FAQ

Are these shoes true to size?

The Merrell J038027 generally runs true to size, but we recommend consulting the size chart as fit can vary slightly between different foot shapes. The elastic lacing system provides some flexibility in fit adjustment.

How waterproof are these hiking shoes?

While the leather and mesh upper provides some water resistance, these are not fully waterproof shoes. They offer good protection against light moisture but are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions rather than heavy rain or water crossings.

What type of hiking are these shoes suitable for?

These shoes are ideal for day hiking, light trail walking, and casual outdoor activities. They provide adequate support and traction for well-maintained trails and moderate terrain, making them perfect for most recreational hiking scenarios.

How do I clean and maintain these shoes?

Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. The leather and mesh materials respond well to gentle cleaning methods, preserving the shoe’s appearance and functionality over time.

What makes the elastic lacing system beneficial?

The 100% recycled elastic lacing provides consistent tension and eliminates the need for frequent adjustments. It creates a secure fit while allowing for natural foot expansion during activity, enhancing comfort throughout your hike or walk.
