FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The Hydro Next Gen Moc 1TRL is designed for casual wear, water activities, and light trails. While they offer cushioning and some grip, they may not provide sufficient support or aggressive traction for strenuous or technical hiking terrain compared to dedicated hiking boots.
How do I clean the Hydro Next Gen Moc 1TRL?
Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or brush. Rinse with clean water and air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What does 'FloatMax™ Foam' mean?
FloatMax™ Foam is Merrell's proprietary midsole technology designed to provide maximum cushioning and a soft feel underfoot, enhancing comfort for prolonged wear.
Can I wear these with socks?
While designed to be worn barefoot for comfort and water-friendliness, you can wear them with thin, quick-drying socks if preferred, though this may affect the barefoot feel.
Are they true to size?
Based on user feedback and design, they are generally considered true to size. However, due to the flexible nature of the EVA, a snugger fit can adapt. It's recommended to consult the sizing chart and consider your preferred fit.
What is the 'Merrell 1TRL' designation?
Merrell 1TRL (Trail Lab) signifies innovative designs and products that push the boundaries of outdoor footwear, often blending performance with contemporary style.
How does the hand-free entry work?
The shoe is designed with an improved heel shape and a flexible collar that allows you to easily slip your foot in and out without bending down or using your hands.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight or stiff initially
This is normal for new EVA foam. Wear them for short periods, and the material will begin to conform to your foot's shape, offering a more flexible and comfortable fit over time.
Slipping sensation on very wet surfaces
While water-friendly, the outsole provides moderate grip. Exercise caution on extremely slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris, which can reduce traction.
Difficulty removing debris from sole grooves
Use a soft brush or a blunt object, like a toothpick, to carefully dislodge any trapped dirt or small stones from the sole's grooves.
