Merrell - Moab 2 Slide Leather Woven 1TRL - Brown - Cream

While they feature Merrell's durable construction and Vibram® outsole, they are designed as slides for casual wear and light outdoor activities. For serious hiking, a more secure, closed-toe shoe is recommended.

Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, but ensure to rinse thoroughly with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

These slides are not designed for submersion in water. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to water is not recommended due to the leather construction.

The primary difference is the open, slip-on design, offering ease of wear. They provide less foot coverage and security compared to lace-up shoes.

The slides should fit snugly but comfortably without being too tight or loose. Your heel should not overhang the back of the footbed. Refer to Merrell's sizing chart for accurate measurements.

'1TRL' likely refers to the 'Trail' or 'Outdoor' aspect of the Merrell brand, indicating a connection to their heritage of durable outdoor footwear, even in a casual slide format.

The outsole features a Vibram® Ecostep Recycle rubber, which incorporates recycled content, contributing to a more sustainable design.

Wear the slides for short periods initially to allow the full-grain leather to break in and mold to your foot. You can also try using a leather conditioner to soften the material.

The Vibram® Ecostep Recycle outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces. Exercise caution when walking on wet or slippery surfaces, as they are sandals and may not offer the grip of hiking boots.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean and condition the leather regularly with appropriate products to maintain its color and integrity.

This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Ensure the footbed and outsole are clean. If the noise persists, a very light application of talcum powder inside the shoe or on the footbed might help.
