FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® shoes are described as having a standard fit. While they are true to size, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on or checking user reviews specifically addressing fit can be helpful.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX® membrane?

The GORE-TEX® membrane itself does not require special cleaning. Focus on cleaning the shoe exterior and interior as per the care instructions (wipe clean). The membrane's performance is maintained through proper shoe care and avoiding damage.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the shoes come with a removable EVA foam footbed, which can be replaced with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired for additional support or cushioning.

What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and previous Moab models?

The Moab Speed 2 builds upon the best-selling Moab boot by integrating innovations from athletic trail runners. Key upgrades include a significant increase in underfoot foam for enhanced comfort, improved breathability, and a new Vibram® TC5+ outsole design specifically formulated for Merrell.

Do these shoes require a break-in period?

While designed for immediate comfort due to increased cushioning, like most hiking shoes, a short break-in period on shorter walks is recommended to allow the shoes to fully mold to your feet for optimal comfort and performance.

Are these shoes waterproof or water-resistant?

These shoes feature GORE-TEX® technology, which makes them fully waterproof, effectively keeping your feet dry from external moisture while remaining breathable.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®

Ensure laces are securely tied for a proper seal. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. If only the socks are damp, it may be due to perspiration; ensure good breathability and consider moisture-wicking socks.

Traction feels inconsistent

Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole of mud, dirt, or debris. Check the trail surface; extreme conditions may require specialized footwear. Ensure the shoes are broken in for optimal grip.

Discomfort during long hikes

Verify the shoe size and fit are correct; consider using the removable EVA foam footbed for personalized cushioning. Ensure socks are appropriate for hiking and prevent blisters.

Laces come undone easily

Tie laces securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing laces with a more grippy material if slippage persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability thanks to GORE-TEX®.
  • Superior grip and durability on various surfaces from the Vibram® outsole.
  • Noticeably enhanced comfort with increased underfoot foam cushioning.
  • Lightweight design that doesn't compromise on support or protection.
  • Versatile performance, suitable for hiking and other outdoor activities like golf.

Cons

  • May offer less ankle support compared to traditional mid-cut hiking boots.
  • The specific formulation of Vibram® TC5+ might be optimized for Merrell, potentially limiting its performance in extreme, niche conditions.
  • Sizing runs true to size, but users accustomed to wider fits might find them standard.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready for immediate use out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. The lace-up fastening allows for adjustable tension across the foot.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for women's adult foot sizes (UK 4-8, including half sizes). Suitable for hiking, trail running, and other outdoor multi-sport activities. Their design also makes them suitable for use on golf courses.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
