FAQs

Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 suitable for wide feet?

This specific model (J037531W) is listed as 'Wide Width' and is designed to accommodate wider feet. However, fit can vary between individuals. It's always recommended to try them on if possible.

What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and previous Moab models?

The Moab Speed 2 features a significant 30% increase in foam cushioning underfoot, an updated Vibram TC5+ outsole with improved traction lugs, and enhanced breathability derived from Merrell's trail running shoe technology.

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

Yes, their comfort and cushioning make them suitable for casual wear. However, their design is optimized for trail performance, so their lifespan might be affected by constant non-trail use.

How much do the Merrell Moab Speed 2 weigh?

The approximate weight for a single shoe is 340 grams (based on EU 43.5 size).

Are these shoes waterproof?

The description does not explicitly state they are waterproof. They are designed for breathability, which typically means they are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. For guaranteed waterproofing, look for Gore-Tex versions if available.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Specific warranty information is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or Merrell's official website for warranty terms and conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Merrell or the retailer. Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel snug without excessive movement.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable on first wear.

The Moab Speed 2 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow the materials to conform to your feet. Ensure you have the correct size and sufficient room in the toe box.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces.

While the Vibram TC5+ offers excellent traction, all rubber outsoles have limitations on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean; mud or debris can reduce grip. Consider specific waterproofing treatments if water saturation is an issue.

Feet feel warm or sweaty during hikes.

Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks. The shoes have improved breathability, but external factors like high temperatures and humidity can still lead to warm feet. Allow shoes to air out completely after use.

Inner sole feels lumpy or worn after moderate use.

Check if the lacing is too tight, which can cause pressure points. If the issue persists, consider replacing the insole with an aftermarket one that better suits your foot shape and needs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on diverse surfaces thanks to Vibram TC5+.
  • Noticeably more comfortable cushioning for extended wear.
  • Good breathability helps manage foot temperature.
  • Provides solid underfoot protection from trail debris.
  • Secure fit enhances stability on technical terrain.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for some users.
  • The focus on lightness might mean slightly less robust ankle support than a full boot.
  • Wide width specific model might not suit all foot types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 comes ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. A proper fit is crucial; the heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be enough room in the toe box for natural foot splay.

Compatibility: These hiking shoes are designed for general trail hiking. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks. While they offer good protection, they are not intended for extreme mountaineering or heavy-duty off-trail bushwhacking where a more robust boot might be necessary.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Moab Speed 2 shoes:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack or warp.
  3. Waterproofing: If needed, reapply a water-repellent treatment suitable for hiking footwear, following the product's instructions. This will help maintain water resistance.
