Product Information

Full details

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX trainers are designed for adult male hikers seeking a lightweight, waterproof, and versatile shoe for multi-sport outdoor activities. Their key benefit is combining the ruggedness of a hiking boot with the agility of an athletic trainer, offering excellent traction and comfort. A potential caveat is that while GORE-TEX provides waterproofing, breathability might be a consideration in very hot, humid conditions for some users. This updated model enhances the popular Moab line with advanced features for modern trail adventures.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 typically follows a standard width. If you have significantly wide feet, you may find them snug. Consider trying them on in person or looking for wide-fit versions if available.

How long does the FloatPro™ foam midsole last?

FloatPro™ foam is engineered for durability and long-lasting comfort. Like all midsole foams, its lifespan depends on usage intensity and frequency, but it is designed to maintain its cushioning properties through many miles of hiking.

Can I wear these shoes in warm weather?

Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane offers breathability. However, in very hot and humid conditions, non-waterproof shoes might feel cooler. For most warm-weather hiking, they provide a good balance of protection and ventilation.

Are the recycled materials in the shoe durable?

Yes, Merrell uses durable recycled materials, such as nylon ripstop and recycled mesh, which are designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use while contributing to sustainability.

What is the primary advantage of the FlexPlate™ technology?

The FlexPlate™ technology provides torsional rigidity for stability on uneven terrain, enhances lateral support, and offers forefoot flexibility, allowing for a more natural and efficient stride without adding significant weight.

How do I ensure the waterproofness of the GORE-TEX membrane?

Keep the exterior clean from dirt and mud, as this can impede the membrane's performance over time. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally after use.

Are these shoes considered vegan?

Yes, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX trainers are listed as vegan-friendly, utilizing recycled materials and avoiding animal-derived components.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX.

Ensure laces are securely tied to prevent water ingress. Check for any punctures or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. If the shoe has been submerged, some water entry might occur around the ankle collar.

Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear with appropriate hiking socks. Try breaking them in with shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.

Traction is poor on certain surfaces.

The Vibram® TC5+ outsole is designed for versatility, but performance can vary on extremely slick surfaces like wet polished rock or ice. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris.

Odors are present after use.

Remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry completely after each use. Use the Cleansport NXT™ treatment as intended. If odors persist, consider using a shoe deodorizer or washing the insoles separately.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance thanks to GORE-TEX.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for long hikes and multi-sport use.
  • Superior traction on diverse surfaces due to Vibram® outsole.
  • Durable construction with protective elements for varied terrain.
  • Supportive yet flexible with FlexPlate™ technology.
  • Environmentally conscious design with recycled materials.

Cons

  • May run slightly narrow for wider feet.
  • Laces can sometimes come undone if not double-knotted.
  • While breathable, GORE-TEX can be less effective in extreme heat compared to non-waterproof alternatives.
  • The aesthetic, while functional, might not appeal to those seeking highly fashionable footwear.
  • Break-in period may be required for optimal comfort for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX trainers require no specific setup. They are ready for use right out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably before your first outing.

Compatibility:

These shoes are designed for outdoor activities and are compatible with most standard hiking socks. The vegan-friendly construction means they are suitable for users seeking animal-free products.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt and debris. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water.
  2. Drying: Do not machine wash or use direct heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers) to dry. Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb internal moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but to maintain optimal performance, avoid harsh chemicals or solvents. Periodically, cleaning will help preserve the membrane's breathability.
  4. Laces and Insoles: Laces can be removed and washed separately by hand. Insoles can be removed for airing out or gentle cleaning with a damp cloth.
