FAQs
Are these suitable for hiking?
The Merrell Hydro Moc is best suited for light trails and recovery after hikes. They lack the robust support and protection needed for technical or long-distance hiking.
Can I wear these with socks?
While designed to be worn barefoot for quick drying and comfort, they can be worn with thin, moisture-wicking socks if preferred, though this may impact their quick-drying capabilities.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the Merrell sizing chart for accurate measurements. Given their slip-on nature, a snug but not tight fit is recommended.
Are they waterproof?
The Hydro Moc is water-friendly and dries quickly, but it is not a waterproof shoe. Water will enter the shoe when submerged.
What is the main advantage of the EVA foam construction?
The EVA foam provides a lightweight, cushioned feel and allows the shoe to be molded for a comfortable, water-resistant fit that dries fast.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Hydro Moc as it can damage the materials. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
The Hydro Moc has a fixed fit. For a snugger feel, ensure your foot is centered. If too loose, consider a size down if available. If too tight, they may not be the ideal fit for your foot shape.
Slight odor after use
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use a mild disinfectant spray or wipe the interior with a diluted vinegar solution, then rinse and air dry.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. While the rubber offers grip, extremely slippery surfaces may still pose a risk. Dry the outsole and shoes thoroughly after immersion.
