FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® shoes are designed with a standard fit. While they offer a secure fit with ample cushioning, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on or check specific width sizing if available.

How long does the GORE-TEX® waterproofing last?

The GORE-TEX® membrane is designed for durability. With proper care and regular cleaning, the waterproofing and breathability performance can be maintained for the expected lifespan of the shoe.

Can I wear these shoes in hot weather?

Yes, the GORE-TEX® membrane offers excellent breathability, which helps regulate temperature. While they are waterproof, they are designed to keep feet comfortable in a range of conditions, including warmer weather, by allowing perspiration to escape.

What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and previous models?

The Moab Speed 2 features a 30% increase in foam underfoot for enhanced comfort, improved traction lugs on the Vibram® TC5+ outsole for better grip, and incorporates learnings from Merrell's trail running lineup for improved breathability.

Are these shoes good for long-distance hiking?

Yes, the increased cushioning from the FloatPro™ Foam midsole and the overall design provide excellent comfort for long-distance hiking. The lightweight construction also helps reduce fatigue over extended periods.

How do I clean the odor control treatment?

The Cleansport NXT™ treatment is integrated into the materials and does not require separate cleaning. Regular washing of the shoes as per the care instructions will help maintain its effectiveness.

Can I replace the footbed?

Yes, the shoes come with a removable EVA foam footbed, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics if needed.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable on first wear.

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short walks initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly, not too tight or too loose.

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX® membrane.

Check for leaks around seams or damage to the membrane. Ensure socks are not absorbing moisture. Clean the shoes as per care instructions, as dirt can sometimes impede breathability.

Traction seems reduced on slippery surfaces.

Clean the Vibram® outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded mud or debris. Ensure the shoe's tread pattern is not worn down. For extremely slick conditions, consider that no tread provides absolute grip.

Difficulty putting shoes on.

Utilize the dual heel and tongue loops to assist in pulling the shoes on. Ensure the bellows tongue is properly aligned. Loosen the laces before attempting to put them on.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for all-weather performance.
  • Superior traction and grip on diverse surfaces due to Vibram® outsole.
  • Enhanced comfort with increased cushioning and lightweight foam.
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged trails.
  • Effective odor control for prolonged wear.
  • Versatile for hiking and other outdoor activities.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • While versatile, they might not be the optimal choice for highly technical or extreme mountaineering.
  • The focus on trail running innovation might make them feel less traditional for long-distance hikers accustomed to stiffer boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. The bellows tongue is designed to keep debris out, and the dual heel and tongue loops aid in easy entry.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, these hiking shoes are suitable for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, trail running, and casual wear. They have also been noted for their effectiveness on golf courses.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® shoes:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a damp cloth.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but regular cleaning helps maintain its breathability. Specialized waterproofing treatments are generally not required unless the exterior fabric appears to be losing its water repellency, in which case a product compatible with GORE-TEX can be used following its instructions.
  4. Odor Control: The Cleansport NXT™ treatment offers natural odor control. Regular airing and occasional cleaning will help maintain freshness.
