Merrell Moab Speed 2 Hiking Shoes - Grey - UK 8

The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® generally offers a standard fit. While they are designed for comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts.

The GORE-TEX® lining is inside the shoe and typically does not require direct cleaning. Focus on cleaning the exterior and interior lining as per the care instructions. If internal cleaning is needed, use a damp cloth and mild soap, ensuring thorough drying.

While the shoes feature improved breathability, they incorporate a waterproof membrane which can reduce airflow compared to non-waterproof shoes. They are best suited for moderate to cool conditions. For very hot and dry climates, consider a non-waterproof model.

The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® is lighter, more agile, and incorporates athletic shoe innovations for enhanced comfort and breathability, drawing from trail running designs. The original Moab boot typically offers more robust support and protection for longer, more demanding backpacking trips.

The GORE-TEX® membrane is designed for durability. With proper care and maintenance, the waterproofing should last for the functional lifetime of the shoe. Avoid excessive abrasion and use appropriate cleaning products.

Yes, the modern design and comfort features make them suitable for everyday casual wear, especially if you anticipate varied terrain or weather conditions.

Merrell typically offers a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Specific warranty periods can vary by region and retailer; please check the official Merrell website or your purchase receipt for detailed information.

Ensure the shoe's tongue and lacing provide a complete seal. Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. Prolonged submersion in deep water may exceed the membrane's capacity.

Clean the outsole of any mud, dirt, or debris that may be lodged in the lugs. Ensure the Vibram® TC5+ rubber is not excessively worn. For icy conditions, consider specialized traction devices.

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Try adjusting the lacing system for a more customized fit. A break-in period may be necessary for new shoes; wear them for shorter durations initially.

Remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry completely after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer or a baking soda paste inside the shoes overnight. Wash removable insoles if possible.
