FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard SpeedArc Matis focus on breathability and agility, so they are not typically classified as fully waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While they are athletic, they are designed primarily for hiking and fast trekking. They lack the specific gait correction found in dedicated road running shoes.
How do I determine my size?
Merrell sizes follow standard adult UK sizing. It is recommended to try them on at the end of the day when your feet are at their largest.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the footbed is designed to be removable if you wish to insert your own custom orthotics.
What is the best way to clean the outer fabric?
Use a mild soap and a soft cloth or brush, then rinse gently and let them air dry away from heat.
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They are best suited for 3-season use. They lack the heavy insulation required for deep winter or snowy conditions.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during movement
Ensure the laces are tightened using a heel-lock lacing method to better secure the ankle and midfoot.
Material stiffness after long storage
Wear the shoes for short, low-intensity sessions to gradually soften the materials; do not force-flex the sole.
Dirt stuck in tread patterns
Use a specialized boot brush or a stiff, non-metallic brush to clear debris from the outsole channels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell SpeedArc Matis shoes remain in peak condition, proper care is essential.
- Break-in Period: While they offer immediate comfort, wear them for shorter walks to allow the footbed to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After trail use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth if needed. Do not submerge or machine wash.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can degrade the cushioning materials and glues.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
