FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX® offers a standard fit. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, individuals with exceptionally wide feet may wish to try them on or consult Merrell's sizing guide for specific width information if available.

How long does the GORE-TEX® waterproofing last?

The GORE-TEX® membrane is designed for long-term durability. Proper care and cleaning will help maintain its waterproof and breathable properties throughout the life of the shoe.

Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX® membrane. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred cleaning method.

What is the main advantage of the mid-cut height?

The mid-cut height offers enhanced ankle support and protection against trail debris, making them ideal for uneven terrain where ankle stability is important.

How does the cushioning compare to previous Moab models?

The Moab Speed 2 features a 30% increase in foam underfoot compared to previous models, providing significantly more cushioning for improved comfort on long distances.

What terrain are these shoes best suited for?

These shoes are designed for a variety of hiking terrains, including rocky paths, muddy trails, and mixed surfaces, thanks to their advanced traction and protective features.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet after hiking in rain.

Ensure laces are tied securely and the GORE-TEX® membrane is not compromised. Check for wear and tear on the shoe. If recently purchased, verify the product is indeed the GORE-TEX® version. Clean the exterior to ensure optimal performance.

Reduced traction on slippery surfaces.

Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole to remove mud or debris that might be hindering grip. The lug design is optimized for varied terrain; ensure it's not clogged.

Discomfort or pressure points.

Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before embarking on long treks.

Shoes feel too warm.

While designed for breathability, waterproof shoes can be warmer. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. For very hot conditions, a non-waterproof shoe might be more suitable.

  • Noticeably increased underfoot cushioning for enhanced comfort.
  • Superior traction and grip on various trail surfaces.
  • Durable construction designed for rugged hiking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These hiking shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them securely, adjusting the tension to your comfort. The lace fastening allows for a customized fit around the foot and ankle.

Compatibility: The Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX® is designed for hiking and trail walking. They are suitable for use with standard hiking socks. While waterproof, avoid prolonged submersion in deep water, as water can still enter over the ankle cuff.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For more significant dirt, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  2. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material. Regularly cleaning the shoes helps maintain breathability and waterproofing.
