FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 trainers truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX® membrane which is designed to be waterproof while maintaining breathability.
How do I determine the right size?
It is recommended to try them on, ideally later in the day when your feet are slightly swollen, to ensure a comfortable fit. Refer to the sizing chart if purchasing online.
Can these shoes be used for everyday wear?
While comfortable, their design is optimized for technical trails. For everyday urban use, they might be more robust than necessary, but can certainly be worn if preferred.
What does 'vegan-friendly' mean in this context?
It means no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of the shoe, including the laces, webbing, and linings.
How effective is the Cleansport NXT™ odor control?
Cleansport NXT™ uses natural probiotics to inhibit odor-causing bacteria. While effective, regular cleaning and airing out will supplement its performance.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The rock plate is integrated into the sole to protect your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other underfoot hazards on uneven terrain.
How heavy are these trainers?
The listed weight is 350g, which is considered lightweight for a trail shoe of this capability.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into shoes
Ensure laces are tied correctly and the GORE-TEX® membrane is intact. Check for damage to the shoe's seams or construction. Clean the shoes as per care instructions; accumulated dirt can impede waterproofing.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole of any mud, dirt, or debris. The tread pattern needs to be clear to function effectively. If the outsole appears worn, it may be time to consider replacement.
Discomfort or blisters
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Consider using thicker hiking socks. Some users may benefit from a short break-in period. Ensure the internal lining is smooth and free of any obstructions.
Fading of color or material degradation
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. Follow the recommended cleaning and drying procedures to preserve material integrity.
