FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The fit is designed to be accommodating, but individual foot shapes vary. Trying them on is the best way to determine suitability for wide feet.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the boot when standing. Your heel should feel secure with minimal lift when walking.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
While the GORE-TEX® provides waterproofing, the breathability is improved. For extremely hot and dry conditions, lighter, non-waterproof footwear might offer more ventilation.
What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and previous versions?
The Moab Speed 2 features a 30% increase in underfoot foam for enhanced comfort and improved breathability, building on the established performance of the Moab line.
How long does the GORE-TEX® waterproofing last?
GORE-TEX® membranes are designed for durability. With proper care, the waterproof and breathable properties should last the lifespan of the footwear.
Can these boots be resoled?
Merrell boots are typically not designed for resoling by consumers. However, specific services might exist through third-party cobblers.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure the boot's tongue is properly positioned to create a seal and check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. Clean the exterior.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove mud or debris that may be clogging the lugs. Ensure the boot is appropriately broken in for maximum grip.
Discomfort or hot spots
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Re-evaluate the fit and consider if a different size or lacing technique is needed. Break in the boots on shorter walks first.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with durable, appropriately sized hiking laces. Consider treating laces with a water-repellent spray.
