FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Merrell Relay is designed as a casual low-profile sneaker and does not contain the technical support required for running.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Relay features a removable EVA footbed, making it compatible with most aftermarket or custom orthotic insoles.
How do I know my size?
The Merrell Relay follows standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual athletic shoe size.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather provides some natural resistance to light moisture, they are not classified as waterproof.
Does the leather require a break-in period?
Most users find them comfortable immediately, but the leather will naturally soften and conform to your foot shape after a few wears.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Relay series is available in various iterations including green and brown, as well as suede materials in the Relay SE series.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight after walking.
Ensure the laces are adjusted to allow for natural foot swelling during the day, or consider removing the EVA footbed if using custom insoles.
Leather surface shows signs of scuffing.
Use a matching black leather cream or polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the material's luster.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell Relay shoes remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather protector spray before first use to guard against dirt and moisture.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away surface dust. Use a dedicated leather cleaner for deeper stains.
- Drying: Always let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
- Insole Care: If the removable EVA footbed becomes damp, take it out to air dry separately to maintain hygiene and comfort.
