Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell SpeedArc Matis GORE-TEX® comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them snugly but not too tight, allowing for foot expansion during activity.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for a wide range of activities, from casual walking and travel to fast hiking and light trail running. They are compatible with most standard sock types.
Care:
- Cleaning Exterior: Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris after use. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
- Cleaning Interior: If the inside becomes soiled, use a damp cloth with water to gently clean the lining. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but avoid using excessive oil-based products or heavy waterproofing sprays not specifically designed for GORE-TEX® footwear, as they might impede breathability.
