FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

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.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX® membrane?

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.

Can I replace the insole?

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.

What is the benefit of the FlexPlate™ technology?

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.

How durable is the Vibram® TC5+ outsole?

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.

Are these good for hot weather hiking?

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.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®.

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.

Slipping on certain surfaces.

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.

Discomfort or rubbing.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability thanks to GORE-TEX®.
  • Superior traction on various terrains with the Vibram® TC5+ outsole.
  • Enhanced comfort due to increased underfoot foam and FloatPro™ midsole.
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue on long treks.
  • Durable with protective synthetic heel and toe caps.

Cons

  • The athletic fit might feel snug for those preferring a wider hiking shoe.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Specific cleaning for GORE-TEX® may be needed to maintain performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shoes are ready to wear out of the box with minimal break-in required. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. To maintain the performance of the GORE-TEX® membrane and the shoe's materials, clean them after each use. Use a damp cloth to wipe away mud and debris. For deeper cleaning, remove the laces and insole, then wash with cold water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane. Treat the nylon ripstop and synthetic uppers with appropriate waterproofing sprays if needed, following the product's instructions.
