FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX features a GORE-TEX® waterproof membrane, designed to keep your feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal vapor to escape.
What is the intended terrain for the Moab Speed 2 GTX?
These shoes are designed for technical trails and tough, varied outdoor conditions. They are suitable for hiking, trail running, and general outdoor use on uneven terrain.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary. While designed for a standard fit, some users find them accommodating. It is recommended to try them on to assess the fit for wider feet.
How long do the FloatPro™ Foam midsoles typically last?
The lifespan of the FloatPro™ Foam depends on usage intensity and terrain. For average hiking use, they are designed to provide durable cushioning for hundreds of miles. Visible signs of wear or a significant decrease in cushioning indicate it might be time for replacement.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproof membrane. Hand wash with mild soap and water as described in the care instructions.
What does 'vegan-friendly' mean in this context?
It means that no animal-derived products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of the shoe, including materials for the upper, laces, and adhesives.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the shoe.
Ensure the GORE-TEX® membrane is intact. Check that laces are tied properly to prevent water from entering at the ankle. If water was absorbed from the top (e.g., deep puddle), this is expected; allow shoes to dry thoroughly.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces.
Clean the Vibram® outsole to remove embedded mud or debris. Worn-out tread can also reduce grip; consider replacement if the outsole is significantly degraded.
Shoe feels uncomfortable or causes blisters.
Ensure the shoes are properly laced for your foot shape. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow for a break-in period. Thicker or different types of socks may also affect fit and comfort.
Odor persists after cleaning.
While cleansport NXT™ helps control odor, persistent odors may require more intensive cleaning. Use a mild soap and water solution and ensure the interior is completely dry. Consider using specialized shoe deodorizers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX is ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. Proper lacing helps maximize stability and prevent blisters.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed for a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, trail running, and general outdoor exploration. It is compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For dirtier shoes, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While GORE-TEX® is durable, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the outer materials may wear off over time. Periodic reapplication of a suitable DWR spray can help maintain water repellency.
