The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX is designed with a standard fit. While the nylon upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on or check for wide-fit specific models if available.
The GORE-TEX membrane is highly durable. With proper care and maintenance, the waterproofing can last for the expected lifespan of the shoe. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive heat, which can degrade the material.
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX membrane. Hand wash using a soft brush, mild soap (if necessary), and water, then air dry.
The Moab Speed 2 features a 30% increase in underfoot foam for enhanced cushioning, an updated Vibram TC5+ outsole with improved traction lug design, and integrated learnings from Merrell's trail running line for better breathability and a lighter feel.
These shoes feature breathable nylon construction and improved breathability from Merrell's trail running lineup. While the GORE-TEX provides waterproofing, it can slightly reduce maximum breathability in very high temperatures compared to non-waterproof shoes. They are generally comfortable for a wide range of conditions.
The lightweight FlexPlate is integrated into the midsole to provide additional stability underfoot, helping to protect your feet from uneven terrain without adding significant weight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to distribute pressure more evenly. Wear with appropriate hiking socks. Allow for a break-in period, especially with the increased foam.
Check if water is entering from the top opening or if the socks are saturated from sweat. Ensure laces are tied snugly. Inspect for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Clean the exterior, as accumulated dirt can affect performance.
Ensure the Vibram TC5+ outsole is free from mud, gravel, or debris. Clean the sole with water. Note that no outsole is entirely slip-proof, especially on extremely wet, polished, or icy surfaces.
This is normal for shoes with a rock plate and enhanced stability features. The shoe is designed for protection and support. Stiffness may decrease slightly after a break-in period.
Setup: These shoes are designed for immediate use with no extensive setup required. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. Adjust the lacing to your preference for optimal security and support.
Compatibility: While primarily designed as hiking shoes, they are compatible with various terrains and activities including walking, trail running (for moderate distances), and golf. They are not specialized for technical climbing or extreme mountaineering.
