FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While designed for a standard fit, the cushioning and lacing system allow for some adjustment. However, for significantly wide feet, trying them on in person or checking for wider fit options from Merrell is recommended.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX® membrane?
The GORE-TEX® membrane is integrated into the shoe lining. Clean the exterior of the shoe as instructed, and the membrane will be protected. Avoid direct cleaning agents on the membrane itself.
What is the main difference between Moab Speed and Moab Speed 2?
The Moab Speed 2 features an improved Vibram® TC5+ outsole with a new design and lugs, a 30% increase in foam underfoot for enhanced cushioning, and improved breathability, building upon the foundation of the original Moab Speed.
Can these shoes be used for running?
While they incorporate features from Merrell's trail running lineup for breathability and some cushioning, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, a specialized trail running shoe might be more appropriate.
How durable is the Vibram® TC5+ outsole?
Vibram® outsoles are known for their durability and grip. The TC5+ compound is specifically formulated for Merrell, offering a good balance of wear resistance and traction for hiking and varied terrain.
What is the purpose of the full-length rock plate?
The full-length rock plate is embedded in the midsole to protect your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and uneven terrain, providing a smoother and safer walking experience on challenging trails.
How should I break in these hiking shoes?
Wear them around the house or on short, easy walks for a few days before undertaking a long hike. This allows the shoe to conform to your foot and helps identify any potential pressure points.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure laces are tied snugly to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane or seams. If the shoe is submerged, water may enter over the cuff.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole thoroughly to remove mud or debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the rubber is not excessively worn.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the correct size and width are selected. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure on specific areas. Check that the heel counter is not causing irritation.
Shoes smell after use
Remove insoles and air dry shoes separately. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda to absorb odors. Washable socks can help prevent odor buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: Designed for hiking, trail walking, and casual use. They are also noted to perform well on golf courses. The GORE-TEX® membrane ensures water resistance across various weather conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but regular cleaning helps maintain its performance. Avoid using waterproof sprays that might affect breathability.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
