FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® offers a standard fit. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, individuals with exceptionally wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on is recommended if possible.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Ensure your heel feels secure and doesn't lift excessively when walking.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX® membrane. Hand wash using mild soap and water as per the care instructions.
What is the difference between Moab Speed 2 and Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX®?
The primary difference is the inclusion of GORE-TEX® material in the Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX®, providing enhanced waterproofing and breathability. The core design and comfort features remain largely the same.
How long does the GORE-TEX® waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX® membrane is engineered for durability. With proper care, it should maintain its waterproofing capabilities for the expected lifespan of the shoe. Performance may degrade over many years of heavy use.
Can these be used for everyday casual wear?
Yes, the comfortable design and supportive features make them suitable for casual wear, especially if you are active or spend a lot of time on your feet.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. If the shoes are very old, the membrane's effectiveness may have diminished.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces
Clean the Vibram® sole to remove mud or debris that could be impeding grip. Ensure the terrain is within the intended use limits of the shoe; extreme conditions may require specialized footwear.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure you have the correct size and that laces are adjusted properly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Consider using different socks to see if that improves comfort.
Shoes have an odor
Remove insoles and allow both to air dry completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake out. Regular cleaning and airing out will help prevent odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® trainers feature a low-profile, slip-on design with a standard lace-up closure. To put them on, simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and then tighten the laces to your desired level of snugness, ensuring the heel counter secures your heel properly.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for use on trails, paths, and various outdoor terrains. They are also noted for their suitability for golf courses. They are intended for adult use.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX® membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While GORE-TEX® is highly durable, periodic re-treatment of the upper with a suitable waterproofing spray can help maintain water repellency, especially after extensive use.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent mildew.
