Merrell - Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX®

While Merrell offers various fits, the Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX® is designed for a standard fit. For wider feet, it's recommended to try them on or consult Merrell's sizing guide for specific width options if available.

Start by wearing them around the house for a few hours. Then, progress to short walks on familiar terrain. Gradually increase the distance and difficulty of your hikes to allow the shoes to mold to your feet.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX® membrane. Hand wash using mild soap and cold water as described in the care instructions.

The Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX® incorporates advancements from trail running shoes for a lighter, more agile feel, features an all-new Vibram® TC5+ outsole specifically formulated for Merrell, and offers increased foam cushioning underfoot.

The GORE-TEX® membrane is highly durable. Its longevity depends on proper care and avoiding excessive physical damage. Following cleaning and drying instructions will help maintain its waterproof and breathable properties.

While the Vibram® sole offers good grip, these boots are primarily designed for hiking and trail running. They offer protection and stability on uneven terrain but are not specialized for technical rock climbing or scrambling, which require stiffer soles and different tread patterns.

Ensure laces are properly tightened to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane or seams. Moisture could also be from sweat; consider thinner socks in warmer conditions.

Clean the outsole of any mud, debris, or ice. The Vibram® TC5+ is designed for grip, but accumulated buildup can reduce effectiveness. Ensure the trail conditions are within the intended use limits of the shoe.

Adjust lacing to distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break-in periods may be required for new shoes; wear them for shorter walks initially.
