FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for hiking?
Yes, the Merrell Storm GTX Trainers are well-suited for hiking due to their rugged sole for grip and Gore-Tex upper for weather protection.
How do I clean the Gore-Tex material?
Gore-Tex can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Always air dry.
Can I replace the toggle lacing system?
While the toggle system is designed for durability, replacement parts or guidance may be available through Merrell customer support if it becomes damaged.
What is the primary benefit of the Gore-Tex upper?
The primary benefit is providing a waterproof yet breathable barrier, keeping your feet dry from external moisture while allowing perspiration to escape.
Are these trainers available in other colors?
The Merrell Storm GTX is available in various colorways, including Black and White, with specific material finishes like Suede also present in some variants.
What kind of fit can I expect?
These trainers are designed for an athletic fit, providing a secure feel with the toggle lacing system for adjustability across varied foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside
Ensure the Gore-Tex membrane is intact. Check that laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress. If the waterproofing has degraded, reapply a suitable treatment. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking.
Toggle lacing system is loose
Ensure the toggle is fully tightened. Check the elastic cord for damage. If the toggle mechanism is faulty, contact customer support.
Traction is reduced
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. For significantly worn outsoles, replacement may be necessary.
Difficulty removing trainers
Loosen the toggle lacing system completely. Utilize the heel loop for leverage. Ensure the interior is dry to prevent sticking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply ensure they are the correct size and adjust the toggle lacing for a secure, comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of activities including walking, hiking, and daily commuting. They are designed for adult use.
Care: To maintain the integrity of the Gore-Tex membrane and the shoe's performance:
- Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water to clean the exterior. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used.
- Drying: Never machine wash or tumble dry. Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Waterproofing: Periodically treat the footwear with a waterproofing spray suitable for Gore-Tex materials to maintain water repellency.
