Full details

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® is designed for adult male hikers seeking a versatile, waterproof, and comfortable shoe that blends trail-tested durability with athletic innovation. Its key benefit is superior traction and all-day comfort, thanks to improved cushioning and a GORE-TEX membrane. A potential caveat is its versatility might lead some to use it in conditions beyond typical light hiking, where more specialized footwear might be superior.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, the GORE-TEX® membrane provides excellent waterproofing, making them suitable for wet weather. Their design also offers good breathability for warmer conditions.

How much more cushioning do these shoes offer compared to previous models?

The Moab Speed 2 features a 30% increase in foam underfoot compared to previous iterations, significantly enhancing comfort and shock absorption.

Can I use these shoes for activities other than hiking?

Yes, their comfort and traction make them suitable for general outdoor activities. They have also been noted as being effective for use on golf courses.

How do I clean my Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® shoes?

Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What type of grip does the outsole provide?

The shoes feature a Vibram® TC5+ outsole, specially formulated for Merrell, with an all-new design and traction lugs that offer superior grip on a variety of surfaces.

Is there arch support in these shoes?

The design incorporates a secure heel counter and a full-length rock plate for stability. While not explicitly an arch support insole, the overall construction provides a supportive platform.

What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and the Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX®?

The primary difference is the inclusion of the GORE-TEX® waterproof membrane in the 'GORE-TEX®' version, ensuring enhanced water protection. Both share the updated cushioning, traction, and design innovations.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX®

Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that no water is entering through the collar. Internal moisture can also be caused by sweat; consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. Check that the GORE-TEX® membrane is not compromised. Clean the shoes if dirt buildup is impeding breathability.

Reduced traction on slippery surfaces

Clean the Vibram® outsole to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be clogging the lugs. Ensure the shoe size is correct for a secure fit. On extremely slick surfaces, reduced traction is normal for any footwear; proceed with caution.

Discomfort or hot spots during wear

Verify the shoe size and width are appropriate. The increased foam may require a short break-in period. Ensure socks are suitable for hiking and do not bunch up. Adjust lacing for a more personalized fit, ensuring the heel counter is snug but not constricting.

Difficulty removing shoes

Utilize the rear pull-tab for assistance. Ensure laces are loosened sufficiently before attempting to remove the shoe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing with GORE-TEX®
  • Superior traction on diverse surfaces thanks to Vibram® outsole
  • Enhanced comfort with increased foam cushioning
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged trails
  • Good breathability for extended wear
  • Versatile enough for hiking and casual wear, even noted for golf course use

  • UK size 10 may not fit all foot shapes perfectly without trying on

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for hiking and trail walking, they are also suitable for general outdoor activities and have been noted for use on golf courses. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth or sponge with cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX® membrane. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: While GORE-TEX® is highly durable, periodic reapplication of a water-repellent spray suitable for hiking footwear can help maintain water resistance over time.
