Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell SpeedArc Matis remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear these shoes indoors or for short walks for 3-5 days before taking them on a long hike to allow the leather to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: After trail use, remove excess mud and dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Conditioning: Because the upper is leather, use a professional-grade leather conditioner occasionally to prevent the material from cracking or drying out.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place these shoes near a direct heat source, such as a heater or fireplace, as this can warp the leather and damage the waterproof lining.
