FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent water protection, making them great for wet, cool conditions, though they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
How do I choose the right size?
Merrell sizing is generally true to fit, but it is recommended to leave about half an inch of space at the toes to accommodate foot swelling during long hikes.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal footbeds are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash these shoes in a machine, as the agitation and chemicals can damage the structure and the GORE-TEX membrane.
Do I need to treat these with a waterproofing spray?
The shoes come treated with DWR. Over time, you may need to reapply a water-repellent spray to keep the exterior material from wetting out.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points at the arch or heel
Adjust the lacing tension or try a different lacing technique, such as the 'heel lock' method, to secure your foot more effectively.
Reduced breathability or feet feeling damp
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks rather than cotton, as cotton retains moisture and inhibits the GORE-TEX membrane's ability to breathe.
Mud accumulation in lugs
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear dried mud from the outsole after each hike to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Moab Speed 2 hiking shoes, store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. After muddy or dusty treks, remove the insoles and clean the exterior with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating and potentially damage the GORE-TEX membrane. If the shoes become soaked, air dry them naturally; never place them directly against a heater or radiator, as excessive heat can cause materials to warp or adhesives to degrade. When fitting the shoes, ensure you are wearing the specific type of socks you intend to use on the trail to achieve the most accurate fit.
