Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 is a hybrid hiking shoe designed for adult female hikers who want the stability of a traditional trail boot combined with the agility of a modern athletic hiker. Its key benefit is the fusion of Merrell's classic hiking heritage with advanced trail-running technology, resulting in superior traction and increased underfoot cushioning. While it excels on varied terrain, those seeking heavy-duty ankle support for mountaineering might find its low-cut design less restrictive than desired.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Moab Speed 2 prioritizes breathability and moisture management. While it is not fully waterproof, the materials are designed to dry quickly after becoming wet.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, they are inspired by trail-running designs, making them suitable for fast-paced hiking and light trail running.
How should I clean the Vibram outsole?
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove mud and pebbles from the lug patterns, then rinse with water.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
How does the sizing compare to regular sneakers?
The Moab Speed 2 generally runs true to size, but since they are performance shoes, it is recommended to leave a little extra room in the toe box for swelling during long hikes.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Adjust your lacing pattern using the top eyelets to create a 'heel lock' to increase security around the ankle.
Feeling debris through the sole
Ensure the rock plate is not obstructed; if you feel pain, check the outsole for embedded rocks or thorns that may be compromising the structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Moab Speed 2 shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them on short walks around the house or on local paved paths before taking them on a demanding mountain hike.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place them directly on radiators or use high-heat dryers as this can damage the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the internal lining.
