FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While highly comfortable and supportive, the Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® trainers are specifically engineered for technical trails and demanding outdoor activities. For everyday casual wear, they might be more robust than necessary.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slippage, and the forefoot should not feel overly constricted. Refer to the Merrell sizing guide for precise measurements.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the GORE-TEX® membrane, adhesives, and other components. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The rock plate is a protective layer inserted into the midsole designed to shield your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other underfoot hazards commonly found on technical trails.
How long does the Cleansport NXT™ odour control last?
The Cleansport NXT™ treatment is integrated into the shoe materials and is designed to last for the functional life of the footwear, helping to inhibit bacterial growth that causes odour.
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the GORE-TEX® membrane provides a waterproof barrier, keeping your feet dry from external moisture while allowing perspiration vapor to escape. Ensure the shoe's construction, like the tongue and collar, is also sealed or designed to prevent water entry.
What does 'vegan-friendly' mean in this context?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of the shoe, aligning with vegan principles.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure laces are fully tightened and the tongue is properly seated to prevent water entry from the top. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane or seams. Clean the shoes thoroughly as per care instructions.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be lodged in the treads. The outsole compound is designed for grip, but it can be compromised by buildup.
Foot fatigue after short periods
Verify that the correct size has been selected and that laces are tied appropriately for support. The FloatPro™ Foam midsole provides cushioning, but break-in time may be necessary for new shoes. Consider using specialized insoles if the issue persists.
Odour development
While treated with Cleansport NXT™, prolonged use in damp conditions can still lead to odours. Ensure shoes are aired out completely after each use. Regular cleaning and allowing them to dry thoroughly can help manage odours.

Care:
