FAQs
Are the Merrell Relay shoes waterproof?
No, the Relay is constructed from leather and is not marketed as waterproof. It is best suited for dry or mild weather conditions.
Can I put the insoles in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand-wash the removable EVA footbed with mild soap and water, then air dry. Avoid machine washing to preserve the shape and density of the foam.
Are these shoes suitable for light hiking?
While they provide good traction on flat surfaces, they are designed as lifestyle sneakers and are not intended for steep, rocky, or uneven hiking trails.
Do I need to break these in?
As they are made of premium leather, they may feel slightly stiff at first. They will soften and mold to your foot shape within a few days of regular wear.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can replace the standard laces with any matching length lace if you prefer a different color or material.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels slightly tight in the width
Try loosening the lacing system significantly before sliding your foot in to ensure the leather upper can flex comfortably to your foot shape.
Footbed is sliding or uncomfortable
Ensure the EVA footbed is correctly seated inside the heel cup; if it persists, remove and clean the underside to improve friction against the internal sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell Relay shoes last, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.
- Footbed Maintenance: Periodically remove the EVA footbed to let the interior air out. This prevents odor buildup and keeps the shoe fresh.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can damage the leather and the adhesive bonding the sole.
- Compatibility: The removable footbed makes these shoes highly compatible with aftermarket arch supports or custom orthotics for users who require extra structural guidance.
