FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Sport Hiking Shoes are designed with water-resistant materials but are not fully waterproof. They offer protection against light moisture but are not intended for submersion or prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the main difference between these and traditional Moab boots?

These shoes incorporate innovations from athletic hikers, featuring a sport-inspired upper and a lighter construction, while maintaining the core trail performance features like the Vibram outsole and rock plate found in traditional Moab boots.

How should I choose my size?

It is recommended to refer to Merrell's official sizing chart and measure your foot. For hiking shoes, it's often advised to have a little extra room for toe splay and thicker socks. Trying them on with your typical hiking socks is ideal.

Can I use these for trail running?

While they offer good grip and a lighter feel, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, shoes specifically engineered for that sport may offer better responsiveness and cushioning.

How durable is the nylon ripstop upper?

Nylon ripstop is known for its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to tearing. It provides good durability for typical hiking use, but extreme abrasion can still cause wear over time.

What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?

Moisture-wicking socks made from wool or synthetic blends are recommended to help manage moisture and prevent blisters during hikes.

Troubleshooting

Slipping sensation on wet surfaces.

Ensure the Vibram TC5+ outsole is clean. Mud or debris can reduce traction. If the issue persists, the surface may exceed the grip capabilities of the tread pattern.

Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.

Break in the shoes on shorter walks before longer hikes. Ensure laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. Consider wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks.

Water seeping into the shoes.

While not waterproof, the materials offer some resistance. For wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing treatment or using waterproof socks. Ensure all seams are intact.

Reduced cushioning feel over time.

The cushioning can compress with heavy use. Ensure insoles are properly seated. For significantly reduced cushioning, consider aftermarket insoles.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent grip from Vibram outsole.
  • Superior underfoot protection with a rock plate.
  • Lightweight and breathable upper construction.
  • Combines proven hiking boot features with modern athletic shoe innovation.

Cons

  • Durability of nylon ripstop may vary with extreme use conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. We recommend wearing them for a short period on easier terrain before undertaking long or challenging hikes to allow your feet to adjust.

Compatibility: Designed for adult hikers, primarily women, these shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks. They are suitable for a wide range of trail conditions.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Merrell Moab Speed 2 Sport Hiking Shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Remove insoles and laces to aid drying.
  3. Waterproofing: For enhanced water repellency, consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for hiking footwear. Reapply as needed based on usage and environmental conditions.
