Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell SpeedArc Matis shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short periods indoors or on light walks to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After use on muddy trails, brush off dried dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Use a damp cloth for deeper cleaning.
- Waterproof Maintenance: While the shoes are waterproof, applying a leather-specific conditioner periodically will keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out and damage the leather fibers.
- Drying: If the interior becomes soaked, remove the footbed and air dry naturally. Avoid using a dryer or heater as this may warp the shoe structure.
