FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The full grain leather upper provides good water resistance and protection against splashes, but the Merrell Intercept Walking Shoe is not fully waterproof. For complete waterproofing in heavy rain or deep puddles, additional waterproofing treatments for leather are recommended.
Can I use these for running?
While durable and comfortable for walking, these shoes are not specifically designed for running. Their structure, including the molded nylon arch shank and robust sole, is optimized for stability and support during walking and light hiking activities rather than the dynamic demands of running.
How do I clean the leather?
To clean the full grain leather, gently wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner. After cleaning, apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and moisture management, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool. Cotton socks tend to retain moisture, which can lead to discomfort and blisters.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Merrell sizing generally runs true to fit. However, foot size can vary, and it's always recommended to try them on or refer to Merrell's size guide if you are unsure, especially if you plan to wear thick socks.
What does Vibram TC5+ mean?
Vibram TC5+ refers to a specific rubber compound developed by Vibram, a leading manufacturer of high-performance rubber soles. It is engineered to provide an optimal balance of grip, durability, and flexibility, making it excellent for outdoor activities on varied surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the Vibram TC5+ sole is clean of mud or debris. While designed for excellent grip, extreme conditions like ice or very slick wet rock may still pose a challenge. Consider your stride and terrain.
Feet feel hot or sweaty after prolonged use
Although the shoe features a breathable mesh lining, the full grain leather upper offers less ventilation than full mesh shoes. Ensure you wear appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Allow shoes to fully air dry between uses.
Laces frequently come untied
Ensure you are tying the laces securely with a double knot. Over time, laces can wear; consider replacing them if they are old or frayed.
