FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Merrell Nova 4 Hiking Shoes are designed with breathable mesh, which prioritizes ventilation over waterproofing. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not fully waterproof.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the Nova 4 features a 50% recycled EVA foam removable footbed, allowing you to replace it with your preferred insoles or orthotics if needed.

What is the primary advantage of the FLEXconnect grooves?

The FLEXconnect dual-directional flex-grooves enhance ground connection, allowing for more natural foot movement and improved agility on varied terrain.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Ensure they are fully air-dried away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running as well as hiking?

Yes, the Nova 4 is designed to blend running comfort with trail performance, making them suitable for both hiking and light trail running.

What does 'Quantum Grip' refer to on the outsole?

Quantum Grip is Merrell's proprietary durable rubber compound used for the outsole, engineered to provide confident traction in various trail conditions.

Do these shoes contain recycled materials?

Yes, the Nova 4 features components such as 100% recycled laces, a 50% recycled mesh footbed cover, and a 50% recycled EVA foam removable footbed.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the laces. For a tighter fit, ensure the lacing is snug from the forefoot to the ankle. For a looser fit, ease the lacing. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if specific socks would improve the fit.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While the Quantum Grip outsole offers excellent traction, extremely slick surfaces can challenge any footwear. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. Consider that the shoes are designed for trails and may have limitations on polished or icy surfaces.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure the laces are properly adjusted and not too tight. Check if the removable footbed is correctly positioned. If discomfort continues, consider if the shoe size is appropriate or if alternative insoles are needed for your foot type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Merrell Nova 4 Hiking Shoes come ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size before purchase. The laces can be adjusted for a secure and personalized fit.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for men and are suitable for adult use. They are best suited for hiking, trail running, and general outdoor activities. They are compatible with most standard sock types.

Care:
