Product Information
Full details
The Merrell SpeedArc Matis is designed for the modern adult hiker who demands a seamless transition between urban environments and rugged trails. This athletic fast-hiking sneaker prioritizes propulsion and comfort to reduce foot fatigue during long treks, though users should note that as a lightweight performance shoe, it may offer less ankle stability than a traditional heavy-duty hiking boot.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The SpeedArc Matis is designed for breathability and athletic performance; it is not classified as a fully waterproof shoe.
Can I use these for heavy-duty backpacking?
These are optimized for fast hiking and light trails. For heavy-duty backpacking with a large, weighted pack, a more rigid boot with ankle support is recommended.
How should I clean the exterior?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a soft brush to remove dried mud. Avoid submerging in a washing machine.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
The SpeedArc Matis generally features an athletic, standard-width profile.
Are they suitable for road running?
While they provide good propulsion, they are designed as a hybrid hiking shoe. They can be used for casual runs on mixed terrain, but a dedicated road shoe is better for pure asphalt running.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long walks
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly to lock the heel in place, and check if an aftermarket insole is needed for your specific arch type.
Accumulation of mud in the tread
Use a specialized boot brush or a dull plastic tool to dislodge debris from the outsole pattern to restore grip.
Upper material showing light stains
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry completely.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, ensure you have selected the correct UK size, as the SpeedArc Matis is built for an athletic, snug fit. Before your first long hike, wear the shoes around the house or on short walks to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt using a soft-bristle brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the upper materials.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place near heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as extreme heat can warp the internal structure and degrade adhesives.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for lodged stones or debris that may affect traction.
