Full details

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX hiking shoes are designed for adult males seeking lightweight stability and superior grip on technical and challenging trails.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX are designed with specific trail performance features. They are best suited for hiking and outdoor activities, but can be worn casually if preferred, though their technical design might not align with all casual aesthetics.

How do I best clean the exterior of the shoes?

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For a more thorough clean, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.

What is the benefit of the rock plate?

The rock plate is a protective layer embedded in the midsole that shields your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other trail debris, preventing bruising and injury.

How long does the odour control treatment last?

Cleansport NXT is a natural odour control treatment integrated into the shoe's materials. Its effectiveness is long-lasting and maintained through regular cleaning of the shoes.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar size and shape.

Are these shoes vegan?

Yes, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX are made with vegan-friendly materials.

What is the weight of a single shoe?

The approximate weight of a single shoe is 350 grams.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®

Ensure laces are tightened properly to prevent water ingress at the top. Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. Ensure the shoes are properly dried internally after each use.

Slipping on certain surfaces

While the Vibram Tc 5+ outsole offers superior grip, extremely slick surfaces like polished wet stone may still pose a challenge. Ensure you are using appropriate hiking techniques for such conditions. Keep the outsole clean of mud and debris.

Discomfort or blisters after a hike

Verify the shoe size and width are appropriate. Break in new shoes gradually. Consider wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks. Ensure laces are tied correctly to prevent heel slippage.

Odour persists after cleaning

The Cleansport NXT treatment provides natural odour control. For persistent odors, ensure thorough cleaning of the interior and insoles. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses. Baking soda can be used inside dry shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on varied and technical terrain due to Vibram outsole.
  • Lightweight design reduces fatigue on long hikes.
  • Effective waterproofing and breathability with GORE-TEX®.
  • Good underfoot protection against rocks and roots.
  • Odor control treatment enhances freshness during use.
  • Comfortable cushioning from the Float Pro Foam midsole.

Cons

  • May be overly specialized for casual walking or urban environments.
  • Laces and webbing might require specific care to maintain appearance.
  • The beige color family, while practical for trails, can show dirt easily.
  • Sizing may need careful consideration for optimal fit.
  • Designed for active use; may lack the casual aesthetics for all-day wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes come ready for immediate use. Ensure they are the correct size for a comfortable fit before heading out. Adjust laces for a secure feel.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for hiking and trail running. Compatible with standard hiking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: GORE-TEX® membranes are durable, but periodic cleaning will help maintain breathability. Avoid using silicone-based waterproofing sprays, as they can interfere with the membrane's performance. Cleansport NXT odour control is inherent and does not require special maintenance, but regular cleaning of the shoe will help prolong its effectiveness.
