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.
