FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Sport is not waterproof but features a durable ripstop upper that offers some resistance to light moisture. For full waterproofing, consider Merrell's Gore-Tex enabled models.
What is the primary benefit of the FloatPro™ Foam Midsole?
The FloatPro™ Foam Midsole provides lightweight, long-lasting cushioning, enhancing comfort during extended wear on the trail.
How does the FlexPlate™ technology work?
The FlexPlate™ technology offers torsional rigidity for stability on uneven terrain while allowing natural flexibility in the forefoot for a more natural stride.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While designed for hiking, their lightweight and athletic build make them suitable for some trail running, especially on varied terrain where extra protection is desired.
What does vegan-friendly mean in this context?
Vegan-friendly means that no animal products or by-products were used in the construction of the shoe.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive lift, and the midfoot should be comfortably snug.
What is the lug depth and why is it important?
The lug depth is 4mm, which is significant for providing aggressive traction on loose dirt, mud, and uneven surfaces. Deeper lugs offer better grip.
Troubleshooting
Slipping or reduced traction
Ensure the Vibram® TC5+ outsole is clean of mud and debris. Check lug wear; if significantly worn, consider replacement.
Foot discomfort or blisters
Verify the shoe size is correct and that you are using appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before attempting long distances.
Upper material feels too loose or tight
Adjust lacing to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure the TPU and ripstop materials are not compromised.
Water ingress
While designed for trail use, these shoes are not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider waterproof hiking boots or gaiters.
