FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell SpeedArc Matis is designed for breathability and athletic performance; they are not marketed as fully waterproof.
Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?
They are ideal for light, fast hiking, but for long-distance backpacking with a heavy pack, a more supportive, structured boot might be preferred.
How do I ensure the UK 5.5 size is correct?
We recommend measuring your feet while wearing the socks you plan to hike in, as hiking socks are often thicker than casual ones.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
How often should I replace these shoes?
This depends on frequency and intensity of use, but generally, performance footwear should be inspected for tread wear every 300-500 miles.
Troubleshooting
Feeling debris inside the shoe during hiking
Ensure the laces are tightened properly to secure the heel and consider using a gaiter if on particularly loose terrain.
Slippage on very slick, wet surfaces
While designed for trails, adjust your stride length on wet rock surfaces and allow the tread to clear any packed mud.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell SpeedArc Matis, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Breaking In: While designed for comfort, take a few short walks on pavement before heading out on long, strenuous hikes to ensure the fit works with your specific socks.
- Cleaning: Remove loose debris after every trail use with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place near heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the performance adhesives and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold growth and maintain material integrity.
