Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Moab 2 Slide is designed for adults who seek a seamless blend of premium leather style and rugged hiking performance in a convenient slip-on design. It offers exceptional comfort through specialized cushioning and a stable, high-traction outsole, making it an ideal choice for casual outdoor use or recovery after a hike. Please note that as a slide-style mule, it lacks the ankle support and secure fit of a traditional hiking boot, which may limit its utility on highly technical or unstable terrain.

FAQs
Are these slides suitable for long-distance hiking?
These are designed for light outdoor use, recovery, and casual wear. They are not recommended for long-distance technical hiking due to the lack of heel retention and ankle support.
Can the slides get wet?
While they feature a durable Vibram outsole that handles moisture well, the leather upper should not be submerged. If they do get soaked, allow them to air dry naturally.
Do they run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing. If you typically wear socks with your slides, you might consider how the fit changes with thicker material.
Is the outsole slip-resistant?
The Vibram Ecostep outsole is designed for high traction on varied terrain, offering excellent grip compared to standard rubber outsoles.
How do I maintain the knit upper?
Gently dab the knit area with a damp, soapy cloth to remove surface dirt, then air dry.
Troubleshooting
The leather is becoming stiff or dry.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness and prevent cracking.
Footbed feels slippery after exposure to water.
Thoroughly rinse the inner lining with fresh water and allow the shoe to dry completely in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
Stones or debris get stuck between the foot and the footbed.
Periodically check the sole for trapped debris and clear the footbed surface as needed, as the slide design is open-backed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Moab 2 Slide is ready to wear immediately out of the box with no break-in period required for most users. Because these are constructed with full-grain leather and knit components, proper care is essential to maintain their lifespan. To clean, wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth; avoid submerging the slides in water. If the leather becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the material to crack. If you frequently use these in dusty or muddy conditions, consider applying a leather-safe water repellent spray to preserve the finish and prevent staining.
