Product Information

Full details

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® is designed for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a versatile, comfortable, and waterproof trail shoe. It offers enhanced traction, superior cushioning, and improved breathability, inspired by both best-selling hiking boots and trail running shoes. A key benefit is its reliable performance in wet conditions due to GORE-TEX waterproofing. However, the aggressive tread may feel less ideal for very hard, non-trail surfaces.

FAQs

Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, the aggressive tread pattern and trail-focused design may be more than necessary for casual, everyday use on paved surfaces. They are best suited for outdoor activities.

How do I clean mud off the shoes?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For caked-on mud, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, then rinse lightly with clean water. Always air dry.

What is the primary benefit of the Vibram® TC5+ outsole?

The Vibram® TC5+ outsole, specifically formulated for Merrell, provides enhanced grip and durability on a wide variety of trail conditions, including wet and dry surfaces.

Will my feet stay dry in heavy rain?

Yes, the GORE-TEX® membrane is a leading waterproof technology designed to keep your feet dry in significant precipitation and wet environments.

How much more foam is there compared to previous models?

This version features a 30% increase in foam underfoot compared to previous Moab Speed models, offering enhanced cushioning and comfort.

Can these shoes be used for activities other than hiking?

Yes, they are versatile and have been found to be excellent for activities like trail running due to their breathability and lightweight feel, and even for golf due to their stability and waterproofing.

What does the 'full-length rock plate' do?

The full-length rock plate is integrated into the sole to protect your feet from sharp rocks and roots, providing confidence and stability on rugged terrain.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX®

Ensure laces are tied snugly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX® fabric. If damage is present, consider replacement. Ensure the shoe has dried completely before next use.

Traction is reduced on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole treads of mud, dirt, or debris, as this can significantly impact grip. Inspect the Vibram® TC5+ rubber for excessive wear. If worn, the traction may be diminished.

Discomfort or pressure points during wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Laces should be adjusted for a secure but not overly tight fit. Some break-in time may be needed for the shoe to conform to your foot shape.

Shoes feel too warm

While designed for breathability, GORE-TEX® can be warmer than non-waterproofed shoes in very hot, dry conditions. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. Ensure the shoes are not excessively tight, which can restrict airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing with GORE-TEX® technology.
  • Superior traction and grip on diverse trail surfaces.
  • Noticeably improved cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Durable construction suitable for rigorous outdoor activities.
  • Breathable design that helps manage foot temperature.

Cons

  • Aggressive tread pattern may be suboptimal for urban or golf course use.
  • The fit may require a break-in period for some users.
  • Can be warmer than non-waterproofed alternatives in hot, dry conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® requires no specific setup. Simply ensure they are the correct size and lace them up for a secure fit before your activity.

Compatibility:

These shoes are designed for a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, trail walking, and scrambling. They are also noted to perform well on golf courses.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and a mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproofing.
  • Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but periodic cleaning will help maintain its performance. Avoid using silicone-based waterproofing treatments, as they may interfere with the membrane's breathability.
