FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® trainers are designed with a standard fit. While they offer good comfort, individuals with particularly wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended for the best assessment of fit.
How do I clean the leather and textile parts?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes.
Can I use these for running on paved roads?
While these trainers offer good cushioning and are suitable for trail running, their primary design is for trail and varied outdoor use. For dedicated road running, specialized road running shoes might offer better performance and cushioning.
What is the main benefit of the GORE-TEX® feature?
The GORE-TEX® membrane provides reliable waterproofing, keeping your feet dry from external moisture like rain and puddles, while also allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape, ensuring breathability.
How does the Vibram® TC5+ outsole improve grip?
The Vibram® TC5+ rubber is specially formulated for Merrell and features an all-new design with aggressive traction lugs. This combination is engineered to provide superior grip on a wide variety of surfaces, both wet and dry.
What makes the cushioning different in this model?
The Moab Speed 2 features a 30% increase in foam underfoot compared to previous models, incorporating a FloatPro Foam midsole. This provides enhanced, lightweight, and durable cushioning for greater comfort during extended wear.
Do these shoes have good ankle support?
These are low-cut trainers, which prioritize freedom of movement over high ankle support. They feature a secure fit heel counter for stability, but individuals requiring significant ankle support might prefer a mid- or high-cut hiking boot.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into shoes despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure the laces are fully tightened and the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water entry. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane or seams. Clean the shoes thoroughly and allow them to dry completely; then consider applying a suitable waterproofing spray to the exterior fabric.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the Vibram® outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that may be clogging the lugs. The aggressive tread pattern relies on clean surfaces for optimal grip.
Foot fatigue after prolonged wear
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for a snug, supportive fit. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles that provide additional cushioning or arch support tailored to your needs.
Difficulty pulling shoes on
Utilize the integrated pull-on tab at the heel. Ensure the laces are loosened sufficiently before attempting to slide your foot in, then re-tighten for a secure fit.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your GORE-TEX® trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. If necessary, wipe the leather and textile uppers with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: For GORE-TEX® footwear, occasional re-treatment with a waterproofing spray specifically designed for technical footwear can help maintain water repellency on the exterior fabric components.
