Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell SpeedArc Matis shoes last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Break-in: Wear them around the house or on short walks for the first few days to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After use on muddy trails, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt. For deep stains, wipe the suede with a slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Waterproofing: While the shoes have a built-in bootie, applying a leather-safe water repellent spray to the exterior can help prevent the suede from becoming waterlogged.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping them in the trunk of a car, as extreme heat can compromise the adhesive used in the construction.
