Merrell Moab Speed 2 Sport - Hiking Shoes - Purple - Size 6.5

The provided description does not specify waterproof features. These are designed for breathability and trail performance, which typically means they are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof.

The Moab Speed 2 Sport combines the trusted elements of the Moab line with innovations inspired by athletic hikers, offering a lighter, more agile feel while retaining durable trail features like the Vibram outsole and rock plate.

While inspired by athletic hikers and offering a responsive feel, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. They may perform adequately for light trail running, but dedicated trail running shoes would offer more specialized features for that activity.

These shoes are best suited for varied hiking trails, including rocky paths, dirt trails, and moderate inclines, thanks to their durable outsole and protective rock plate.

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

The full-length rock plate protects your feet from discomfort caused by sharp rocks, roots, and other trail debris, allowing for a more comfortable hike on rugged terrain.

The product description does not specify width options. It is recommended to check individual product listings or consult with a retailer for available width sizing.

Ensure the Vibram TC5+ outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For persistent issues on very slick surfaces, consider slower, more deliberate steps.

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually before undertaking long distances. Consider using aftermarket insoles if additional cushioning is desired.

This is normal for nylon ripstop and TPU. Continued wear will allow the material to conform to your foot. Avoid using harsh solvents for cleaning, which can degrade the material.
