FAQs

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX® boots are designed for a true-to-size fit. While they offer a standard width, the lace system allows for some adjustment. For individuals with significantly wide feet, trying them on or consulting a size chart is recommended.

How do I clean mud off the boots?

Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For caked-on mud, use a damp cloth or a mild soap solution with water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry completely.

Will my feet stay dry in heavy rain?

Yes, the GORE-TEX technology is specifically designed to provide durable waterproof protection, keeping your feet dry even in heavy rain and wet conditions.

What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and previous Moab models?

The Moab Speed 2 offers advancements including improved Vibram TC5+ traction, a 30% increase in underfoot foam for enhanced cushioning, and enhanced breathability inspired by trail running shoes.

Can I wear these boots in warm weather?

While the GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing, the boots also incorporate improved breathability. They are generally suitable for warm weather hiking, but prolonged strenuous activity in very high temperatures might lead to warmer feet compared to non-waterproof options.

What is the benefit of the FlexPlate technology?

The FlexPlate technology provides torsional rigidity, meaning it resists twisting, which enhances stability on uneven ground. It also offers lateral stability and flexibility in the forefoot for a more natural stride.

How long should I expect the waterproofing to last?

The GORE-TEX membrane is durable. However, to maintain optimal performance, it's recommended to clean the boots regularly and periodically reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the exterior.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping into the boots

Ensure laces are fully tightened. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. If damage is present, contact customer support. Reapply waterproofing treatment to the exterior.

Reduced traction on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove embedded mud or debris. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn; consider replacement if tread is significantly diminished.

Discomfort or rubbing during wear

Adjust lacing for a more secure but not overly tight fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the boots on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.

Odors inside the boots

Utilize the Cleansport NXT™ natural odor control by airing out the boots after use. Consider using boot dryers or placing moisture-wicking insoles inside.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use with no extensive setup required. Ensure they fit snugly by adjusting the lace fastening. The dual heel and tongue loops facilitate easy on and off.

Compatibility: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX® Boots are suitable for a wide range of hiking activities, from day hikes to multi-day backpacking trips. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth or a specialized shoe cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may need to reapply a waterproofing treatment suitable for GORE-TEX footwear to maintain optimal water repellency. Follow the product instructions carefully.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
