FAQs
Is the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, while designed for technical trails, its comfort and GORE-TEX® waterproofing make it suitable for everyday wear, especially in wet or varied conditions.
How durable is the FloatPro™ Foam midsole?
FloatPro™ Foam is engineered for durability and long-lasting cushioning, designed to withstand the rigors of trail use without significant degradation.
Does the 'BL 1TRL' designation mean anything specific?
The 'BL 1TRL' often indicates a specific iteration or collaboration, potentially highlighting unique design elements or materials within the Moab Speed line, in this case referencing the specific color and model.
What is the benefit of the rock plate?
The rock plate is a protective layer embedded in the sole that shields your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other underfoot hazards, preventing discomfort and injury on rough terrain.
How does Cleansport NXT™ odour control work?
Cleansport NXT™ uses naturally occurring microbes to break down odour-causing bacteria, helping to keep the footwear fresh without the use of harsh chemicals.
Can I replace the laces on this shoe?
Yes, the laces are replaceable. It is recommended to use durable, trail-specific laces to ensure a secure fit.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® BL 1TRL weighs approximately 350 grams per shoe.
Troubleshooting
Leaking or wet feet despite GORE-TEX®
Check for physical damage to the shoe. Ensure laces are tight and the tongue is properly seated to prevent water entry from the top. GORE-TEX® effectiveness can diminish if the outer fabric is saturated; allow the shoe to dry completely and consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment to the exterior fabric.
Reduced grip or traction
Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole thoroughly. Dirt, mud, or debris can significantly reduce traction. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear; if the tread is significantly worn down, performance will be compromised.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the shoe is the correct size and width. Adjust lacing for a secure but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing thicker or different types of socks. For new shoes, a break-in period is often necessary.
Odour persists
While Cleansport NXT™ helps, intense use can still lead to odour. Ensure shoes are dried thoroughly after each use. Regularly clean the interior with a damp cloth and allow them to air out. Consider using specialized shoe deodorizers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® BL 1TRL comes ready to wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug, comfortable fit before your first use. A proper lacing technique can significantly enhance stability and prevent blisters.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed for hiking, trail running, and general outdoor activities. It pairs well with moisture-wicking socks for optimal performance. It is not specifically designed for formal occasions or industrial safety requirements.
Care: To maintain the shoe's performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the GORE-TEX® membrane and other materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can degrade the materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Waterproofing: While GORE-TEX® is waterproof, over time and with heavy use, you may consider applying a water-repellent treatment suitable for technical footwear to the upper materials (excluding the membrane itself) to enhance water resistance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
