FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Moab Speed 2 focuses on breathability; while they are resilient, they are not inherently waterproof.
Are these suitable for trail running?
Yes, they incorporate design elements from Merrell's trail running series and are very capable for fast-paced hiking or trail running.
How should I clean the Vibram outsole?
Use a soft brush and warm water to scrub out mud or debris stuck in the traction lugs.
Is the rock plate removable?
No, the full-length rock plate is built into the midsole for permanent protection.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, the standard insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for your preferred orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure the laces are tightened properly around the ankle to utilize the heel counter, and verify you are wearing the correct size.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic or wool hiking socks rather than cotton, which holds moisture against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Moab Speed 2 hiking shoes, consider these care guidelines: Always remove excess dirt after every hike by using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the foam and glue. Because these are a synthetic-heavy athletic build, avoid machine washing, which can compromise the structural integrity of the heel counter. For the best fit, ensure you wear the same weight of socks you intend to use on your hike during your initial try-on.
