Merrell - Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® - Grey

The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® - Grey has a standard fit. While it offers a secure heel counter, individuals with significantly wide feet may find a medium width constricting. It is recommended to try them on or check for available wide-width options if applicable.

The GORE-TEX® membrane is designed for durable waterproofing. Its longevity depends on proper care and maintenance. Regular cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals will help preserve its performance.

While they incorporate learnings from Merrell's trail running line and offer good breathability and cushioning, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, especially on highly technical courses, a shoe specifically engineered for that sport might offer better performance characteristics.

The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® prioritizes a lighter weight and more athletic feel, inspired by trail running shoes, with enhanced cushioning and breathability. Traditional Moab boots often offer a more robust, classic hiking boot feel with more ankle support.

Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without significant slippage, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug. Walk around to check for any immediate pressure points.

No, these shoes are not machine washable. Machine washing can damage the GORE-TEX® membrane, adhesives, and other components. Always clean them by hand using a soft brush and damp cloth as per the care instructions.

Ensure the GORE-TEX® membrane is intact and that water is not entering through the shoe opening or laces. Check for damage to the shoe. Clean the shoes as per care instructions, as dirt can impede GORE-TEX® breathability.

Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole of mud or debris, as this can significantly reduce grip. Ensure the shoe is properly broken in; new outsoles may require a few uses to reach optimal traction.

Adjust lacing for a more customized fit, ensuring it's snug but not overly tight. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Consider if the shoe's athletic fit is suitable for your foot shape; break-in time may be required.

Remove insoles and allow both shoes and insoles to air dry completely between uses. Use an odor-absorbing spray or powder designed for footwear. Regular cleaning also helps manage odor.
