Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Wrapt Mid Waterproof hiking shoes are designed for adult women seeking a close-to-earth feel without compromising on protection. They offer a natural foot movement thanks to a wide toe box and innovative design, coupled with reliable traction for various terrains. A potential caveat is that the 'barefoot' feel might require an adjustment period for those accustomed to heavily cushioned shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the Wrapt Mid Waterproof features a wide toe box designed to accommodate natural foot splay, making them suitable for wider feet.
How waterproof are these hiking shoes?
They feature a waterproof membrane designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions, such as rain or crossing shallow streams.
What is the main benefit of the 'close-to-earth' feel?
This design promotes better ground feel and proprioception, allowing for a more natural and potentially more stable stride.
Can I wear these for everyday use, not just hiking?
Yes, their comfort and waterproof features make them suitable for daily wear, especially in variable weather conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to Merrell's sizing chart and consider measuring your foot length. Given the natural fit design, ensuring the correct length and width is important for optimal performance.
What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
Moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blend socks are recommended to complement the shoe's performance and keep feet dry and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel cold or damp despite waterproofing
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Heavy cotton socks can retain moisture. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane or ensure laces are tied snugly to prevent water ingress from the top.
Discomfort due to the wide toe box or natural fit
Allow for a break-in period, especially if you are new to barefoot-style footwear. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly – snug but not constricting.
Traction seems poor on a specific surface
Ensure the Quantum Grip™ outsole is clean. Mud or debris can accumulate and reduce grip. For extremely slippery surfaces like wet ice, consider if the conditions exceed the intended performance range of the shoe.
