Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Men's Accentor Walking Shoe is designed for adult males seeking a durable and breathable footwear option for summer outings and general walking. Its key benefit lies in its waterproof GORE-TEX membrane and antimicrobial treatment, ensuring feet stay dry and fresh. A potential caveat is the 4.2mm lug depth, which may offer less aggressive traction on very technical terrain compared to dedicated hiking boots. This shoe features a suede and mesh upper, recycled materials, and a supportive EVA midsole for comfort and stability.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking in heavy rain?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproof protection, making them suitable for light to moderate rain and wet conditions. For very heavy or prolonged downpours on challenging terrain, a more robust hiking boot might be preferable.
How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid machine washing or excessive soaking, which can damage the suede and waterproof membrane.
What does the Aegis antimicrobial solution do?
The Aegis solution is applied to the shoe's lining to inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria, helping to keep your feet fresh during and after wear.
Are these shoes vegan-friendly?
Yes, the product description states that this shoe is vegan-friendly.
What is the lug depth on the outsole?
The Merrell sticky rubber outsole features a lug depth of 4.2mm.
How much do these shoes weigh?
The weight for a pair is approximately 880g.
What is the main advantage of the Merrell Air Cushion in the heel?
The Merrell Air Cushion in the heel is designed to absorb shock and enhance stability, contributing to overall comfort and reducing impact during walking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel damp inside despite no external water exposure.
This could indicate trapped moisture. Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is not compromised. Air the shoes thoroughly and consider using moisture-wicking socks.
Odour persists after wear.
While the Aegis treatment helps, persistent odour may require more intensive cleaning. Hand wash the insoles or replace them if necessary. Ensure shoes are dried completely between wears.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.
Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the lugs thoroughly. If the outsole is significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacement.
Discomfort or pressure points after wearing.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break in the shoes with shorter walks. If discomfort persists, consider alternative insoles for customized support.
