Product Information
Full details
The Merrell NOVA 10 Hiking Shoes in Red, UK size 10, are designed for adult males seeking a blend of running comfort and trail performance. They offer a secure fit and reliable grip for various outdoor terrains. A potential consideration is that while versatile, they are optimized for trail running and may not offer the same level of ankle support as dedicated hiking boots for extremely rugged or technical ascents.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell NOVA 10 Hiking Shoes feature a breathable engineered mesh and TPU upper, which prioritizes ventilation over waterproofing. They are not designed to be waterproof.
What is the primary intended use for these shoes?
These shoes are designed to blend running comfort with trail performance, making them suitable for trail running, day hiking, and general outdoor activities where good grip and cushioning are needed.
How do I clean the FloatPro Foam midsole?
The midsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Can I replace the footbed?
Yes, the 50% recycled EVA foam footbed is removable, allowing you to replace it with your own custom orthotics or a different type of insole if desired.
What does 'FLEXconnect dual-directional flex-grooves' mean?
These are grooves built into the midsole that allow the shoe to bend naturally in two directions (forward and sideways), improving ground feel and allowing your foot to move more naturally on varied terrain.
What is Merrell Quantum Grip™?
Merrell Quantum Grip™ is a durable rubber compound used for the outsole, specifically engineered to provide confident traction and stability across a wide range of trail conditions.
What is the advantage of the recycled materials used?
Using recycled materials in the laces, footbed cover, and footbed contributes to reducing environmental impact and waste without compromising the performance or durability of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the 100% recycled laces. For a tighter fit, use a standard lacing technique. For a looser fit, ensure laces are not overtightened. If the overall fit is incorrect, check if this is the correct size and consider other Merrell models if necessary.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the Merrell Quantum Grip™ outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. Wet conditions can naturally reduce traction; exercise caution and maintain a stable stride.
Feet feel warm or sweaty.
The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. If the issue persists, consider the ambient temperature and the intensity of your activity.
Cushioning feels inadequate.
The 50% recycled EVA foam footbed provides cushioning. If more is needed, consider using a thicker aftermarket insole or a cushioned sock.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first outing. Adjust the 100% recycled laces for a personalized fit.

Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth. For the outsole, use a stiff brush to remove caked-on mud. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Laces: Clean laces separately if needed, following their specific care instructions. Ensure they are fully dry before re-lacing.
- Midsole and Outsole: Regularly check for debris or wear. Clean with a damp cloth.
