FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all seasons?
Yes, the GORE-TEX® membrane provides waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for various weather conditions throughout the year.
How do I best clean these hiking shoes?
Remove loose dirt with a brush. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry naturally away from heat sources. Avoid machine washing.
What does 'Redux Storm' signify?
'Redux' indicates a revival or reimagining of a classic design, while 'Storm' refers to the enhanced weather-proofing features, particularly the GORE-TEX® membrane.
Can I use these shoes for general walking, not just hiking?
Absolutely. Their comfortable fit and supportive design make them suitable for everyday wear and casual walking, in addition to hiking.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to Merrell's sizing guide and consider trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and a secure heel fit.
What is the benefit of the GORE-TEX® membrane?
The GORE-TEX® membrane is designed to keep your feet dry by preventing water from entering the shoe while allowing perspiration vapor to escape, enhancing comfort in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure the shoe's GORE-TEX® membrane is intact and not compromised. Check that laces are tied correctly to prevent water ingress from the top. Excessive sweat can also contribute to dampness; ensure appropriate socks are worn.
Traction is reduced on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that may be obstructing the tread pattern. Inspect the sole for excessive wear; if worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure the correct size and width have been selected. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before embarking on long hikes. Check sock thickness and integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hiking shoes require no specific setup; they are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure you have chosen the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to break them in.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for unisex adult use and are compatible with standard hiking socks. They are suitable for a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, trekking, and general outdoor recreation.
Care: To maintain the GORE-TEX® and overall integrity of the shoes:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with cool water and a mild soap. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Treatment: Periodically, especially after thorough cleaning, consider reapplying a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for GORE-TEX® footwear to maintain water repellency.
