FAQs
Are the Merrell Hydro Mocs suitable for hiking?
The Hydro Mocs are best suited for casual wear and light outdoor activities. They do not provide the extensive support or protection needed for strenuous or technical hiking.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Merrell sizing chart for accurate measurements. The Hydro Moc generally runs true to size, but personal preference for fit (snug vs. loose) can influence choice.
Can I wear these with socks?
While designed to be worn barefoot, some individuals may choose to wear thin socks. However, the intended fit and comfort are optimized for sockless wear.
What is the benefit of BLOOM™ algae foam?
BLOOM™ algae foam is an eco-friendly material that helps clean waterways during its harvesting process. It contributes to a lighter environmental footprint for the product while providing comfortable cushioning.
Are these waterproof?
The Hydro Mocs are water-friendly and quick-drying, making them suitable for wet conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof as they feature open design elements.
How durable are the Merrell Hydro Mocs?
They are constructed with durable proprietary foam and a robust sole designed for longevity in casual use and light activity. Regular care will help maintain their durability.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
Wear the Hydro Mocs for short periods initially to allow the foam to mold to your feet. Walking around indoors can help speed up the break-in process.
Slipping sensation, especially when wet
Ensure the inside of the shoe and your feet are dry. While water-friendly, excessive water can reduce traction. Consider the surface you are on; some polished or very wet surfaces may inherently be slippery.
Debris getting stuck in the molded openings
Periodically rinse the shoes under running water. A gentle shake can dislodge loose debris. For more stubborn debris, a soft brush can be used carefully.
Unusual odor developing
Clean the shoes thoroughly with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before storing or wearing. Adding baking soda inside overnight can help neutralize odors.
