Using your Merrell Moab Adventure 3 hiking shoes is a breeze. Just lace them up and you're ready to hit the trails or walk around the city. When you're wearing them, make sure the laces are tightened to a comfortable level to support your feet. As for maintenance, after each use, clean off any dirt or mud with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Let them dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. The removable footbed can be taken out and washed separately for better hygiene. If you notice any loose parts or excessive wear, it's a good idea to have them checked by a professional. Also, store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep them in good condition.
