FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Moab Speed 2 model is designed for breathability. Check the specific product label if you require a Gore-Tex or waterproof variation.
Are they true to size?
They generally run true to size, but since hiking socks are often thicker, many hikers prefer to size up by a half size.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, their athletic-inspired design makes them suitable for trail running and fast-paced hiking.
How often should I replace them?
It depends on usage, but typically hiking shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles or when the tread lugs show significant wear.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the best way to preserve the materials.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner’s loop' lacing technique to lock the heel more securely.
Outer sole debris buildup
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the lug pattern after every hike to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell Moab Speed 2 shoes maintain their performance, follow these care steps:
- Break-in Period: While they offer immediate comfort, wear them on short walks before attempting long-distance hikes to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy treks, remove loose debris using a soft brush. If necessary, clean the upper with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the synthetic materials and the rubber sole.
- Compatibility: These shoes accommodate standard aftermarket insoles if you require specific arch support, provided the volume allows for a secure fit.
