How do I clean my Merrell Intercept Walking Shoes?
For the full-grain leather upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Regular application of a leather conditioner is also recommended.
What kind of terrain are these shoes suitable for?

Do these shoes provide good arch support?
Yes, the Merrell Intercept Walking Shoes feature an Ortholite® Anatomical Footbed and a moulded nylon arch shank which are specifically designed to provide superior comfort and excellent arch support.
How do these shoes help with foot odor?
These shoes incorporate M-Select FRESH technology, which is a natural treatment that helps to prevent odors from forming, keeping your feet feeling fresher and more comfortable during and after wear.
Are they easy to put on and take off?
Yes, the shoes feature a convenient speed lacing closure for quick fastening and a large heel tab at the back, making them very easy to pull on and remove.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel uncomfortably warm or sweaty.
The shoes feature strategically placed perforations and breathable mesh sections. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks that wick moisture away from your feet. If used in very hot or humid conditions, consider airing them out more frequently after use.
Shoes are slipping on certain surfaces.
The Merrell Intercept uses a Vibram® outsole with a 4.5mm lug depth designed for varied terrain. While offering excellent grip, no shoe is slip-proof on all surfaces. Be mindful on extremely wet, icy, or oily surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of caked-on mud or debris that could reduce traction.
Shoes feel heavy or uncomfortable after long periods of wear.
The shoes are designed for comfort with an Ortholite® Anatomical Footbed and Merrell air cushion in the heel. Ensure your laces are properly adjusted – not too tight, not too loose. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe size or fit is correct for your foot type or if your activities exceed the shoe's intended use.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoes.
Your shoes feature M-Select FRESH technology to naturally prevent odors. However, airing out your shoes after each use is crucial. If odors persist, you can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside, letting it sit overnight before shaking it out.
Debris getting into the shoes.
The shoes are equipped with a bellows tongue specifically designed to keep debris out. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned and the speed lacing system is securely fastened, closing any gaps that might allow debris entry.
