FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While the Moab Speed 2 GTX offers a standard fit, Merrell often provides various width options in their lines. It is recommended to check for available widths or try them on in person if you have significantly wide feet.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane is best cleaned by brushing off dirt and using a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash GORE-TEX footwear as it can damage the waterproofing and materials. Hand-washing is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and the Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX?
The primary difference is the inclusion of the GORE-TEX waterproof membrane in the Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX, offering enhanced protection against water and wet conditions.
How durable is the Vibram TC5+ outsole?
The Vibram TC5+ outsole is known for its durability and grip. Its lifespan will depend on the frequency of use and the type of terrain encountered.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For hiking and outdoor activities, moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blend socks are recommended to complement the breathability and waterproofing of the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the shoes despite GORE-TEX.
Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Ensure laces are tied securely to maintain the seal. If damage is found, consider repair or replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear.
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the fit is correct; try different sock thicknesses if needed.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
Clean the Vibram TC5+ outsole of any mud or debris that might be blocking the lugs. Ensure the surface itself is not excessively slick.
Feet feel warm during prolonged strenuous activity.
While designed for breathability, intense activity can generate heat. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. For extreme heat, consider this model might be better suited for cooler conditions.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trainers are suitable for hiking, trail running, walking, and casual wear. They are also noted for their suitability on golf courses.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. If needed, use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: To maintain GORE-TEX performance, periodically clean the footwear. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet inside, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
