The Merrell ANTORA 3 Hiking Shoes are engineered for versatile performance across various activities. On mountain trails, the Vibram TC5+ outsole provides reliable grip on loose dirt, rocks, and uneven surfaces, while the rock plate protects your feet from sharp debris.

The breathable mesh design helps manage moisture and temperature, keeping your feet comfortable in diverse climates.

Care Instructions:
Cleaning: After use, especially on muddy trails, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and warm water solution. Gently scrub the mesh and TPU upper with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage materials.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to shrink or crack. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store your hiking shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew growth.
Laces: If laces become worn, they can be easily replaced. The 100% recycled laces are durable but can fray over time with heavy use.
