Merrell Jungle Moc - Midnight - 11.5 UK

No, the suede upper of the Merrell Jungle Moc is not inherently waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or standing water. You can apply a water and stain repellent spray designed for suede to provide some protection against light moisture.

For basic cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser can be used. Always let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The Merrell Jungle Moc is designed for light trails and casual walking, not for rugged or technical hiking. While they offer good traction and comfort, they lack the ankle support and heavy-duty construction needed for challenging terrain.

Generally, Merrell Jungle Mocs are considered to run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit for your UK size 11.5.

The double stretch gore refers to elastic panels on both sides of the shoe's opening. This feature allows for easy slipping on and off, while also providing a flexible and secure fit around your foot without the need for laces.

The 50 percent recycled EVA foam insole is integrated for optimal comfort and stability. While it may be possible to remove it, it is designed to work in conjunction with the Merrell Air Cushion heel for shock absorption and may not be easily replaceable with standard insoles.

Ensure you have the correct size. While the stretch gore provides flexibility, if the fit is consistently uncomfortable, verify your UK size 11.5 is accurate for your foot measurement. Try them with different sock thicknesses.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

While the Merrell sticky rubber outsole provides good traction, extreme wet or icy conditions can still pose a slip risk. Exercise caution in such environments. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris that might reduce grip.

Ensure the breathable mesh lining is kept clean. Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between wears. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles or shoe deodorizers. Washing your feet and changing socks regularly can also help prevent odor.
