FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

While the suede upper provides some natural resistance, it is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the suede. We recommend treating the suede with a water-repellent spray designed for suede if you anticipate wet conditions.

What is M-Select FRESH technology?

M-Select FRESH is a treatment applied to the textile lining of the shoe that naturally eliminates odors caused by microbes, helping to keep your feet and footwear fresh.

Can I use these for hiking?

These shoes are designed for light outdoor activities and everyday casual wear, not strenuous hiking. For more demanding trails, Merrell offers other footwear with enhanced ankle support, waterproofing, and more aggressive outsoles better suited for varied terrains.

How do I know if the UK Size 8 is the right fit for me?

Merrell shoes generally run true to size, but fit can vary. We recommend consulting Merrell's official sizing chart if available. Info needed: [Provide specific sizing guidance or link to Merrell's general sizing chart here.] It's always best to try them on to ensure comfort and proper fit, especially since this is a slip-on style without adjustable laces.

What is the M-Select GRIP outsole?

The M-Select GRIP outsole is a proprietary Merrell technology designed to provide durable, highly slip-resistant traction on both wet and dry surfaces, ensuring stability and confidence with every step.

Can I replace the insole?

The shoes come with a comfort cushioned insole. While it's possible to replace it, the slip-on design means adding a thicker aftermarket insole might alter the fit and comfort. If you need orthotic support, consult a footwear specialist.

Troubleshooting

My shoes are starting to smell unpleasant.

Although M-Select FRESH technology is integrated, consistent wear can still lead to some odor. Air out your shoes in a well-ventilated area after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight to absorb odors. Ensure your socks are clean and breathable.

The suede upper looks dirty or scuffed.

For light dirt or scuffs, use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water or harsh detergents, as these can damage the suede.

The grip on the outsole seems reduced.

Inspect the M-Select GRIP outsole for any embedded dirt, mud, or small stones. Clean the tread thoroughly with a brush and warm, soapy water. Ensure the outsole is completely dry before wearing again. Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal traction.

The shoes feel less comfortable after extended wear.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks that offer cushioning and moisture-wicking properties. While the moulded EVA footframe and air-cushioned heel provide excellent support, everyone's feet are different. If discomfort persists, consider adding a thin, supportive insole (though this may alter the fit due to the slip-on design).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy on-and-off wear due to slip-on design and elastic panels.
  • Excellent all-day comfort and support from EVA footframe and air-cushioned heel.
  • Effective odor control with M-Select FRESH technology.
  • Durable M-Select GRIP outsole provides reliable traction.
  • Stylish and versatile with premium suede leather upper.

Cons

  • Suede material requires specific care and cleaning to maintain appearance.
  • Slip-on design offers a fixed fit, without the adjustability of laces.
  • May not be suitable for highly strenuous activities requiring ankle support.
  • Limited breathability compared to mesh-specific footwear in very hot climates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply slip your feet into the Merrell Jungle Moc. The side elastic panels are designed to expand and contract, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit without the need for laces.

Compatibility

These shoes are versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, and shorts. They are ideal for daily wear, light outdoor activities, and travel. They are not designed for heavy-duty hiking or intense athletic performance where more structured support or specific sole patterns are required.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Jungle Mocs:

  1. Cleaning the Suede Upper: Use a soft brush or suede cleaner specifically designed for suede materials. Avoid using water directly, as it can stain suede. Gently brush away dirt or use a suede eraser for scuffs.
  2. Cleaning the Outsole: For the M-Select GRIP outsole, use a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and debris, especially after outdoor use. This maintains the traction capabilities.
  3. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry them away from direct heat sources.
  4. Odor Control: While M-Select FRESH helps, occasionally airing out your shoes in a well-ventilated area can further maintain freshness.
  5. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
