FAQs

Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 shoes waterproof?

The standard Merrell Moab Speed 2 features a breathable mesh and synthetic upper designed for ventilation, making it water-resistant but not fully waterproof. For waterproof options, look for models specifically labeled with GORE-TEX® or similar waterproofing technology.

How do I choose the right size?

It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle, and that the heel does not lift excessively when you walk. Refer to Merrell's sizing guide for specific measurements.

What is the main difference between the Moab Speed and traditional Moab boots?

The Moab Speed series is designed to be lighter and more athletic, prioritizing speed and agility on the trail. Traditional Moab boots often offer more robust ankle support and a stiffer sole, suited for heavier loads and more rugged, off-trail expeditions.

How long should I expect the shoes to last?

With proper care and regular use on varied terrain, these hiking shoes can last anywhere from 500 to 1000 miles. Factors like the intensity of use, terrain type, and maintenance will influence their lifespan.

Can I use these for trail running?

Yes, the Moab Speed 2's lightweight and athletic design makes them suitable for trail running, offering good traction and cushioning. However, dedicated trail running shoes might offer more specialized features for that specific activity.

What is the outsole made of?

The outsole is typically made of Vibram® TC5+ rubber, known for its excellent durability and grip on a variety of surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or cause rubbing.

Loosen the laces, especially around the forefoot and ankle. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if the size or width is correct for your foot.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.

Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris. For extreme conditions, consider the limitations of the tread pattern on highly polished or icy surfaces. The Vibram® outsole offers excellent grip but is not infallible.

Feet feel damp or overheated.

This can be due to high ambient temperatures or intense activity. The breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation, which can also allow moisture in during very wet conditions. Consider using moisture-wicking socks and ensure the shoes are not excessively laced, restricting airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and agile for faster movement on trails.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity for regular hiking.
  • Excellent traction with the Vibram® outsole for confidence on various terrains.
  • Comfortable for long distances due to cushioning and breathable materials.
  • Combines the trusted comfort of Moab with modern athletic performance.

Cons

  • May offer less ankle support than high-cut boots for rugged, off-trail use.
  • Athletic fit might not suit those preferring a wider, traditional hiking boot feel.
  • Water resistance may be limited in very wet conditions due to breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit. The laces should not impede circulation but should prevent the foot from sliding forward or backward within the shoe.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for shorter walks initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility:

  • These hiking shoes are designed for use with standard hiking socks.
  • They are suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, trail running, and fastpacking.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using cedar shoe trees to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
