FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® trainers are designed with a standard fit. While they offer good comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or check for available wide-fit versions if offered by the retailer.
How do I clean mud off the trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Then, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently clean the shoe's exterior. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue. Allow to air dry completely.
Will my feet get hot in these waterproof shoes?
The GORE-TEX® membrane is designed to be breathable, allowing perspiration vapor to escape. However, in very hot and humid conditions, any waterproof shoe may feel warmer than a non-waterproof alternative. The design incorporates learnings from trail running for improved airflow.
What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and the Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX®?
The primary difference is the inclusion of a GORE-TEX® waterproof membrane in the Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® version. This provides enhanced protection against water and wet conditions, while the non-GORE-TEX® version offers maximum breathability.
Can I wear these for activities other than hiking?
Yes, these trainers are versatile. They are excellent for hiking and trail use, and customers have found them to be very suitable for activities like walking and even golf due to their stable platform and grip.
How much extra cushioning is there compared to previous models?
The Moab Speed 2 features a 30% increase in foam underfoot compared to previous versions, providing enhanced cushioning and comfort for longer durations on varied terrain.
What kind of warranty comes with these trainers?
Specific warranty details vary by retailer and region. Typically, Merrell products come with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for precise warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure laces are tightened properly to seal the shoe. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. Moisture can also come from sweat; ensure socks are moisture-wicking.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be hindering grip. Vibram® soles perform best when clean.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
The Moab Speed 2 may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for optimal comfort.
Difficulty pulling shoes on
Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly and the collar is fully open before sliding your foot in. Using the pull-on tab can assist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them snugly but not too tight, using the lace-up closure. The pull-on tabs and padded tongue and cuff contribute to an easy and comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for adult male feet, these trainers are suitable for hiking, trail running, and casual wear. Their waterproof nature makes them ideal for wet or variable weather conditions. They have also been found to be suitable for golf.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but avoid exposing the shoes to excessive heat or sharp objects that could compromise the material.
- Drying: After use in wet conditions, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Do not machine wash or use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
