Day Hikes: Enjoy comfortable walking on well-maintained trails and forest paths.
Riverside Walks: The design handles splashes and damp conditions, though proper drying is essential afterward.
Casual Outdoor Wear: Perfect for summer strolls, backyard activities, or as a comfortable option after a more strenuous hike.

The strappy upper and hook-and-loop closure ensure that your foot remains secure, preventing unwanted slippage and rubbing, even during longer periods of activity. The technical Merrell branding isn't just for looks; it signifies a product designed with outdoor performance in mind, offering a blend of support and breathability that's crucial for warmer climates and active pursuits. Remember that while they offer protection, their open design means they are best suited for environments where full foot enclosure isn't strictly necessary.
Unpack: Remove sandals from packaging.

Cleaning: To clean your sandals, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub away dirt and debris. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage materials.
Drying: After cleaning or if sandals get wet, allow them to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause materials to crack or shrink.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew or odor.
Odor Management: If odors develop, a mixture of water and baking soda can be used for cleaning, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
