FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 offers a standard fit. While not specifically designed for wide feet, the lacing system allows for some adjustability. For very wide feet, it's advisable to try them on in person or check customer reviews regarding fit.
How do I clean the recycled mesh upper?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
What is the main difference between the Moab Speed and Moab Speed 2?
The Moab Speed 2 features an updated design for enhanced performance, often including refinements to the midsole cushioning, outsole grip pattern, and overall fit for improved stability and comfort on technical terrain.
Can these shoes be used for everyday walking?
Yes, their comfortable cushioning and supportive design make them suitable for everyday wear, though they are optimized for trail performance. Their robust construction might feel firmer than a dedicated casual shoe.
How long does the Cleansport NXT™ odour control last?
Cleansport NXT™ is a treatment applied during manufacturing. Its effectiveness is designed to last for the lifespan of the shoe, but proper care and drying will help maintain its performance.
Is the GORE-TEX® membrane guaranteed for life?
GORE-TEX® products are typically guaranteed to be waterproof and breathable for the expected lifetime of the product. This excludes damage caused by wear and tear, improper care, or accidents.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
A single shoe in a typical size weighs approximately 350 grams.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure the shoe's tongue gussets are properly sealed. Moisture could be entering from the top if laces are loose or the tongue is misaligned. Also, check for any punctures or damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. Inspect the tread for excessive wear; if worn down, grip will be compromised.
Unusual odour
While Cleansport NXT™ helps control odour, persistent smells can occur with heavy use. Ensure the shoes are dried completely after use. Periodic washing with a mild soap and water, followed by thorough air drying, can help. Consider using shoe deodorizers.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks or runs. Check your socks for seams that might cause friction. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® BL 1TRL comes ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit before your first use. It's recommended to wear them for a short period initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed for outdoor activities, particularly trail running, hiking, and general multi-sport use. It is compatible with most standard sock types.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the GORE-TEX® membrane and other materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically inspect the GORE-TEX® membrane and outer materials. If water absorption occurs, a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for GORE-TEX® footwear may be necessary.
