FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® features a GORE-TEX® waterproof membrane, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions. However, like all waterproof footwear, prolonged submersion may eventually allow water ingress.

How much more foam is there compared to previous models?

The Moab Speed 2 features a 30% increase in foam underfoot compared to its predecessors, providing enhanced cushioning and comfort.

Can I use these shoes for activities other than hiking?

Yes, their versatile design, excellent traction, and stability make them suitable for a range of outdoor activities, including trail running, fastpacking, and even casual wear or golfing.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

These shoes are designed for varied terrain, from well-maintained trails to rocky and uneven surfaces. The Vibram® TC5+ outsole and rock plate provide confidence in most conditions.

How should I clean my Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® shoes?

Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary and rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Do I need to break these shoes in?

While designed for comfort out of the box, a short break-in period with shorter walks is recommended to allow the shoes to conform to your feet for optimal comfort on longer hikes.

What is the benefit of the rock plate?

The full-length rock plate protects your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other trail debris, enhancing comfort and confidence on rugged terrain.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet after hiking in rain.

Ensure laces are fully tightened to secure the GORE-TEX® collar. Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. If the shoes are heavily saturated, allow them to dry completely before the next use.

Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.

Try wearing thicker hiking socks to improve fit and cushioning. Ensure the laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. If the issue persists, the shoes may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Traction seems poor on certain surfaces.

Clean the outsole to remove any caked-on mud or debris that may be reducing grip. Ensure the shoes are fully broken in; new outsoles can sometimes be slicker initially.

Laces keep coming undone.

Ensure you are using a secure knot. You can also try double-knotting the laces. Consider replacing the laces with a pair that has more grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Designed for hiking and general outdoor activities. Compatible with most standard hiking socks. Not recommended for use with specialized orthotics unless they are designed to fit within a hiking shoe profile.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable but avoid abrasive cleaners. For prolonged performance, consider using a specialized water-repellent spray suitable for GORE-TEX® footwear after extended use or cleaning.
