FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, the Moab Speed 2 GTX is engineered for technical trails. For casual everyday wear, a less specialized hiking shoe might be more appropriate.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Merrell and measure your foot length. It's often recommended to try them on, especially if you are between sizes or plan to wear thick hiking socks.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insole is typically removable and can be replaced with a custom orthotic or a different type of insole if desired.
What is the main advantage of the FloatPro™ Foam Midsole?
The FloatPro™ Foam Midsole provides a lightweight yet durable cushioning experience, designed for long-lasting comfort and responsiveness on varied terrain.
How long does the GORE-TEX® waterproofing last?
GORE-TEX® membranes are highly durable and designed to last the functional lifetime of the shoe. Proper care and cleaning will help maintain their performance.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
A single shoe weighs approximately 350 grams.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure the shoe's tongue and laces are properly sealed to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. If persistent, consider internal moisture from sweat.
Poor traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole treads of mud or debris, as this can significantly reduce grip. The shoe's traction is optimized for technical trails; very smooth, wet surfaces may still present challenges.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the lacing for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before attempting long hikes.
Shoe odor
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Regular cleaning also helps.
Pros and Cons

- Durable construction suitable for challenging trails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Moab Speed 2 GTX requires no special setup; simply ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit before your first use.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for men's footwear sizes. Compatibility with specific orthotics or insoles may vary, but the standard insole can typically be removed to accommodate custom inserts.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but periodically cleaning the shoes helps maintain its performance. Avoid using waterproofing sprays that are not GORE-TEX® compatible.
