The Merrell Siren 4 GTX Shoe is built for dynamic performance on challenging trails. Its GORE-TEX membrane ensures your feet remain dry during unexpected rain showers or when traversing wet terrain, while simultaneously allowing moisture vapor to escape, preventing sweat buildup. The FloatPro™ Foam midsole provides cushioning that absorbs impact, making long hikes feel less taxing and reducing foot fatigue.
On uneven or slippery surfaces, the Vibram® TC5+ outsole with its specialized traction lugs truly shines, offering reliable grip and stability. You can confidently navigate rocky paths, loose gravel, and muddy trails as the lugs are designed to shed debris, maintaining consistent contact with the ground. The integrated rock plate protects your foot from sharp objects underfoot, enhancing safety on rugged terrain. The bellows tongue is a practical feature that keeps small stones and twigs from entering the shoe, a common annoyance on trails. Furthermore, the NXT treatment ensures that even after strenuous hikes, your shoes remain fresh by inhibiting odor-causing bacteria.
Setup:
Sizing: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. Merrell Siren 4 GTX shoes are designed to cradle the unique contours of women's feet.
First Use: Before your first long hike, wear the shoes around your home or on short walks to break them in and confirm the fit.
Lacing: Utilize the 100% recycled laces to secure your foot snugly without overtightening, allowing for natural foot flexion.
Compatibility:
These shoes are specifically designed for women's feet.
Ideal for outdoor multi-sport activities, particularly hiking on varied terrains including wet, dry, rocky, and muddy conditions.
Suitable for day hikes and multi-day treks where waterproof performance and comfort are crucial.
Care:
Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn mud, use mild soap and lukewarm water. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as extreme heat can damage materials, especially the GORE-TEX membrane and adhesive.
Odor Prevention: The NXT treatment helps prevent odor. For additional freshness, remove the removable PU footbed and air it out after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
GORE-TEX Maintenance: Periodically reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment suitable for footwear if you notice water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the DWR product's instructions.
