FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Moab Speed 2 over other hiking shoes?
The Moab Speed 2 combines the trusted comfort of the classic Moab line with updated athletic hiking innovations, featuring enhanced underfoot cushioning and superior traction from the Vibram TC5+ outsole.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the increased foam underfoot (30% more) and secure fit make them well-suited for long-distance hiking, reducing fatigue over extended periods.
How do I clean my Moab Speed 2 shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth or sponge and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
They are designed for a variety of hiking trails, including moderate to challenging terrain, offering excellent traction on loose, wet, or uneven surfaces thanks to the Vibram TC5+ outsole and traction lugs.
Do I need to break in these shoes?
While they are designed for comfort, a short break-in period with a few shorter walks is recommended to allow the shoes to fully conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort.
What does the full-length rock plate do?
The full-length rock plate protects your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other underfoot hazards, providing confidence and preventing discomfort on rough trails.
How much do the Moab Speed 2 shoes weigh?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 shoes weigh approximately 340 grams per shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted properly. Consider wearing thicker or thinner socks as needed. Allow for a break-in period of a few walks. If persistent discomfort, consider trying a different size or width.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Wipe the outsole clean of mud or debris. Vibram TC5+ offers excellent grip, but extreme conditions can still challenge any outsole. Ensure the shoe is not worn out.
Feet feel warmer than expected
The shoes offer improved breathability, but very high temperatures or intense activity can still lead to warmth. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Allow shoes to dry completely between uses.
