FAQs

Is the Merrell Relay suitable for hiking?

No, these are classified as low-profile lifestyle shoes. They are designed for walking on paved surfaces, not for rocky or uneven trails.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the leather and adhesive components can be damaged by heat and agitation.

What material is used for the upper?

The Merrell Relay features a high-quality leather construction.

Are the footbeds removable?

Yes, the Relay features a removable EVA footbed for easy cleaning or replacement with custom inserts.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Merrell shoes generally follow standard sizing; however, since these are low-profile, ensure your socks have enough room for comfort.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels too tight after adding an orthotic insert.

Remove the factory-provided EVA footbed before inserting your custom orthotic to regain necessary internal volume.

Leather surface shows signs of water spotting.

Wipe with a slightly damp cloth, allow to air dry naturally, and apply a neutral leather conditioner once fully dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Merrell Relay shoes last, follow these care steps: Clean the leather surface regularly using a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the leather from cracking. If the EVA footbed becomes damp, remove it entirely to allow both the insole and the shoe interior to dry out completely. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
