FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Moab Speed 2 generally offers a standard fit. If you have wider feet, it is recommended to try them on in person or look for specific wide-fit versions if available, though this model is not explicitly listed as wide.

Can I wear these for everyday use, not just hiking?

Yes, their lightweight design and comfortable cushioning make them suitable for casual wear and light athletic activities, though they are optimized for trail performance.

How do I clean the recycled laces and webbing?

The recycled laces and webbing can be cleaned using a damp cloth and cold water. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by thorough rinsing.

What is the benefit of the FlexPlate™ technology?

FlexPlate™ technology provides torsional rigidity for stability on uneven terrain, lateral support for added confidence on side slopes, and forefoot flexibility for a more natural stride.

Are these shoes considered vegan?

Yes, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® is a vegan-friendly shoe.

How durable is the nylon ripstop and TPU upper?

The nylon ripstop offers tear resistance, while the TPU provides protection against abrasion and impacts, making the upper both durable and protective against trail hazards.

What is the main difference between this and the original Moab hiking boot?

The Moab Speed 2 is designed to be lighter and more agile, inspired by athletic hikers, while retaining the durability and support features of the traditional Moab hiking boot.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX

Ensure laces are properly tightened to prevent water ingress and check that socks are not a source of moisture. The membrane's breathability might be reduced if heavily soiled; clean the shoes as per care instructions.

Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces

Clean the Vibram TC5+ outsole lugs of mud or debris. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear; if worn, replacement may be necessary.

Slight discomfort or rubbing during initial wear

This is common with new hiking shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house with appropriate hiking socks to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.

Odor persists after use

While treated for odor control, persistent odor can occur. Ensure shoes are aired out thoroughly after each use. Consider using anti-odor insoles or sprays if the issue continues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for long hikes.
  • Superior traction from Vibram outsole.
  • Durable construction with protective elements.
  • Environmentally conscious design with recycled materials.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Limited color options compared to other models.
  • Specific sizing may vary, suggesting trying them on if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 arrives ready for immediate use. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit, with adequate room in the toe box.

Compatibility: These hiking shoes are designed for multi-sport outdoor activities, including hiking, trail running, and general outdoor exploration. They are compatible with most hiking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth or sponge with cold water. Do not use harsh detergents. If using a cleaner, apply sparingly and rinse thoroughly.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoiding abrasive materials and harsh cleaning agents will help preserve its performance. Periodically, you may consider using a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for GORE-TEX footwear to maintain optimal water repellency.
