Product Information

Full details

The Merrell SpeedArc Matis is designed for the active adult hiker who demands a versatile shoe that performs as well on urban sidewalks as it does on rugged trails. Its standout benefit is the fusion of high-performance technical features, like a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane and a stable Vibram Mega Grip outsole, packaged in an athletic silhouette. While the shoe offers excellent support and protection, users should note that the specialized bungee lacing system may feel less customizable than traditional laces for those with very high-volume feet.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane designed to provide complete waterproof protection while remaining breathable.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the shoes come with removable EVA foam insoles that can be taken out for cleaning or replaced with custom orthotics.

What is the lug depth on the outsole?

The Vibram Mega Grip outsole features a 3 mm lug depth designed for versatile traction.

Do I need to tie these shoes?

No, they utilize a convenient bungee lacing system which replaces traditional shoelaces.

How do I prevent foot odor?

The shoes are treated with Cleansport Nxt, an integrated technology that actively manages and prevents odor.

Troubleshooting

Bungee lacing feels too loose or tight

Adjust the toggle tension and redistribute the lace pressure across the eyelets to find a comfortable balance.

Accumulation of dirt in outsole lugs

Use a stiff brush or a stick to clear debris from the 3 mm lugs to restore full grip performance.

Reduced breathability or waterproof performance

Clean the exterior mesh of dirt and salt deposits, which can clog the membrane pores and inhibit moisture vapor transport.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Merrell SpeedArc Matis, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Initial Fit: Ensure the bungee lacing is tightened evenly across the top of the foot to avoid pressure points.
  2. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt after hikes using a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh detergents that may damage the waterproof membrane.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the foam and glue.
  4. Insole Maintenance: If the removable EVA foam insole becomes saturated or muddy, remove it to air dry separately to maintain cushioning and hygiene.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the Gore-Tex membrane and adhesive bonding.
