FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for summer hiking?

Yes, but because they feature a waterproof bootie, they may run warmer than non-waterproof models in extreme heat.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the waterproof membrane. Always hand clean with a soft brush.

What surfaces are these best suited for?

They are designed for light-to-moderate trails, gravel paths, and paved urban environments.

How do I ensure I have the right fit?

There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing.

Does the shoe provide arch support?

The SpeedArc Matis is designed with a stable midsole that offers moderate support, suitable for most foot types.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after a long hike

Feet naturally swell during activity; try loosening the laces mid-hike to accommodate the increased volume.

Exterior suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede-specific brush to gently lift the nap and remove dust; avoid soaking the leather in water.

Water appears to be soaking in

Ensure the DWR coating is active by testing if water beads on the surface; if not, reapply a standard outdoor footwear DWR treatment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for both urban and trail environments
  • Effective waterproof protection
  • Durable material combination of suede and ripstop
  • Balanced support for long-distance stability

Cons

  • Waterproof membrane may reduce breathability in hot weather
  • Suede requires specific care to maintain appearance
  • Not intended for extreme technical mountain climbing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Merrell SpeedArc Matis shoes last, proper maintenance is essential. As these shoes feature suede overlays, it is recommended to use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud after each hike. If the material becomes saturated, let the shoes air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, which can damage the waterproof membrane. When fitting, ensure you are wearing the type of socks you plan to hike in to account for proper volume. For water resistance maintenance, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically formulated for suede and synthetic hiking footwear once the initial finish wears off.
