FAQs
Are the Merrell Jungle Mocs waterproof?
The Merrell Jungle Moc features a *suede upper* and is not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to water can damage the suede and potentially compromise comfort. We recommend applying a suede-specific water and stain protector for enhanced resistance.
How do I clean the suede on my Jungle Mocs?
For basic cleaning, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner (following the product's instructions) should be used. Always allow them to air dry completely.
Can I use these for hiking?
The Merrell Jungle Moc is designed for casual wear and 'aftersport' comfort. While the *Merrell sticky rubber outsole* provides good traction, these shoes are best suited for light trails, walking, and urban environments, not strenuous hiking or rugged terrain.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
Yes, the Merrell Jungle Moc includes a *lightweight EVA foam midsole* and a *50% recycled EVA foam insole* which, combined with the *Merrell Air Cushion in the heel*, provides a good level of comfort and support, including moderate arch support, suitable for all-day casual wear.
What does 'double stretch gore' mean?
The 'double stretch gore' refers to the two elastic panels, one on each side of the shoe's opening. These elastic sections allow the shoe to stretch, making it easy to slip on and off without laces, while also helping to secure the shoe comfortably on your foot.
Are these shoes true to size?
Merrell shoes generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, it is often suggested to go up to the next half size for slip-on styles, but personal preference can vary.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, use a suede cleaning eraser or cleaner.
Shoes feel less supportive over time
While the *Merrell Air Cushion* is durable, consistent heavy use can compress insoles. Consider replacing the 50% recycled EVA foam insole with a new Merrell-approved insole for renewed cushioning and support.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by moisture or friction between parts of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior, and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure socks are completely dry.
Shoes feel too loose or stretched
The *double stretch gore* is designed for easy entry, but excessive stretching can occur over time. For a slightly snugger fit, try wearing thicker socks. If the issue persists significantly, it may indicate wear beyond typical expectations.

Setup
Getting started with your Merrell Jungle Moc is incredibly simple. Thanks to the *double stretch gore*, just slip your foot in. There are no laces or buckles, making them perfect for quick transitions.
Compatibility
These shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and as an 'aftersport' recovery shoe. They pair well with athleisure wear, jeans, khakis, and other comfortable, everyday attire. Their robust traction makes them suitable for walking on paved surfaces, light trails, and indoor use. They are not recommended for heavy-duty hiking, running, or water-intensive activities due to the suede material.
Care
Maintaining your Merrell Jungle Moc, particularly the *suede upper*, is key to its longevity and appearance:
- Cleaning: For light dirt, brush the suede gently with a soft-bristled suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid forced drying, which can damage the suede.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Outsole: Wipe the *Merrell sticky rubber outsole* with a damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain optimal traction.
