Full details

It excels at providing reliable traction and long-lasting comfort during outdoor adventures, making it ideal for everything from hiking to casual daily wear.

FAQs
Are these suitable for long-distance hiking?
The Nova 4 is excellent for day hikes and mixed-terrain trails, though for multi-day expeditions with heavy packs, a higher-cut boot with more ankle support might be preferred.
How do I clean the brown material?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth, then let them air dry.
Is the shoe waterproof?
Yes, this model features a waterproof construction designed to keep your feet dry during wet weather and trail conditions.
Can I use these for road running?
While they are inspired by running performance, they are optimized for trails; the lugged outsole may wear down faster if used exclusively on concrete or asphalt.
Does this shoe run true to size?
Generally, Merrell footwear follows standard sizing, but if you intend to wear thick hiking socks, some users prefer to go up a half size.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on trails
Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris; clean the grooves with a stiff brush to restore grip.
Water entering the shoe
Ensure the laces are tied securely to seal the tongue area, and verify that the waterproof coating has not been compromised by excessive wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nova 4 shoes, begin by wearing them for short periods on paved ground to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Regarding compatibility, these shoes work best with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to maximize the effectiveness of the shoe's internal climate control. For care, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after every trip. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature; avoid placing them directly near heaters or radiators, as excessive heat can degrade the adhesives and waterproof membranes over time.
