Merrell Jungle Moc - Midnight - UK Size 14

No, the suede upper of the Merrell Jungle Moc is not waterproof. It is advisable to treat them with a suede protector spray to help repel water and resist stains. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

The Merrell Jungle Moc is suitable for light trails, casual walks, and urban environments due to its 'Merrell sticky rubber outsole' providing good traction. However, they are not designed for challenging, rugged hiking trails where more robust support and protection are typically required.

Merrell shoes generally run true to size, but individual fit can vary. It is recommended to try them on to ensure the 'UK Size 14' is appropriate for your foot. Consider wearing the type of socks you typically would with these shoes when trying them on.

Thanks to the 'breathable mesh lining,' you can wear various types of socks, from thin casual socks to thicker walking socks, depending on comfort and climate. The breathability helps manage moisture even with socks.

Info needed: Whether the 50% recycled EVA foam insole is specifically designed to be removable for custom orthotics is not specified. Most standard insoles in this type of shoe are generally removable or replaceable.

The Merrell Jungle Moc features a 'lightweight EVA foam midsole,' contributing to an overall lightweight feel. This design prioritizes comfort and reduces foot fatigue, making them ideal for all-day wear without feeling cumbersome.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a suede eraser and brush, or a dedicated suede cleaning kit, following its instructions.

While the Merrell Air Cushion is durable, regular wear can compact insoles. The 50% recycled EVA foam insole may eventually benefit from replacement with a new high-quality insole for renewed cushioning and arch support. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

The double stretch gore is designed for flexibility. If they feel excessively loose, especially if they are a newer pair, ensure you have the correct size. For minor looseness, wearing thicker socks might help. If the shoes are significantly worn, the stretch gore may have lost some elasticity over time.
