Product Information
Full details
The Merrell SpeedArc Matis is an athletic, fast-hiking sneaker designed for adult women who need a versatile shoe capable of transitioning smoothly from city environments to rugged outdoor trails. It prioritizes high-performance propulsion and long-term comfort for all-day wear; however, users should note that as a dedicated fast-hiker, it may offer less ankle stability compared to traditional heavy-duty hiking boots.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell SpeedArc Matis is designed for breathability and speed; it is not inherently waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray if you plan to hike in damp conditions.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While they are athletic and agile, they are specifically engineered as hiking shoes. For long-distance running, we recommend a dedicated trail running shoe.
How do I find my size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. If you typically wear a specific size in Merrell footwear, we recommend sticking with that size.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Can these be washed in a washing machine?
We strongly recommend against machine washing, as it can damage the specialized adhesives and materials. Hand wash with a mild detergent and cloth instead.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness across the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks and consider using gaiters if hiking on very loose, dusty trails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell SpeedArc Matis, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the athletic fit is designed to be snug. Consult the size guide before purchase.
- Cleaning: After hiking in muddy conditions, allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Remove dried debris with a soft brush.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the breathable upper materials.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for embedded sharp rocks or glass that could damage the traction pattern.
