Product Information

Full details

The Merrell Speed Arc Matis is a versatile low-profile hiking shoe designed for adult men who need a reliable, waterproof companion for varied outdoor adventures. Its core strength lies in its high-performance Vibram MegaGrip outsole and lightweight construction, providing excellent traction and comfort on both wet and dry terrain. One notable caveat is that as a low-cut model, it offers less ankle support compared to dedicated mid or high-top hiking boots, making it better suited for well-maintained trails rather than extreme, uneven backcountry terrain.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the shoe. Hand washing with a soft brush and mild soap is recommended.

Can I replace the footbed?

Yes, the EVA foam footbed is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or third-party insoles if needed.

How deep is the lug pattern?

The outsole features a 3mm lug depth, providing a balance between grip on trails and comfort on flat surfaces.

Are these suitable for winter hiking?

They provide water resistance, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. They are best for spring, summer, and autumn use.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a durable combination of mesh and suede overlays.

Do these come in other colors?

Yes, the Speed Arc Matis series is available in black, brown, and green variants.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or cause blisters

Ensure you are using the correct lacing tension. If the discomfort persists, consider swapping to a thinner sock to allow for more internal volume.

Waterproof performance seems to decrease

Over time, dirt can clog the pores of the membrane. Clean the exterior thoroughly and apply a dedicated DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray recommended for suede and mesh footwear.

Inner lining odor

While the Cleansport NXT helps, remove the footbeds and allow the shoes to fully ventilate in a cool, dry place after every use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on diverse terrain due to Vibram MegaGrip.
  • Superior waterproof protection without sacrificing breathability.
  • Lightweight design prevents premature foot fatigue.
  • Sustainable materials used in lining and footbed.
  • Durable suede and mesh exterior construction.

Cons

  • Low-cut design offers minimal ankle protection.
  • Not suitable for deep mud or extreme alpine expeditions.
  • Requires proper care to maintain waterproof membrane functionality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Merrell Speed Arc Matis lasts as long as possible, follow these guidelines:

Breaking In: While designed for immediate comfort, wear the shoes on short walks before attempting long-distance treks to allow the suede and mesh to adapt to your foot shape.

Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If the shoes become very muddy, hand wash them with cold water and a mild soap. Avoid using a washing machine, as this can damage the waterproof membrane.

Drying: Always air-dry your shoes at room temperature. Never place them near a radiator or heater, as excessive heat can cause the leather and adhesive components to warp or crack.

Footbed Care: The EVA foam footbed is removable. Take it out periodically to air it out and ensure the inside of the shoe remains dry and odor-free.
