FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Moab Speed 2 GTX generally offers a standard fit. If you have wider feet, it's advisable to try them on before purchasing or check user reviews for feedback on width accommodation. Some users find loosening the laces significantly helps.

How waterproof is the GORE-TEX membrane?

The GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent water resistance, keeping your feet dry from external moisture like rain and puddles. However, they are not fully submersible and prolonged submersion may eventually lead to water ingress. It also allows moisture vapor (sweat) to escape, enhancing breathability.

What is the benefit of the Float Pro Foam midsole?

Float Pro Foam is Merrell's proprietary cushioning foam designed for durability and comfort. It provides a lightweight yet responsive feel, helping to reduce foot fatigue during long periods of wear or high-impact activities.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

Yes, the Moab Speed 2 GTX is designed with features like lightweight construction, responsive cushioning, and aggressive grip that make them suitable for trail running, especially for moderate to technical terrain.

How do I maintain the odour control treatment?

The Cleansport NXT™ treatment is integrated into the shoe materials. To maintain its effectiveness, ensure the shoes are aired out properly after each use and cleaned regularly as per the care instructions.

Are these shoes considered vegan?

Yes, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX is a vegan-friendly shoe, meaning it is constructed without any animal-derived products.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX weighs approximately 350 grams per shoe (based on a UK size 7), contributing to its lightweight and agile feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or rub.

Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a different lacing technique or thicker/thinner socks. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces.

Clean the Vibram outsole to remove mud or debris. Ensure the shoe is not excessively worn; tread wear can reduce grip over time.

Feet feel damp or warm.

Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Check that the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not compromised. Allow shoes to air out properly after use.

Odors persist despite treatment.

Air shoes out thoroughly after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Clean the interior if necessary with a mild detergent and allow to dry completely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on diverse terrains due to Vibram outsole.
  • Comfortable cushioning for long hikes and technical trails.
  • Lightweight design enhances agility and reduces fatigue.
  • Durable construction with added rock plate protection.
  • Breathable materials keep feet dry and comfortable.

Cons

  • Vegan materials may not offer the same long-term durability as leather for extreme conditions.
  • Fit may require adjustment for users with wider feet.
  • Laces can sometimes come undone if not tied securely.
  • Coloration might show dirt more easily on lighter variants.
  • Primarily designed for trails, less ideal for prolonged urban wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX requires no specific setup. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit. Lace them up securely before each use.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for outdoor activities, particularly hiking, trail running, and general multi-sport use. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and membrane.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause shrinkage or material breakdown. Remove insoles to speed up drying if needed.
  3. Odor Control: The Cleansport NXT™ treatment helps manage odors. Regular airing out after use is recommended.
  4. Waterproofing: While the GORE-TEX membrane provides water resistance, prolonged immersion can still lead to water ingress. Ensure boots are dried thoroughly after exposure to wet conditions.
