FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Trainers feature a nylon ripstop and TPU upper that is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. They are designed for breathability and may not be suitable for prolonged immersion in water.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Merrell sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided UK sizing. Ensure there is enough room for your toes to wiggle comfortably.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, the Moab Speed 2 Trainers incorporate features like lightweight cushioning and a durable outsole that make them suitable for trail running, though they are primarily designed as hiking shoes.
What is the primary benefit of the FlexPlate™ technology?
The FlexPlate™ technology provides stability to the shoe while maintaining flexibility, allowing for a more natural foot movement during hiking and walking on varied terrains.
How long does the FloatPro™ foam midsole typically last?
FloatPro™ foam is engineered for long-lasting cushioning and durability. While lifespan varies with usage intensity and frequency, it is designed to maintain its supportive properties over extended periods of wear.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning to preserve the integrity of the materials and adhesives.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Adjust the lacing system to distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break-in period may be required for optimal comfort.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
While Vibram offers excellent traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris that could impede traction.
Dirt or debris entering the shoe.
Ensure the gusseted tongue is properly positioned and the laces are secured to create a better seal. Consider wearing gaiters in very dusty or sandy conditions.
Materials showing signs of wear after limited use.
Inspect for signs of abrasion or damage. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose and not subjected to excessive stress or sharp objects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Trainers feature a traditional lace-up closure system. Simply adjust the laces to achieve a snug and secure fit. Ensure the tongue is centered and the collar sits comfortably around your ankle. The pull tab at the heel aids in sliding the shoe on.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, trail running, and general everyday wear. They are compatible with various types of terrain, from dry dirt paths to moderately wet or rocky surfaces.
Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains on the nylon ripstop and TPU, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces for thorough cleaning if needed.
