FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

While they provide excellent grip and waterproof protection, they are not insulated. For extreme cold, you may need to pair them with thicker wool socks.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the adhesives and the waterproof membrane. Always clean them by hand.

How do I know if they are wide enough?

The fit is standard for adult hiking shoes. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space in the toe box to prevent toe pain during descents.

Does the Cleansport NXT wear off?

The odor-control treatment is durable, but like any anti-odor technology, its effectiveness can decrease over time depending on frequency of use and hygiene habits.

Are the laces replaceable?

Yes, you can replace the standard laces with any off-the-shelf hiking lace of the same length if they become frayed.

Can I use these for trail running?

While they offer great stability, they are categorized as hiking/low shoes. They are suitable for light trail jogging, but may be heavier than specialized trail runners.

Troubleshooting

Water penetrating the shoe

Ensure the exterior is clean. Dirt accumulation can trap moisture against the membrane. Apply a fresh coat of waterproof spray if the fabric stops beading water.

Foot discomfort or hot spots

Check the lacing tension and ensure the tongue is centered. If the issue persists, replace the stock insole with a custom orthotic if necessary.

Loss of traction

Check the outsole for lodged mud or small rocks within the 3mm lugs. Use a stiff brush to clear debris from the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Speed Arc Matis shoes, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush after every use. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Insole: The EVA foam footbed is removable. If it becomes saturated, remove it to accelerate the drying process of the shoe's interior.
