Full details
The Merrell Cham Redux Storm GORE-TEX® Hiking Shoes are designed for adults seeking a blend of modern performance and lifestyle wear, building on the legacy of the archival Chameleon family.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX® membrane provides excellent waterproofing, but these are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For extreme winter conditions with deep snow, consider insulated winter boots.
How do I break in new Merrell hiking shoes?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Start with casual walks before undertaking long hikes.
Can I wear these shoes with orthotics?
Yes, the insole is typically removable, allowing space for custom orthotics or insoles. Check the specific insole construction if this is critical.
What is the main difference between Cham Redux Storm and older Chameleon models?
The Cham Redux Storm is a reimagining of the classic Chameleon silhouette, incorporating updated materials and construction for modern performance and lifestyle wear, while retaining the iconic look.
How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?
Re-waterproofing is usually only necessary if you notice a decrease in the water repellency of the outer material, typically after significant wear and tear.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
Merrell offers various fits. While this model aims for a balanced fit, individuals with particularly wide feet may want to try them on or consult sizing guides for specific width information if available.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX®.
Ensure socks are not absorbing moisture. Check for any physical damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. Make sure the shoes are properly dried after use in wet conditions.
Traction seems reduced on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole treads to remove mud or debris. Ensure the shoes have adequate break-in time. For very slick surfaces, consider the limitations of any footwear.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks. Adjust lacing to find a secure yet comfortable fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These hiking shoes require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. To care for your Merrell Cham Redux Storm GORE-TEX® Hiking Shoes and maintain their performance:
- Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt. If a deeper clean is needed, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and GORE-TEX® membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may want to treat the exterior with a waterproofing spray specifically designed for GORE-TEX® footwear to refresh water repellency.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
