FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® BL 1TRL generally offers a standard fit. While designed for versatility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them restrictive. Trying them on is recommended to assess the fit for your specific foot shape.
How do I clean the recycled mesh lining?
The recycled mesh lining can be cleaned using a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the shoes are thoroughly air-dried afterward to prevent odors and material damage.
What is the expected lifespan of the Vibram® outsole?
The lifespan of the Vibram® TC5+ outsole depends on usage intensity, terrain, and care. With regular use on technical trails and proper care, it is designed for durability. Regular inspection for wear is advised.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
The GORE-TEX® membrane provides breathability, but it is primarily designed for waterproofing. In very hot and humid conditions, some users may find them warmer than non-waterproof alternatives. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can help manage comfort.
Is this shoe vegan-friendly?
Yes, the Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® BL 1TRL is constructed with 100% recycled materials for its lining, laces, and webbing, making it a vegan-friendly multi-sport shoe.
What does 'BL 1TRL' signify?
'BL' typically refers to the color 'Black', and '1TRL' denotes Merrell's 1TRL (Transit Line) which often signifies a more premium or distinct design within their product lines.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress and check that the shoe's ventilation is not blocked. Internal moisture can also be caused by sweat; ensure appropriate hiking socks are worn.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole of any mud, dirt, or debris. Excessive wear on the outsole lugs can also reduce grip; inspect for significant wear and consider replacement if necessary.
Unusual odor developing
The Cleansport NXT™ treatment helps control odor. Ensure shoes are aired out after use and dried properly. Occasional washing with mild soap and water can also help.
Discomfort during initial wear
New hiking shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the lacing provides a snug but not overly tight fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you lace them to your preferred tightness for a secure fit. The laces are made from recycled materials and should be tied with a secure knot.
Compatibility: The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® BL 1TRL is designed for adult female hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. While primarily designed for trails, they can be used for other outdoor activities where grip and support are needed.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but for extended longevity, follow cleaning instructions carefully. Avoid abrasive materials that could compromise the fabric.
