Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Moab Speed 2 is designed for high breathability and does not feature a waterproof membrane.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, because the Moab Speed 2 incorporates design principles from Merrell's trail running lineup, they are suitable for fast-paced hiking and trail running.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe, with a snug fit around the heel.
What is the benefit of the rock plate?
The full-length rock plate prevents sharp rocks or roots from poking through the sole and causing foot discomfort.
How often should I replace my hiking shoes?
Generally, hiking shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, or sooner if the tread has worn down or the cushioning feels collapsed.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash your shoes. Washing machines can be too aggressive and may damage the structural integrity and adhesives of the footwear.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to better secure the heel counter against your foot.
Accumulated debris inside the shoe
Use a lightweight gaiter to seal the gap between your sock and the collar of the shoe.
Outsole losing traction
Check if the lug grooves are clogged with dried mud or stones; clear them out to restore the full grip potential of the Vibram rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Moab Speed 2 shoes last as long as possible, remove excess mud and debris after every hike using a soft brush. If they become heavily soiled, wash them by hand using mild soap and lukewarm water, then air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the foam and adhesives. For the best performance, pair these shoes with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to maximize the effectiveness of the shoe's breathable mesh design. Replace your laces if they become frayed to ensure a consistent, secure fit across the midfoot.
