Merrell Moab Speed 2 Hiking Shoes - Grey - Size 2

The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® features an athletic fit that may be narrower than traditional wide-fit hiking boots. While the lacing can be adjusted, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them less accommodating. Consider trying them on or looking for models specifically designed for wider feet if necessary.

The GORE-TEX® membrane is integrated into the shoe's lining. For general cleaning, follow the standard shoe care instructions. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, will help maintain the membrane's breathability and waterproofing.

Yes, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® comes with a removable EVA foam footbed. You can replace it with your own preferred insoles or orthotics for customized support and comfort.

The FlexPlate™ technology provides essential torsional rigidity for stability on uneven terrain, lateral support to prevent ankle rolls, and flexibility in the forefoot for a more natural and efficient stride.

The Vibram® TC5+ outsole is known for its exceptional durability and grip. It is specifically formulated for Merrell and designed to withstand rigorous use on various outdoor terrains, providing long-lasting traction.

While the GORE-TEX® membrane provides waterproofing, it also offers excellent breathability, which helps manage heat and moisture. However, for extremely hot and dry conditions, a non-waterproof, highly breathable shoe might offer superior ventilation.

Ensure the shoe's tongue and laces are properly positioned to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. If damage is suspected, contact customer support. Wash and dry the shoes as per care instructions, as accumulated dirt can affect breathability and perceived wetness.

Ensure the Vibram® TC5+ outsole is free from excessive mud or debris, which can impede traction. Clean the outsole with water. If the issue persists on very smooth or polished surfaces, be aware that no outsole can guarantee grip in all conditions. Check for proper lacing to ensure a secure fit.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust lacing to achieve a secure but not overly tight fit. If the discomfort persists, consider using the removable EVA foam footbed for custom cushioning or trying a different sock thickness. A short break-in period may be needed.
