FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® generally offers a standard fit. If you have wider feet, it's recommended to try them on in person or check for available wide sizing options if offered by the retailer.

How long does the GORE-TEX® waterproofing last?

The GORE-TEX® membrane is designed for durability and long-lasting waterproofing. Proper care and cleaning will help maintain its effectiveness over the lifespan of the shoe.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

It is not recommended to machine wash the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX®. Hand washing with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, is the best method for cleaning.

What is the main difference between this and the original Moab boot?

The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® incorporates innovations from athletic trail runners for a lighter, more breathable, and cushioned feel, while retaining the rugged durability and comfort legacy of the original Moab boot. It features a higher percentage of foam underfoot and a redesigned Vibram® outsole.

Are these shoes good for backpacking?

Yes, the enhanced cushioning, secure fit, and protective rock plate make them a suitable option for day hikes and moderate backpacking trips where comfort and support are essential.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

Merino wool or synthetic blend hiking socks are recommended. These materials help wick away moisture and provide cushioning, complementing the shoe's features.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®

Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the shoe's exterior that might compromise the membrane. If the interior lining is wet, it may be from sweat; ensure adequate ventilation during strenuous activity.

Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces

Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole of any mud, dirt, or debris that may be lodged in the lugs. Check the wear patterns on the sole; significant wear may indicate the need for replacement.

Discomfort or hot spots after initial wear

Allow for a break-in period of a few short hikes to let the shoe mold to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability thanks to GORE-TEX® technology.
  • Superior traction on various surfaces due to the Vibram® TC5+ outsole.
  • Noticeably more comfortable with increased underfoot foam for extended wear.
  • Durable construction suitable for demanding trails.
  • Versatile enough for hiking and even activities like golf.

Cons

  • May require a short break-in period for maximum comfort.
  • The aggressive tread pattern might feel slightly stiff on paved surfaces.
  • While breathable, intense activity in very hot weather could still lead to warm feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first outing.

Compatibility: Designed for hiking and trail activities. Compatible with most standard hiking socks. Also suitable for casual wear and activities like golf.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but to maintain optimal performance, avoid using wax-based water repellents. Clean regularly to prevent buildup that can affect breathability.
