FAQs
Is the Merrell Relay Fly Vent waterproof?
No, these trainers are designed for casual, dry-weather urban wear and do not feature a waterproof membrane.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are lifestyle trainers intended for casual walking and daily use, not for high-intensity athletic running or specialized sports.
How should I clean the textile parts of the shoe?
Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dampened with mild soapy water to gently scrub the textile areas, then let them air dry completely.
Does this shoe come in different widths?
The Relay Fly Vent is built on a standard fit last; if you have particularly wide or narrow feet, you may find that the leather-and-textile upper offers a forgiving, flexible fit.
Can I replace the original insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for your own custom orthotics if required.
Is the leather used natural or synthetic?
The product features genuine leather components combined with textile materials to achieve the desired balance of durability and style.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape and smooth out minor creases.
Difficulty keeping clean
Apply a water-and-stain repellent spray suitable for mixed leather and textile materials to protect the surface.
Tight fit around the instep
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before entry; since the shoe uses a low-profile design, adjust the lacing pressure to redistribute tension across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Relay Fly Vent is a ready-to-wear sneaker, no special setup is required. Ensure you verify your UK sizing, as the fit is standard for adult trainers. To maintain the life of your footwear, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after use. For the leather components, use a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner periodically to prevent cracking or drying. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes, as this can degrade the bonding agents and damage the leather finish. If they become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
