Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Trainers are designed for adult males seeking versatile footwear for varied terrains. Their key benefit lies in the combination of lightweight cushioning and enhanced grip, making them suitable for both casual wear and light hiking. A potential caveat is their low-profile design, which may offer less ankle support for highly demanding off-trail adventures. These trainers feature a lace-up fastening, pull tabs for easy on/off, and padded elements for comfort, utilizing FlexPlate™ technology for flexibility and a Vibram TC5+ outsole for superior traction.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?
The Moab Speed 2 Trainers offer good cushioning for extended wear, but their low-profile design may not provide sufficient ankle support for very long or demanding multi-day treks on technical terrain.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to Merrell's sizing chart and measure your foot length. Compare your measurement to the chart to find the corresponding UK size. The provided size is UK 12.5.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The Vibram TC5+ outsole offers good grip on various surfaces, including wet ones. However, the shoe itself is not waterproof unless specified otherwise for a particular variant. For very wet conditions, consider a waterproof model.
What is the primary advantage of the FlexPlate™ technology?
FlexPlate™ technology is designed to provide underfoot flexibility, allowing for a more natural and adaptive feel as you move across different terrains.
How does the FloatPro™ foam contribute to performance?
FloatPro™ foam provides lightweight and durable cushioning, reducing foot fatigue and enhancing comfort during prolonged activity.
Are there other color options available for the Moab Speed 2 series?
Yes, the Moab Speed 2 series is available in other colors such as Grey and Black/Beige. Please check the product listing for available variants.
What is the best way to break in these trainers?
These trainers are designed for comfort out of the box. However, wearing them for shorter periods initially and gradually increasing the duration can help them mold perfectly to your feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you have the correct size; consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the Vibram outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be obstructing the tread pattern. Ensure the shoes are fully dry.
Pull tabs are difficult to use
Ensure the tabs are oriented correctly. Sometimes, a bit of consistent use can make them more pliable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes entirely.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
