Product Information

Full details

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX hiking shoes are designed for adult male hikers seeking a versatile, waterproof shoe that blends the durability of a hiking boot with the agility of a trail runner. Its key benefit is exceptional grip and comfort on varied terrain, thanks to an updated Vibram TC5+ outsole and increased underfoot foam. A potential caveat is their strong performance on the golf course might distract from their primary hiking purpose for some users.

FAQs

Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX shoes suitable for wide feet?

These shoes are designed with a standard fit. While they offer a secure lacing system, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.

How durable is the Vibram TC5+ outsole?

The Vibram TC5+ outsole is known for its durability and excellent traction. It is formulated for Merrell to provide long-lasting performance on varied trails.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

While inspired by trail running innovations and featuring a lightweight design, their primary purpose is hiking. They offer good stability and support for faster hiking but may lack the specific cushioning and flexibility of dedicated trail running shoes.

How do I clean the recycled materials?

The recycled laces, webbing, and footbed can be cleaned using the standard care instructions: a damp cloth or mild soap and cold water. Ensure they are air-dried completely.

What is the benefit of the FlexPlate™ technology?

The FlexPlate™ technology provides a balance of rigidity and flexibility. It protects the foot from sharp objects on the trail while allowing for natural foot articulation during movement.

Are these shoes vegan?

Yes, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX shoes are vegan friendly.

What makes the cushioning different from previous models?

This updated version features a 30% increase in foam underfoot compared to previous iterations, offering significantly enhanced comfort and shock absorption.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX membrane

Ensure the shoes are properly laced and the tongue is sealed to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Also, ensure socks are not the source of moisture.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the Vibram TC5+ outsole thoroughly with water to remove mud or debris that may be obstructing the traction lugs. Check for excessive wear on the outsole.

Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear

Ensure the correct size and width are selected. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks. Adjust lacing to find a comfortable, secure fit. Check if the debris-keeping bellows tongue is properly seated.

Odor persists after cleaning

Ensure the shoes are completely dry, as moisture can lead to odor. The Cleansport NXT™ treatment provides natural odor control, but deep cleaning may be required. Airing them out regularly can help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection with GORE-TEX®.
  • Superior traction and grip on various terrains.
  • Enhanced comfort due to increased underfoot foam.
  • Durable construction with protective features.
  • Lightweight design for agility.
  • Sustainable material usage.

Cons

  • May be perceived as too athletic for traditionalists.
  • The specific UK size 14 might not be readily available in all retailers.
  • While versatile, their primary design is for hiking, not specialized sports.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct fit by trying them on with the type of socks you typically use for hiking.

Compatibility: Designed for hiking and general outdoor use. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. While versatile, they are optimized for trail conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, remove laces and footbed, and wash with cold water and mild soap. Air dry completely, away from direct heat sources.
  2. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane requires minimal maintenance. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof properties. Periodically check and clean any debris from the sole.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
