Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The product description states they are 'true to size' and 'standard fit'. While they offer a secure fit, individuals with distinctly wide feet might find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consider alternative wide-fit models if available.

How do I ensure the GORE-TEX® waterproofing remains effective?

Regular cleaning and proper drying are key. Avoid using heat to dry the shoes. Periodically, you can use waterproofing sprays specifically designed for GORE-TEX® footwear to maintain water repellency on the exterior materials.

What is the purpose of the FlexPlate technology?

FlexPlate technology provides torsional rigidity for stability on uneven ground, lateral stability to support your foot during side-hill traverses, and forefoot flexibility for a natural stride and propulsion.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

While they offer good traction and cushioning, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. Their mid-top cut and construction provide more support than typical trail running shoes, making them better suited for hiking and walking where ankle support and durability are prioritized.

How does Cleansport NXT™ work?

Cleansport NXT™ is a probiotic-based technology that works naturally to break down odor-causing bacteria. It's an environmentally friendly treatment to help keep your footwear smelling fresh.

What is the main benefit of the Vibram® TC5+ outsole?

The Vibram® TC5+ outsole is specifically formulated for Merrell to provide exceptional traction and durability across a wide range of outdoor activities and terrains, ensuring a confident grip with every step.

Are half sizes available?

Yes, half sizes are available in selected sizes for the Merrell Moab Speed 2 Mid Gore-Tex Hiking Shoes, allowing for a more precise fit.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite the GORE-TEX®.

This could be due to internal moisture (sweat) if socks are not breathable, or the waterproofing may be compromised. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Inspect the shoe for damage. If damage is found, consider repair or replacement.

Slipping on certain surfaces.

Ensure the Vibram® outsole is clean and free from excessive mud or debris. The lug pattern is designed for traction, but extreme conditions or smooth, wet surfaces can still pose a challenge. Check that the laces are tightened properly for a secure fit.

Discomfort or rubbing after a short period.

Verify the sizing is correct and consider the type of socks being worn. For new shoes, break them in gradually on shorter walks. If discomfort persists, especially if the fit feels too narrow, they may not be the right model for your foot shape.

Difficulty removing or putting on the shoes.

Utilize the dual heel and tongue loops for assistance. Loosen the laces significantly before attempting to put on or take off the shoes to allow more room.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® membrane.
  • Lightweight and comfortable cushioning from FloatPro Foam.
  • Superior traction and grip provided by the Vibram® outsole.
  • Durable construction with protective toe and heel caps.
  • Effective debris protection with the bellows tongue.
  • Natural odor control feature.

Cons

  • Fit is described as 'true to size' which may not accommodate wider feet comfortably.
  • Mid-top cut offers some ankle support but may not be sufficient for very challenging terrain.
  • Lace fastening requires manual adjustment for a secure fit.
  • Primarily designed for hiking; may not be ideal for highly technical mountaineering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These hiking shoes require no specific setup. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. Adjust the laces to achieve a secure and personalized fit.

Compatibility: Designed for general hiking and outdoor multi-sport activities. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. For storage, they are compatible with carabiners using the provided heel and tongue loops.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, 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 adhesives.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically check the GORE-TEX® membrane for effectiveness. For stubborn stains or dirt, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for outdoor footwear can be used following its instructions.
