking on longer hiking excursions. Compatibility is best with standard performance hiking socks that manage moisture effectively. For care, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, remove loose debris with a soft-bristled brush after each hike. If the material gets muddy, wipe it clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air-dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the cushioning materials and adhesives.
