FAQs
What type of activities are these trainers best suited for?
The Merrell Relay Fly Vent Trainers are ideal for everyday casual wear, walking, and light activities where comfort and style are prioritized. They are not designed for high-impact sports or running.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not specified as waterproof. They are made with leather and textile materials which may offer some resistance to light moisture, but are not intended for use in wet conditions.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the trainers come with a removable EVA foam footbed that can be taken out. You can replace it with your own custom orthotics or a new insole if desired.
How do I clean the leather and textile upper?
For the upper, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What is the fit like?
These trainers have a low-profile design and a lace-up fastening, allowing for an adjustable fit. They are generally considered to offer a comfortable fit for everyday wear.
Do these trainers come in other colors or sizes?
The Merrell Relay Fly Vent Trainers are available in various sizes and potentially other colors. Please refer to the product listing or available options for specific variants.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags which can trap moisture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try them on again. If still tight, check if the footbed is sitting correctly or consider if a larger size is needed for extended wear.
Discomfort during initial wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit without being too restrictive.
Slight discoloration on leather
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. If the discoloration persists, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow with a leather conditioner.
Outer sole shows signs of wear
Inspect the sole for significant damage. Minor wear is normal. For excessive wear, professional shoe repair or replacement may be considered, though this is typically a long-term issue.

Care:
