FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® generally offers a standard fit. While some users find them accommodating, individuals with significantly wide feet may want to try them on or consider if Merrell offers a wide version.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX® membrane?

The GORE-TEX® membrane itself doesn't require special cleaning. Focus on cleaning the shoe's exterior and interior as recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the membrane or shoe materials.

Can I replace the footbed?

Yes, the EVA foam footbed is removable and can be replaced with a custom orthotic or a different type of aftermarket insole if desired.

What is the drop on these shoes?

The shoe has a 10mm drop, meaning there is a 10mm difference in height between the heel and the forefoot.

How durable are the synthetic toe and heel caps?

The protective, abrasion-resistant synthetic caps are designed to withstand regular trail use, offering protection against scuffs and impacts.

Will my feet stay warm in cold weather?

The GORE-TEX® membrane provides waterproofing and breathability, but these are not insulated boots. For very cold conditions, consider thicker wool socks. They are best suited for 3-season use.

Are these shoes good for running?

While they incorporate elements from trail running shoes for agility and breathability, they are primarily designed for hiking and walking. For dedicated trail running, a shoe with a lower profile and more specific running features might be preferable.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping into the shoe

Ensure the GORE-TEX® membrane is intact. Check that laces are tied securely and the bellows tongue is properly positioned. Minor leaks might be from seams or the upper material if heavily saturated; allow shoes to dry completely.

Reduced traction

Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole and lugs thoroughly with water to remove embedded mud, dirt, or debris. Check for excessive wear on the lug pattern.

Discomfort or hot spots

Adjust lacing for a more even pressure distribution. Ensure the socks being worn are suitable for hiking. If discomfort persists, consider the removable EVA footbed for an alternative fit or consult with a shoe fitting specialist.

Odors persist despite treatment

While Cleansport NXT™ helps control odor, prolonged use in wet conditions can still lead to smell. Remove insoles and air dry shoes completely after each use. Occasional washing of the insoles might help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability thanks to GORE-TEX®.
  • Superior traction on various surfaces with Vibram® TC5+ outsole.
  • Enhanced comfort with increased underfoot foam and FloatPro™ midsole.
  • Durable construction with protective toe and heel caps.
  • Lightweight yet stable design suitable for multiple outdoor activities.
  • Odor control feature for extended wear.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • The specific lug pattern might be less effective on extremely muddy, deep terrain compared to aggressive hiking boots.
  • As with any shoe, fit can be highly personal.
  • The rock plate, while protective, might be noticeable on very smooth, even surfaces for some wearers.
  • 10mm drop may not suit all foot strike preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug, comfortable fit. The bellows tongue helps keep debris out, so make sure it sits correctly against your foot.

Compatibility: Designed for trail hiking, light backpacking, and outdoor multi-sport activities. They are also noted for compatibility with golf courses. The dual heel and tongue loops can be used for easier on/off or potentially for attaching to gear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud from the exterior. For interior cleaning, remove the EVA foam footbed and clean with a damp cloth, allowing both to air dry completely.
  2. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane requires minimal maintenance. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents, as they can degrade the materials. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  3. Laces: Inspect laces periodically for wear and tear. Replace if frayed.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the materials.
