FAQs
Are the Merrell SpeedArc Matis shoes waterproof?
These shoes are designed for breathability and light trail use, but they do not feature a waterproof membrane.
Can I use these for daily wear?
Yes, their design is specifically intended to transition between street and trail environments comfortably.
How do I ensure the right fit?
We recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are naturally at their largest and comparing with our standard UK size chart.
Are these suitable for long-distance backpacking?
They are ideal for fast hiking and light packs; however, if you are carrying a very heavy expedition pack, a stiffer boot may offer more support.
How often should I clean the outsoles?
Clean them whenever you notice significant buildup of mud or debris to maintain optimal traction and prevent wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long hike.
Feet naturally swell during activity; try loosening the laces or wearing thinner, moisture-wicking synthetic socks.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces.
Inspect the outsoles for lodged debris or mud; clean the tread thoroughly to ensure full ground contact.
Dirt buildup on the mesh upper.
Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off gently with a soft-bristled brush to avoid pushing grit into the fabric fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell SpeedArc Matis shoes remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines. Upon purchase, ensure you wear them around the house for a few hours to verify the fit, especially since sizing is precise. If the shoes become dirty from trail use, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or heavy soaking to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and materials. Always allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material cracking.
