Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell SpeedArc Matis hiking shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Break-in: Wear them indoors for short periods before long treks to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth after each hike to prevent mud and debris buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using cedar shoe trees can help maintain the shape and absorb residual moisture.
