FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Merrell Nova 4 Traveller trainers feature a suede leather upper and breathable mesh lining, which are not inherently waterproof. For waterproof options, Merrell offers specific 'Waterproof' models in the Nova series.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended, followed by air drying and brushing to restore the nap. Avoid soaking the shoes.
What is the main benefit of the FloatPro Foam midsole?
The FloatPro Foam midsole is designed to provide lightweight cushioning that lasts, offering comfort for extended periods of wear on various terrains.
Can I use these for serious hiking?
These trainers are best suited for light trails and walking. For rugged, technical, or multi-day hikes, consider Merrell's dedicated hiking boot or shoe lines.
What kind of grip does the outsole provide?
The Merrell Quantum Grip outsole is a durable rubber compound engineered to provide confident traction on extreme trail environments, offering stability on diverse surfaces.
What is the purpose of the breathable mesh lining?
The breathable mesh lining helps to promote airflow within the shoe, keeping your feet cooler and more comfortable during activity.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Utilize the traditional lace closure to adjust the tightness according to your preference. Ensure the shoe fits snugly without being too restrictive, especially around the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
The Quantum Grip outsole is optimized for dry and mixed terrain. For significantly wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray on the suede upper and ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris.
Feet feel warm during long walks.
Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. The breathable mesh lining offers good ventilation, but heavy-duty socks can impede airflow.
Laces come undone frequently.
Double-knot the laces. If the lace material is particularly smooth, consider replacing them with a textured alternative that holds knots better.
Suede appears discolored after cleaning.
Ensure you are using cleaning products specifically designed for suede and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow the shoes to dry naturally and brush to restore nap.
