Product Information

Full details

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 is designed for active hikers who want the reliable support of a classic Moab boot combined with the lightweight, athletic performance of a modern trail runner. It is perfect for those tackling varied terrain who need superior comfort and grip, though hikers requiring a high-ankle boot for heavy load-bearing support may find its low-cut profile less ideal for rugged, technical backpacking expeditions.

FAQs

Are the Moab Speed 2 shoes waterproof?

This specific model prioritizes breathability. While they can handle light moisture, they are not marketed as fully waterproof.

Can I use these for trail running?

Yes, they are inspired by trail running designs and offer enough flexibility and cushioning to handle light trail running sessions.

How do these compare to the original Moab boot?

The Speed 2 is much lighter, more breathable, and has a more modern, athletic fit compared to the traditional, heavier Moab hiking boot.

Do I need to break these in?

While they are comfortable out of the box, it is always recommended to walk them in for 5-10 miles to ensure the fit is perfect for your foot shape.

What type of terrain are these best for?

They are ideal for well-maintained trails, dirt paths, and rocky, moderate mountain terrain.

Troubleshooting

Feeling debris inside the shoe during a hike

Ensure the heel is fully seated in the heel counter and consider pairing with trail gaiters if hiking in loose gravel.

Slipping inside the shoe on steep descents

Use the 'runner's loop' lacing technique through the top eyelet to create a tighter lock around the ankle and prevent forward foot slide.

Outsole losing traction due to mud buildup

Tap the soles against a rock or use a stick to clear the mud from the lug pattern to restore the Vibram rubber's contact with the ground.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improved underfoot comfort with extra foam
  • Lightweight design reduces fatigue on long hikes
  • High-traction outsole performs well on varied terrain
  • Excellent breathability for hot-weather hiking

Cons

  • Low-cut design lacks ankle stability for heavy backpacking
  • Not intended for extreme winter conditions or deep water submersion
  • Lightweight materials may show wear faster than heavy-duty leather boots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Moab Speed 2 shoes, it is recommended to break them in on shorter, flat walks before tackling steep or technical terrain. Ensure the laces are tightened firmly through the top eyelet to utilize the secure heel counter effectively.

Care Instructions:

  1. After use, remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush.
  2. Clean the outsoles with a damp cloth to maintain traction properties.
  3. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
  4. Do not submerge the shoes in a washing machine.
