Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX - Blue - UK 8

Yes, the Moab Speed 2 GTX features an athletic design and comfortable cushioning that makes them suitable for casual wear and transitioning from trails to streets.

Refer to Merrell's sizing chart and measure your foot. It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking to ensure a comfortable, snug fit without being too tight.

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX membrane. Hand wash them with mild soap and water as per the care instructions.

The GORE-TEX membrane is designed for durability, but its effectiveness can be maintained by proper cleaning and care. Over time and with heavy use, reapplication of waterproofing treatments to the upper may be beneficial.

The primary difference is the inclusion of GORE-TEX® waterproofing in the Speed 2 GTX model, making it suitable for wet conditions, whereas the original Moab Speed may not offer the same level of water protection.

While Merrell offers various widths in some models, the standard fit of the Moab Speed 2 GTX is designed for average foot width. If you have significantly wide feet, it's advisable to check for specific wide-fit options or try them on to assess comfort.

Ensure the shoe is properly laced for a snug fit, preventing water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or excessive wear. Allow shoes to dry completely if they have been submerged.

Clean the outsole treads thoroughly to remove any embedded mud or debris. If wear is visible on the lugs, consider replacing the shoes. For very slick conditions, use additional traction devices.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure. Consider using different socks.

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Flexing the shoes manually can also help soften the materials.
