While Merrell offers various fits, the standard Moab Speed 2 is designed for a typical adult foot. If you have wider feet, it's recommended to try them on in person or look for specific wide-fit models if available.
The GORE-TEX® membrane is highly durable and designed for the lifetime of the shoe under normal use. Proper care and avoiding damage are key to maintaining its waterproof properties.
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's construction, adhesives, and waterproof membrane. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® is designed to be lighter and more agile, incorporating innovations from athletic trail running shoes, while still leveraging the trail-tested knowledge from the best-selling Moab boot line. It features updated traction and increased cushioning.
The GORE-TEX® membrane provides waterproofing, which can make them warmer than non-waterproof shoes in very hot conditions. However, their improved breathability compared to traditional waterproof boots makes them viable for summer hiking, especially in variable or wet climates.
For hiking, it's recommended to wear moisture-wicking socks made from wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to blisters. The socks should complement the shoe fit.
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane or seam seals. If water is seeping from the top, consider adjusting lace tension or wearing taller socks.
This is common with new hiking shoes. Wear them for progressively longer periods on shorter walks to allow the shoe to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure the lacing system is adjusted correctly for your foot.
Clean the outsole tread of mud, debris, or ice, as this can significantly reduce grip. The Vibram® TC5+ rubber is designed for optimal performance when the lugs are clear.
New hiking shoes, especially those with protective features like rock plates and waterproof membranes, can feel stiff initially. Consistent wear and breaking-in will soften the materials.
Setup: These shoes are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for a comfortable fit. For the best experience, it is recommended to wear them for shorter walks initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Compatibility: Suitable for hiking, trail running, and casual wear on varied terrain. Also noted for good performance on golf courses.
