Product Information

Full details

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® BL 1TRL is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, high-performance hiking shoe for technical trails and challenging conditions. Its key benefit lies in providing lightweight stability and superior grip, especially on uneven terrain, thanks to its FloatPro™ Foam midsole, rock plate, and Vibram® TC5+ outsole. A potential caveat is that while it offers vegan-friendly materials, it's specifically geared towards active adult males, and specific sizing needs should be confirmed.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 is generally designed for a standard fit. While some users find them accommodating, individuals with significantly wide feet may want to explore alternative models or consider trying them on in person if possible.

How do I clean the recycled mesh materials?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher grime, a damp cloth with a mild soap solution is recommended. Always air dry naturally.

What is the expected lifespan of the GORE-TEX® membrane?

The GORE-TEX® membrane is designed for durability and should last for the typical lifespan of the shoe, provided it is cared for properly and not subjected to extreme abrasion or chemicals.

Can I replace the footbed?

Yes, the footbed can typically be removed, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or a different insole if desired.

What is the weight of a single shoe?

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® BL 1TRL weighs approximately 350 grams (0.77 lbs) per shoe.

Are these shoes good for everyday walking?

While they offer excellent comfort due to the cushioning, their aggressive tread and technical design are optimized for trail use. For everyday walking on hard surfaces, a shoe with a less aggressive outsole might be more comfortable and less prone to premature wear.

What does 'vegan-friendly' mean for these shoes?

It means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing process of this specific shoe model.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite GORE-TEX®

Ensure laces are fully tightened and the tongue is properly seated to prevent water from entering the top. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane or seams.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole with water to remove embedded debris that may be affecting traction. Inspect the lugs for excessive wear.

Discomfort or blisters

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks. Experiment with different sock types.

Odor persists

While Cleansport NXT™ helps, prolonged use in wet conditions can still lead to odor. Ensure shoes are dried thoroughly between uses and consider using an anti-odor spray or powder if necessary.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.

  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
