FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 GTX offers a standard fit. While it's designed for performance, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on or check reviews regarding fit for wider foot types.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX® membrane?
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the GORE-TEX® membrane. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before storing.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
The weight of a single shoe is approximately 350 grams.
Can these shoes be used in very cold weather?
The GORE-TEX® membrane provides waterproofing and breathability, but these are not insulated winter boots. They are best suited for three-season use or milder winter conditions. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider specialized winter footwear.
What does 'vegan-friendly' mean for these shoes?
Vegan-friendly means that no animal products or by-products were used in the construction of the shoe, including the adhesives and dyes.
How long does the FloatPro™ Foam midsole typically last?
FloatPro™ Foam is designed for durability and long-lasting cushioning. However, the lifespan will depend on usage intensity, terrain, and individual weight. Regular inspection and proper care will help maximize its performance.
Where is the best place to wear these trainers?
These trainers are optimized for technical trails, rocky paths, uneven terrain, and mixed conditions where grip, stability, and waterproofing are essential.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel wet inside despite being waterproof
This could be due to sweat or external moisture seeping in if the GORE-TEX® membrane is compromised or if water enters through the ankle collar. Ensure laces are tied securely. If the issue persists after cleaning and drying, the membrane might be damaged, and professional assessment may be needed.
Traction is reduced on certain surfaces
Check the Vibram® TC5+ outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the tread is significantly worn down, the grip will naturally decrease. Consider if the surface is beyond the intended optimal performance of the outsole.
Unusual odor persists
While cleansport NXT™ helps control odor, very strong odors can still occur with heavy use. Ensure shoes are aired out thoroughly after each use. You can also try using a specialized shoe deodorizer or a mild vinegar and water solution for cleaning the footbed, followed by thorough drying.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with durable, outdoor-specific laces. If using the original recycled laces, handle them with care during tying and untying to minimize stress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX requires no specific setup beyond ensuring the correct fit. Lace them up snugly for optimal support and stability, adjusting to your comfort level for the activity.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, trail running, and general outdoor use on technical terrain. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Moab Speed 2 GTX:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the GORE-TEX® membrane and other materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Waterproofing: While GORE-TEX® is inherently waterproof, applying a suitable re-waterproofing spray designed for waterproof footwear can help maintain its effectiveness over time, especially after extensive use.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
