Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Speed Arc Matis shoes, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush after every use. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as excessive heat can degrade the adhesives and compromise the waterproof membrane.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to the suede overlays to prevent drying and cracking. If the waterproof performance diminishes, consider applying a dedicated DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically formulated for outdoor footwear.
- Insole: The EVA foam footbed is removable. If it becomes saturated, remove it to accelerate the drying process of the shoe's interior.
