FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Litre Mid Waterproof boots offer good waterproofing and moderate insulation. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider adding insulated socks or boots specifically designed for winter conditions.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing typically last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is highly durable. With proper care and cleaning, the waterproofing should remain effective for the lifespan of the boots. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the membrane.
Can I replace the PU foam insole?
Yes, the PU foam insole is removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics or different insoles if needed for specialized support or comfort.
What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 Mid and other Moab models?
The Moab Speed 2 Mid focuses on a lighter weight and more agile feel compared to some traditional Moab models, while still retaining essential waterproofing and durable traction. The 'Litre' likely refers to the specific variant with the described features.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Merrell or the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the conversion chart. For hiking boots, it's often recommended to try them on with your intended hiking socks.
Are these boots suitable for backpacking trips?
Yes, the combination of cushioning, stability, and durability makes them well-suited for backpacking trips where comfort and support over long distances are crucial.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the boots.
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and that the laces are tied tightly enough to prevent water ingress. Check that socks are not overly saturated, which can mimic internal wetness. If the boots have been submerged or heavily soaked, allow them to dry thoroughly.
Boots feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.
New hiking boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short walks initially, gradually increasing the duration. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using thicker hiking socks. Adjust lacing to find a more comfortable fit.
Traction feels poor on slippery surfaces.
Clean the Vibram EcoDura outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be clogging the lugs. The outsole is designed for grip, but extreme conditions or wear on the lugs can affect performance. Ensure you are walking within your capabilities.
Laces are difficult to keep tied.
Ensure you are using a secure knot when tying your laces. Consider replacing the original laces with a pair that has better grip, or double-knotting them for added security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are correctly threaded through the eyelets and hooks for a secure and comfortable fit. Adjust lacing tension to your preference, tightening more on the instep and less around the ankle for mobility, or vice-versa for more support.
Compatibility: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Litre Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots are designed for use with standard hiking socks. They are suitable for a variety of hiking conditions, from dry trails to wet and muddy environments.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could compromise its integrity. Periodic re-application of a suitable waterproofing treatment for leather and fabric may extend the life of the water resistance.
