Merrell Hydro Moc - Black - UK 14

The Hydro Next Gen Moc 1TRL is best suited for light trails or post-hike wear due to its cushioning and slip-on design. For technical or long-distance hiking, a shoe with more robust support and lacing would be recommended.

While designed to be worn sockless for maximum comfort and quick drying, they can be worn with thin, moisture-wicking socks if preferred.

Refer to the brand's sizing chart. The Hydro Next Gen Moc 1TRL generally runs true to size, but if you are between sizes, consider trying on a pair if possible or opting for the larger size for a roomier fit.

They are water-friendly and designed to dry quickly, making them suitable for wet conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof, meaning water can enter the shoe.

The Next Gen version features a hands-free entry system, enhanced FloatMax cushioning for superior comfort, and an improved heel shape for better stability.

The sole is constructed from durable EVA material, providing cushioning and traction.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Some users find a brief break-in period helps the cushioning conform to their foot. Try wearing them for short periods initially.

Ensure the heel collar is fully extended. If the fit is very snug, try using a shoehorn for initial entry until the shoe molds slightly to your foot.

Clean the insoles with a mild soap and water solution, then air dry completely. Storing in a dry place and airing them out regularly can help prevent odor buildup.

While designed for water, the grip may be reduced on extremely smooth, wet surfaces. Exercise caution and ensure the outsole is clear of debris.
