FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature a fully integrated waterproof bootie system designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions.

Can I wear these for casual daily use?

Absolutely. The SpeedArc Matis is engineered to look and perform well on city streets and hiking trails alike.

How do I determine my size?

The series is available in various UK sizes. Always measure your foot at the end of the day when it is slightly swollen for the most accurate fit.

Should I use a leather polish?

While not strictly necessary for performance, a clear leather conditioner is recommended to keep the material supple.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the stock insoles can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if preferred.

Troubleshooting

Waterproofing seems less effective after heavy use

Apply a specialized waterproof spray designed for leather to restore the water-repellent coating.

Material feels too stiff during first few wears

Wear thicker wool hiking socks and flex the forefoot manually for a few minutes before putting them on.

Accumulation of dirt in the tread

Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the lugs after each hike to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Merrell SpeedArc Matis remains in top condition, follow these guidelines: 1. Break them in by wearing them on short walks before long hikes. 2. Regularly wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove grit and mud. 3. Avoid drying the shoes near direct heat sources, as this can crack the leather. 4. Use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to maintain flexibility and waterproofing performance. The shoes are compatible with standard hiking insoles if additional arch support is required.
