FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

These shoes offer good protection against the elements, but for severe winter conditions, consider boots with more insulation.

How do I clean the shoes?

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid washing machines and harsh chemicals.

What kind of socks should I wear?

Wear moisture-wicking socks to improve breathability and comfort.

What is the warranty?

Warranty details depend on the retailer and local consumer protection laws. Check with your place of purchase for specifics.

How long will the GORE-TEX membrane last?

With proper care, the GORE-TEX membrane can last for many years. However, its effectiveness may decrease over time with heavy use. Regular cleaning and care are essential.

Can I use these shoes for running?

While these shoes are designed for hiking and walking, they are not specifically designed for running. Consider a running shoe for that activity.

Are the shoes true to size?

Generally, Merrell shoes fit true to size, but it's always recommended to read customer reviews. If you are between sizes, consider going up a half size.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces or wearing thinner socks. If issues persist, consider a different size.

Water is entering the shoes.

Check if the laces are tied tightly. Inspect the shoe for any damage. Ensure the shoes are properly cleaned and maintained to preserve the GORE-TEX membrane's integrity.

The shoes smell after use.

Use the Cleansport NXT treatment to control the odor. Air them out after each use. Remove the footbed and let it dry separately.
