FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash your Merrell Wrapt shoes with mild soap and water to preserve the integrity of the materials.
Do I need special socks for these?
They are designed to be worn with either thin, moisture-wicking socks or no socks at all, depending on your personal preference.
Are these good for long-distance running?
While the Wrapt is excellent for walking and light movement, it is not specifically designed for long-distance running on hard surfaces due to its minimal cushioning.
How do I choose the right size?
The Wrapt fits true to size, but since they are meant to be worn with little to no sock thickness, choose your standard adult size.
Can I replace the insoles?
The Wrapt is designed with a specific fit; if you choose to use orthotics, ensure they are low-profile to maintain the intended barefoot feel.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after short walks
This is common for those new to barefoot footwear. Reduce your daily wearing time and gradually increase as your foot strength improves.
Sole grip feels slippery on wet, smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are free from debris and mud; wipe down with a damp cloth if necessary to restore surface tackiness.
Laces coming untied frequently
Try a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded tightly through all eyelets to distribute tension evenly across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell Wrapt shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: If you are new to barefoot shoes, start by wearing them for short periods during the day to allow your feet to adapt.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and cool water, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material degradation.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Ensure the laces are loosened when putting them on or taking them off to preserve the structure of the collar and eyelets.
- Compatibility: These shoes work best when worn with thin socks or no socks, depending on your comfort preference, to maintain the intended barefoot feel.
