FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Moab Speed 2 features high-quality nylon construction, but always check if your specific model is the waterproof version, as standard nylon variants are designed for breathability.
What is the primary use for these shoes?
These are athletic hiking shoes designed for performance on varied terrain, bridging the gap between traditional hiking boots and lightweight trail runners.
Does this shoe come in different sizes?
Yes, the series includes a wide range of sizes; always verify your specific UK size requirement.
How do I choose the right size?
We recommend measuring your foot at the end of the day when it is at its largest and comparing it to the Merrell sizing chart for a UK size 8.5 or your required fit.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the included insole can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if additional arch support is needed.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points during first wear
Adjust the lacing tension and ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Consider using gaiters if hiking in loose gravel or sandy environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell Moab Speed 2 shoes maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you have verified your UK size (e.g., 8.5) as the athletic fit may differ from casual lifestyle footwear.
- Break-in: Wear them on short, flat walks before attempting long-distance, high-elevation hikes to allow the nylon upper to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and cool water, then air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and degradation of the synthetic nylon fibers.
