Product Information

Full details

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® is designed for hikers seeking a versatile and comfortable shoe that excels on varied terrain. Its key benefit is enhanced traction and waterproofing, allowing for confident exploration in wet conditions. A potential caveat is that the increased foam may take a short break-in period for some users. This innovative hiker blends the trusted trail insights of the best-selling Moab boot with cutting-edge athletic hiker technology, featuring improved grip from Vibram® TC5+ rubber, a significantly increased foam forefoot for superior comfort, and enhanced breathability inspired by Merrell's trail running line. It also includes a secure heel counter and a full-length rock plate for stability and protection.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® suitable for very wet conditions?

Yes, the GORE-TEX® membrane provides reliable waterproofing, keeping your feet dry in rain, puddles, and stream crossings.

How does the increased foam underfoot affect comfort?

The 30% increase in foam provides significantly more cushioning, reducing foot fatigue and impact on your joints during long hikes.

Can I use these shoes for activities other than hiking?

Absolutely. Their design makes them versatile for trail running, walking, and they are also noted to be excellent for use on the golf course.

How do I clean and maintain the waterproofing?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, air dry away from heat. Periodic DWR treatment can help maintain the exterior water repellency.

What is the advantage of the Vibram® TC5+ outsole?

This specially formulated Vibram® rubber compound, combined with an updated lug design, offers enhanced grip and durability on a variety of outdoor surfaces.

Do these shoes have good ankle support?

The Moab Speed 2 is a low-cut hiker designed for agility. While it features a secure heel counter for stability, it does not provide extensive ankle support like a high-cut boot.

What is the purpose of the full-length rock plate?

The rock plate is integrated into the sole to protect your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other underfoot hazards, allowing you to hike with greater confidence.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®

Ensure laces are tied correctly for a snug fit. Check for external damage to the shoe or membrane. Sweat can sometimes cause internal moisture if breathability is overwhelmed; ensure socks are moisture-wicking.

Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces

Ensure the Vibram® TC5+ outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. The grip is optimized for trail conditions; consider terrain limitations.

Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear

This is common with new shoes, especially those with increased foam. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure proper lacing to avoid pressure points.

Shoes feel stiff

Allow for a break-in period of moderate use. The materials will soften and conform to your feet over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing with GORE-TEX® membrane.
  • Superior traction on various surfaces due to Vibram® TC5+ outsole.
  • Enhanced comfort and cushioning with increased foam underfoot.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting wear.
  • Versatile for hiking and even suitable for golf courses.

Cons

  • Increased foam may require a brief break-in period.
  • Lighter construction might be less robust than heavier hiking boots for extreme conditions.
  • May run slightly narrow for individuals with very wide feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® requires no special setup; they are ready for the trail right out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first use.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, trail running, and casual wear. They are compatible with most hiking socks. While excellent for hiking, they also perform well on golf courses.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. If more thorough cleaning is needed, use a damp cloth with cold water and mild soap. Never use a machine to wash or dry your footwear, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproofing.
  2. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but periodic re-application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment might be beneficial for the exterior fabric, especially after extensive use and cleaning, to ensure water beads off effectively.
