FAQs

Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 waterproof?

The standard Merrell Moab Speed 2 is water-resistant due to its materials and construction, but not fully waterproof unless a specific Gore-Tex or waterproof membrane version is purchased.

How do I break in the Merrell Moab Speed 2?

The Moab Speed 2 is designed for minimal break-in. It's recommended to wear them for shorter walks initially to allow your feet to adapt to the fit and cushioning.

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

The Moab Speed 2 focuses on a lighter, more athletic, and performance-oriented design for faster hiking, while other Moab models might prioritize maximum cushioning or ruggedness for heavier loads.

Can I use these boots for trail running?

While they offer athletic performance and good traction, they are primarily designed as lightweight hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, a specialized trail running shoe might be more appropriate.

What kind of socks are best with these boots?

Mid-weight merino wool or synthetic hiking socks are recommended for comfort, moisture-wicking, and cushioning. Avoid thick cotton socks, which can hold moisture.

How long does the warranty typically last?

Merrell typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Merrell website or your purchase documentation for specific warranty details and duration.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or cause pressure points.

Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If the issue persists, consider if the socks used are too thick, or if a larger size is needed.

Traction feels insufficient on slippery surfaces.

Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris. For prolonged use in wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing treatment to the upper materials.

Water seeping into the boots.

Check for damage to the boot material. Reapply a quality waterproofing spray suitable for hiking footwear. Ensure laces are fully tightened to prevent water ingress at the ankle.

Fraying laces.

Replace the laces with a durable, round hiking lace of the appropriate length. Many outdoor retailers stock suitable replacements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 requires no special setup. Upon receiving your boots, it is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking to ensure a proper fit. Adjust the laces for a snug but comfortable feel, ensuring no pressure points.

Compatibility: These boots are designed for hiking and trail use. They are compatible with most types of hiking socks. While not designed for specific equipment integration, their standard lacing system allows for easy adjustments.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Moab Speed 2 boots:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, avoiding harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots 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.
  3. Waterproofing: Periodically treat the boots with a suitable leather or fabric waterproofing spray to maintain their water resistance, especially after thorough cleaning or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
  4. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
