Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX - Hiking Shoes - Yellow - Size: 2

While the GORE-TEX® provides waterproofing, these shoes are not insulated for extreme cold. They are best suited for three-season hiking in wet or cool conditions. For deep snow or sub-zero temperatures, insulated winter boots are recommended.

The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® is designed for immediate comfort due to its lightweight construction and cushioning. Most users find them comfortable out of the box, but a short break-in period of a few miles is recommended to fully mold to your feet.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproofing membrane. Hand-wash using a soft brush and damp cloth as described in the care instructions.

The Moab Speed 2 features a 30% increase in underfoot foam cushioning for enhanced comfort, improved breathability inspired by trail running shoes, and an updated Vibram® TC5+ outsole with an all-new lug design for superior traction.

When trying them on, you should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure and not lift excessively when you walk. Ensure the shoes are comfortable without any pinching or rubbing.

The Moab Speed 2 generally offers a medium width fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on to ensure comfort, or look for specific wide-fit versions if available.

Ensure the shoe's tongue is correctly positioned to prevent water ingress. Check that laces are tied securely. If water has soaked through significantly, allow the shoes to dry completely before next use.

Verify you have the correct size. Consider wearing thicker hiking socks. If the issue persists after a reasonable break-in period, the shoe's fit may not be ideal for your foot shape.

Clean the outsole of any mud or debris that may be clogging the lugs. Ensure the outsoles are not excessively worn down.
