Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Moab 2 Slide is designed for adults seeking a versatile footwear option that blends the convenience of a slip-on mule with the rugged performance of a traditional hiking shoe. Ideal for casual outdoor wear and recovery, it features premium leather and advanced cushioning, though users should note that the open-heel design provides less ankle support than a full hiking boot.

FAQs
Are these slides waterproof?
While the leather is durable and the construction is robust, they are not classified as waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or standing water.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
These slides are intended for casual use and recovery; they lack the ankle support needed for long-distance technical hiking.
Is the footbed removable?
No, the footbed is integrated into the design to ensure stability and support as intended by the manufacturer.
How does the sizing run?
The Moab 2 Slide generally runs true to size. If you plan on wearing them with thick socks, you may consider sizing up.
What is the benefit of the nylon arch shank?
The nylon arch shank provides added rigidity to the midfoot, helping to prevent foot fatigue during long periods of standing or walking.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping within the shoe
Ensure the shoe is the correct size and that the upper is adjusted properly to your midfoot shape; socks can be worn for a tighter fit.
Leather appearing dry or stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore flexibility and protect the material from the elements.
Dirt stuck in the tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove debris from the Vibram Ecostep lugs to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Moab 2 Slide requires no complex setup; simply ensure the fit is snug across the midfoot to prevent slipping. Since these are leather-based, avoid prolonged submersion in water to maintain the integrity of the material. To clean, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying or cracking. The breathable mesh lining should be allowed to air dry completely if it becomes damp after use to prevent odor buildup. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources.
