FAQs
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The SpeedArc Matis is designed for breathability, so while it handles damp trails well, it is not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While they are athletic, they are specifically tuned for fast hiking and walking rather than high-impact road running.
How do I know if the UK 5 is the right size?
You should have about 0.5 to 1 inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the stock insoles can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if needed.
Can I wash these in the laundry machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and adhesives of the shoe.
Are these shoes durable for rocky terrain?
They are designed for standard trails; avoid sharp, jagged scree slopes to maximize the lifespan of the outsole.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage inside the shoe
Adjust the lacing pattern to be tighter across the midfoot to secure the heel.
Difficulty cleaning light-colored mesh
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft-bristled brush to spot treat stained areas.
Outsole debris accumulation
Use a toothpick or a dull plastic tool to carefully dislodge small pebbles from the tread patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your SpeedArc Matis, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them on short walks around the house or neighborhood before attempting long-distance hikes to allow the foam to contour to your feet.
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard sizing; ensure your UK size 5 fit allows for a thumb's width of space at the toe to accommodate foot swelling during activity.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each hike. For mud, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never submerge in water or use a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry only in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
