FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX generally offers a standard fit. While some users find them accommodating, individuals with very wide feet may wish to try them on or consider wider-fitting alternatives if available.

How do I clean mud from the shoes?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For caked-on mud, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from heat.

Can I use these for trekking in heavy rain?

Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent waterproofing, making them suitable for trekking in heavy rain. Ensure the shoe's collar is not submerged for prolonged periods.

What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and the Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX?

The primary difference is the inclusion of the GORE-TEX waterproof membrane in the latter, offering enhanced protection against water while maintaining breathability.

How much cushioning do these shoes have?

These shoes feature a significant increase in foam underfoot, with 30% more foam compared to previous models, providing enhanced comfort and shock absorption.

Are these hiking shoes good for rocky terrain?

Yes, they include a full-length rock plate to protect your feet from sharp rocks and roots, enhancing stability and safety on rocky trails.

What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?

With proper care and regular use on varied terrain, Merrell hiking shoes are generally durable. Lifespan depends heavily on usage intensity, terrain, and maintenance, but they are built for longevity on the trail.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX

Ensure laces are tied properly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any punctures or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. The shoes may have been submerged in water deeper than the ankle collar. Allow shoes to dry completely and test again.

Slipping on the outsole

Clean the outsole thoroughly as dirt and debris can reduce traction. The surface may be exceptionally slippery (e.g., polished wet rock or ice). Ensure you are using the appropriate footwear for the conditions; consider additional traction aids if needed.

Discomfort or rubbing

Break in the shoes with shorter walks before attempting long hikes. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust lacing to alleviate pressure points. Check if the size is correct; a shoe that is too small or too large can cause discomfort.

Reduced breathability

Ensure the inner lining is clean and free from debris. Heavy sweating can sometimes feel like reduced breathability; consider moisture-wicking socks. In very humid conditions, even waterproof-breathable membranes can feel less breathable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing with GORE-TEX technology.
  • Superior traction and grip on varied terrain thanks to Vibram outsole.
  • Significantly improved comfort with increased foam cushioning.
  • Durable construction suitable for challenging trails.
  • Good breathability for a waterproof shoe.

Cons

  • May fit more like a running shoe than a traditional hiking boot, potentially requiring an adjustment period.
  • The design is geared towards speed and agility, which might mean less ankle support for some users compared to mid-cut boots.
  • While versatile, they might not be suitable for extreme mountaineering or heavily technical terrain requiring rigid soles.
  • The specific colorway (White & Pink) might not appeal to all users.

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.
