FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX® waterproofing is excellent for wet conditions, but these boots are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. They are best suited for moderate winter conditions or as a waterproof option with warm socks.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or Merrell. It's recommended to try them on with your usual hiking socks. The UK 12.5 size is specified for this model.
Can these boots be used for running?
These are hiking boots designed for stability and support on trails. While they offer good traction, they are not designed for the flexibility and cushioning required for running.
How often should I re-waterproof the boots?
Re-waterproofing is generally not necessary for the GORE-TEX® membrane itself, as it is inherently waterproof. However, if the outer material starts to absorb water, a suitable GORE-TEX® approved waterproofing spray can be applied to the upper.
What is the weight of these boots?
The weight is approximately 840g for a pair, as indicated in the product specifications.
Do these boots come in other colors?
Yes, the Accentor Sport 3 Mid GORE-TEX® model is available in other colors such as Black and Grey/Pink, along with different sizes and gender-specific options.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproofing
Ensure the boot's internal lining is completely dry before wearing. Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. Make sure laces are tied securely but not so tight they compromise comfort or circulation.
Slipping on certain surfaces
While the rubber sole offers good grip, extreme conditions like ice or very slick mud may still pose a challenge. Ensure the sole is clean of debris which can affect traction. For icy conditions, consider microspikes.
Discomfort or rubbing
Break in the boots with shorter walks. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust lacing to find a secure yet comfortable fit, avoiding pressure points.

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe away dirt and mud with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and wipe clean. Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but avoiding harsh chemicals will prolong its effectiveness. Periodically, consider using a specialized waterproofing spray suitable for GORE-TEX® footwear to maintain water repellency.
