FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic activities?
The Merrell Relay is designed as a casual, low-profile sneaker for everyday wear and light walking. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running or specialized sports.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Merrell Relay features a removable EVA footbed, making it compatible with most standard aftermarket orthotics. Simply take out the existing footbed and insert your custom orthotic.
How should I clean the leather parts of the shoe?
For the leather upper, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. After cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and textile materials, providing a blend of durability, style, and comfort.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The Merrell Relay includes a removable EVA footbed that offers cushioning and some support for everyday wear. For enhanced or specific arch support needs, consider using custom orthotics with the removable footbed.
What kind of outsole do these shoes have?
They feature a durable rubber outsole, designed to provide reliable traction and wear resistance for daily use on various surfaces.
Is this a waterproof shoe?
The Merrell Relay is not designed to be waterproof. While the leather and textile materials offer some resistance, they are not treated for water repellency or submersion.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If they feel slightly snug, try wearing them with thinner socks or consider removing the EVA footbed if it contributes to tightness. Allow a break-in period of a few wears.
Dirt or stains on the leather/textile upper
Gently clean with a soft brush and a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. For stubborn stains, consult a leather care specialist. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the footbed and the shoe interior. Ensure the footbed is properly seated and dry. If the noise persists, it might be a minor manufacturing anomaly and often resolves with continued wear.
