FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® Trainers are designed with a standard width. While they offer good comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them a bit snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides.

How do I maintain the GORE-TEX® waterproofing?

The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water helps maintain its breathability and performance. Avoid heat when drying, and do not use abrasive cleaners.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX® membrane. Hand wash with a soft brush and mild soap, then air dry.

What is the primary advantage of the Vibram® TC5+ outsole?

The Vibram® TC5+ rubber is specially formulated for Merrell, offering superior grip and durability with an aggressive lug design optimized for traction on diverse and challenging terrains.

How does the increased foam underfoot benefit the wearer?

The 30% increase in foam provides enhanced cushioning and shock absorption, leading to greater comfort during long-duration activities and reducing foot fatigue.

Are these shoes suitable for general running or only trail running?

While they offer good cushioning and grip suitable for trail running, they are optimized for hiking and mixed-terrain use. For dedicated road running, specialized road running shoes might be more appropriate.

What is the function of the full-length rock plate?

The full-length rock plate is embedded in the midsole to protect your feet from sharp objects and rocks on the trail, preventing discomfort and injury and allowing you to tread with more confidence.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet inside despite no visible water entry.

This could indicate sweat buildup. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If the GORE-TEX® membrane is compromised, contact customer support.

Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.

Check the outsole for embedded debris like mud or stones. Clean the lugs thoroughly with a brush and water. Ensure the terrain is suitable for the shoe's intended grip capabilities.

Heel slips during walking or hiking.

Adjust the lacing to ensure a snug fit around the ankle and heel. Ensure the heel counter is properly engaged. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the correct fit for your foot shape.

Discomfort or pressure points after wearing.

Allow the shoes a break-in period on shorter walks. Ensure you are wearing the correct size and width. Adjust lacing or consider using different insoles if needed.

Pros and Cons

  • Superior grip and stability thanks to Vibram® TC5+ outsole.
  • Noticeably improved comfort due to increased foam cushioning.
  • Lightweight design for agility on varied terrain.
  • Versatile for hiking, trail running, and even casual use.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you lace them to your preferred snugness using the durable laces provided. The secure heel counter helps maintain a good fit without overtightening.

Compatibility: Designed for outdoor enthusiasts, these shoes are compatible with most hiking socks. They are suitable for use on various terrains including trails, rocky paths, and even urban environments. Their versatility extends to activities like golf.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or a dry cloth to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the GORE-TEX® membrane.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is designed for long-term waterproofing. Regular cleaning helps maintain its performance. Avoid using waterproofing sprays unless specifically recommended for GORE-TEX® footwear.
