Merrell Moab Speed Sport 2 - Green - Size 6.5

No, these shoes are not waterproof. They are designed with a breathable ripstop upper that handles light moisture well and dries quickly, but they do not feature a waterproof membrane.

The FloatPro™ Foam midsole provides lightweight, durable cushioning that enhances comfort and reduces fatigue over long distances on the trail.

Yes, the Merrell Moab Speed Sport 2 is suitable for light to moderate trail running due to its lightweight design, responsive cushioning, and protective features. However, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes.

The full-length rock plate is embedded in the sole to protect your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other trail debris, preventing discomfort and potential injury.

Vegan-friendly means that no animal products or by-products were used in the construction of these shoes.

The lug depth on the Vibram® TC5+ outsole is 4mm, providing aggressive traction on various trail surfaces.

The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm, which is a moderate drop that balances comfort and a natural feel for hiking.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces. A short break-in period is often necessary for hiking shoes.

While the Vibram® TC5+ outsole offers excellent grip, exceptionally wet or slimy surfaces can challenge any tread. Ensure the outsole is free of mud or debris. Consider the terrain's limitations.

The ripstop upper is breathable but not actively cooling. Wear moisture-wicking socks made of synthetic materials or merino wool. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow.

The FlexPlate™ technology provides torsional rigidity and forefoot flexibility. If you require more rigid support, consider a boot with a stiffer sole and higher ankle collar. Ensure the shoes are properly laced to provide adequate lockdown.
