Full details
The Merrell Relay Fly Vent SE is designed for men seeking a versatile, low-profile sneaker that bridges the gap between casual daily wear and elevated style. Featuring a refined leather construction and a supportive removable footbed, these shoes offer exceptional comfort for long days on your feet, though the low-cut profile means they are best suited for light urban walking rather than rugged trail performance.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Relay Fly Vent SE is made of leather and is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-safe water repellent spray if you plan to wear them in light rain.
Can I replace the original insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, the EVA footbed is fully removable, making these shoes compatible with most custom or aftermarket orthotic inserts.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
Are these suitable for light hiking?
These are primarily designed as lifestyle and urban walking shoes. They are suitable for light paths but are not engineered for technical trails.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Merrell Relay typically fits true to standard UK sizing. If you prefer to wear thicker socks, some users prefer to go up a half size.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels loose or shifts while walking
Ensure the EVA footbed is fully seated and aligned with the heel cup inside the shoe.
Leather looks dull or scuffed
Use a soft brush to remove debris, then apply a matching leather cream or conditioner to restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Relay sneakers, keep the leather clean by wiping them down with a damp cloth after use in dusty conditions. If the leather begins to dry, use a high-quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness. The EVA footbed is removable; if it absorbs moisture during a long day, remove it to allow both the shoe and the insert to air out overnight. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the adhesive bonding the sole.
