FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The SpeedArc Matis is designed for breathability and versatility. While they handle light moisture well, they are not marketed as fully waterproof hiking boots.
Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?
While they are comfortable, they are intended for fast hiking and light trails. For heavy-load backpacking, you may prefer a boot with more ankle support.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing for women. It is recommended to choose your typical athletic shoe size.
Can I wash these in a machine?
Hand cleaning is highly recommended. Machine washing can damage the structural integrity and adhesives of the shoe.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The SpeedArc Matis has a standard athletic fit. If you typically require wide-width footwear, you may want to try them on in-store to ensure proper comfort.
What surfaces do they perform best on?
They perform best on hard-packed trails, gravel paths, and urban environments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after prolonged wear
Feet naturally swell during hikes. Try adjusting the lacing to be slightly looser across the midfoot or ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks.
Outsole collecting excessive mud/debris
The traction pattern is performance-oriented. Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear stubborn mud from the lugs once it has partially dried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your SpeedArc Matis shoes will extend their lifespan significantly. Ensure you verify your size against the Merrell UK fit standards, as athletic shoes often feel more secure with a slightly thinner performance sock. After muddy or dusty outings, brush off loose debris with a soft, dry brush. If the shoes become significantly soiled, clean them using lukewarm water and a mild soap solution, air-drying them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the adhesives.
