FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 Sport has a standard fit. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides carefully.
Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 Sport waterproof?
No, the standard Moab Speed 2 Sport model is not waterproof. It is designed for breathability, making it ideal for drier conditions. For wet weather, Merrell offers Gore-Tex versions of their hiking shoes.
What is the primary difference between these and the original Moab hiking boots?
The Moab Speed 2 Sport is designed to be lighter and more athletic, focusing on speed and agility with a lower profile. Traditional Moab boots offer more robust support and protection, often with a higher ankle cuff, suited for heavier loads and more demanding terrain.
How do I clean the ripstop upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.
What does the '10mm drop' mean?
The heel-to-toe drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot cushioning. A 10mm drop provides a balanced feel, promoting a natural foot motion while still offering sufficient cushioning.
Can these shoes be used for trail running?
Yes, their lightweight and agile design, along with the high-traction outsole, makes them suitable for trail running, especially for lighter runners or on less technical trails.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Merrell typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Merrell website or the product packaging for specific warranty details and duration.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different thicknesses of hiking socks. Break them in gradually on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram® outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For very slick conditions, exercise caution and adjust your stride.
Water seeps into the shoe
These shoes are not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or a different waterproof model. Allow them to dry thoroughly after exposure to water.
Upper material shows wear
Clean regularly to remove abrasive dirt. Avoid snagging the ripstop material on sharp objects.
