Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?

What material is the upper made of?

How do I clean the leather?
Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth for deeper cleaning. Always allow the leather to air dry.
Are these shoes true to size?
Merrell shoes generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to consult a size guide or try them on with the socks you plan to wear most often.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff after being wet.
Let the shoes air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner.
The footbed is sliding inside the shoe.
Ensure the footbed is fully pushed to the back of the shoe and sits flat against the heel counter.
