The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® is designed for hikers seeking a versatile and comfortable shoe that offers excellent grip and waterproofing. Its key benefit lies in combining the trusted trail insights of the best-selling Moab boot with modern athletic hiking innovations. A potential caveat for some users might be the increased foam underfoot, which, while enhancing comfort, may alter the ground feel compared to more minimalist footwear. This shoe features improved traction with Vibram® TC5+ rubber, a significantly increased foam cushioning underfoot, and enhanced breathability.

The fit can vary by individual. While not specifically designed as wide-fit shoes, many users find the Moab Speed 2 to offer a comfortable, accommodating fit. It's recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts and reviews for fit information.
Clean the exterior of the shoe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners. The GORE-TEX® membrane itself is durable and typically only needs to be kept free of dirt and debris by cleaning the shoe as recommended.
The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® is designed to be lighter and more agile, inspired by athletic hiking and trail running shoes, while the original Moab boot is a more traditional, robust hiking boot. The Speed model features enhanced cushioning and breathability improvements.
While they incorporate design elements from trail running shoes for improved breathability and responsiveness, they are primarily designed for hiking. They offer more support and cushioning than a dedicated trail running shoe, making them excellent for hiking but potentially heavier for pure running.
The GORE-TEX® membrane is highly durable and designed for long-lasting waterproof protection. Proper care and maintenance of the shoes will help preserve the performance of the GORE-TEX® membrane.
For optimal comfort and performance, especially with the GORE-TEX® membrane, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blend socks. Cotton socks tend to hold moisture, which can counteract the breathability and waterproofing benefits.
Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that the tongue is aligned to prevent water ingress. Check for any physical damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. Consider if sweat buildup is mistaken for external moisture; ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks.
Clean the outsole tread of mud or debris, as this can significantly reduce grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn down. For extremely slick conditions, consider that no outsole is completely slip-proof.
Allow for a break-in period of a few hikes. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose – to accommodate your foot's natural movement. Check for debris inside the shoe.
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Gentle flexing of the shoe and wearing them for shorter walks initially can help soften the materials.
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. If you typically wear thicker socks for hiking, consider this when choosing your size.
Compatibility: The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® is designed for hiking, trail running, and other outdoor activities. It is compatible with standard hiking socks. The waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane works best when paired with moisture-wicking sock materials.
