Using these Merrell women's hiking shoes is a breeze. Just lace them up and you're ready to hit the trails. Whether it's a short day - hike or a long - distance trek, these shoes will support you. When you're out hiking, remember that although they're waterproof, avoid submerging them in water for extended periods. Also, be careful not to scrape the toe cap too hard on sharp rocks as it might damage the protective layer.
For maintenance, after each hike, remove the footbed and let the shoes air - dry. Use a soft brush to clean the dirt off the mesh and outsole. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb the moisture and speed up the drying process. Keep them in a cool, dry place when not in use. With proper care, these shoes will serve you well on many adventures.
