Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX shoes are ready for adventure right out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a snug, comfortable fit. Adjust the laces as needed for personalized support.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed primarily for hiking and trail activities. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks. While they offer excellent grip on trails, they are not intended for highly technical mountaineering or icy conditions without additional traction devices.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly. Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or fires), as heat can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners. Regularly check the laces and any fabric components for wear and tear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
