Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell SpeedArc Matis hiking shoes, proper care is essential. When the shoes become dirty, gently brush off loose mud or dried dirt using a soft-bristled brush. For cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents that might degrade the waterproof membrane. After cleaning, always air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the leather and structural adhesives. For the best fit, pair them with moisture-wicking hiking socks, which complement the waterproof bootie technology by pulling sweat away from your skin, ensuring maximum comfort during your trek.
