FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 trainers have a standard fit. While they offer a secure heel counter and adjustable lacing, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them less comfortable. Trying them on or checking for a wide-fit version is recommended.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX® material?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the shoes are allowed to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
What is the difference between Moab Speed 2 and Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX®?
The primary difference is the inclusion of the GORE-TEX® waterproof membrane in the GORE-TEX® version, providing enhanced water resistance and protection in wet conditions. The non-GORE-TEX® version will offer greater breathability in dry, warm conditions.
Can I use these for running marathons?
While these trainers offer good cushioning and are inspired by trail running designs, they are primarily built for hiking and moderate trail use. For marathon running, dedicated running shoes with specific cushioning and support features are generally recommended.
What is the expected lifespan of the shoes?
With proper care and regular use, these trainers are designed for durability. The lifespan will vary depending on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as maintenance. The Vibram® sole offers good wear resistance.
Are these shoes vegan?
The provided product information does not specify if these shoes are vegan. It is recommended to check the official Merrell product page or contact their customer service for detailed material composition.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure laces are tightened properly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check socks are not saturated with sweat, as this can mimic leaks. If the issue persists after cleaning, the waterproof membrane may be compromised; contact customer support.
Traction feels poor on certain surfaces
Ensure the Vibram® outsole is clean and free from embedded debris. The compound is designed for a balance of grip and durability; specific extreme conditions may require specialized footwear.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
Most new shoes require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly to avoid pressure points.
Laces come undone frequently
Try a different lacing knot, such as a surgeon's knot (double knotting the first step), to secure them better.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproofing with GORE-TEX® technology.
- Superior traction on diverse terrain thanks to Vibram® outsole.
- Significantly improved comfort with increased foam cushioning.
- Durable construction suitable for demanding outdoor activities.
- Versatile for hiking and other activities like golf.
Cons
- Fit may vary; trying them on is recommended for best results.
- May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
- Breathability, while improved, might still be a consideration in very hot climates compared to non-waterproof options.
- The low-profile design might not offer the ankle support of a high-cut boot.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by adjusting the laces to secure your foot comfortably. The lacing system allows for a personalized fit, accommodating different foot shapes.
Compatibility:
Designed for adult male feet, these trainers are suitable for hiking, trail running, golf, and general outdoor activities. They are compatible with standard outdoor socks. For optimal GORE-TEX® performance, avoid wearing cotton socks, which can retain moisture.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: After cleaning or getting wet, allow the trainers 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 damage the materials and the GORE-TEX® membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but regular cleaning helps maintain its performance. Periodically, you can reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for footwear to the exterior if water no longer beads off.
