Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Moab 3 hiking shoes, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them around the house or on short walks for a few days to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove excess mud after every hike using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can damage the waterproof membrane and leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold growth on the leather components.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tight but not restrictive to maintain stability while allowing for natural foot swelling during long treks.
