FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX® are designed with a standard fit. While they offer good comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts for specific width information.
How do I best clean the GORE-TEX® membrane?
To clean the GORE-TEX® membrane, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more stubborn grime, a mild soap can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water. Always ensure the shoes are air-dried thoroughly.
What is the main advantage of the mid-cut height?
The mid-cut height provides enhanced ankle support and protection against trail debris, reducing the risk of sprains and providing greater confidence on uneven terrain.
Can I wear these shoes in hot weather?
The GORE-TEX® membrane offers breathability, making them suitable for a range of temperatures. However, in very hot and humid conditions, some users may find them warmer than non-waterproof alternatives. The improved breathability compared to previous models helps mitigate this.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The full-length rock plate is embedded in the sole to protect your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other underfoot hazards, allowing you to hike more comfortably and confidently on challenging trails.
How often should I clean my hiking shoes?
It's recommended to clean your hiking shoes after each significant use, especially if they have been exposed to mud, dirt, or water. Regular cleaning helps maintain the materials and the integrity of the waterproof membrane.
What is the difference between the Moab Speed 2 and the original Moab?
The Moab Speed 2 builds upon the legacy of the best-selling Moab boot by incorporating innovations from athletic trail running footwear. Key improvements include increased underfoot foam for enhanced cushioning, improved breathability, and an updated Vibram® TC5+ outsole for superior traction.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure laces are tied tightly to prevent water ingress at the ankle collar. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. If the shoes are submerged, water will eventually seep in. Ensure proper drying after use.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the Vibram® outsole to remove embedded mud or debris that may be reducing grip. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn down. The compound is optimized for grip, but extreme conditions may still pose a challenge.
Discomfort or blisters during initial wear
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust lacing to find a secure but not overly tight fit.
Stiffness in the upper material
The Nylon ripstop and TPU upper is designed for durability and protection. Stiffness will decrease with use as the material conforms to your foot. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. Wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet inside, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: For optimal GORE-TEX® performance, follow recommended cleaning procedures. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive amounts of oil or grease, which can compromise the membrane's effectiveness.
