FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Hiking Shoes are not explicitly listed as waterproof. They are designed for athletic performance and likely offer some water resistance, but for prolonged exposure to wet conditions, a waterproof variant might be more suitable.
How do I know if I have the right size?
These shoes are true to size, so order your usual size. Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The standard fit may be narrow for some; if unsure, trying them on or ordering a half size up can be beneficial.
Can these shoes be used for trail running?
Yes, the Moab Speed 2 is engineered for athletic performance and speed on trails, incorporating features like FlexPlate technology and a lightweight design that make them suitable for trail running in addition to hiking.
How often should I clean the shoes?
Clean your shoes as needed, especially after muddy or dusty hikes. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain their appearance and material integrity.
What does 'Cleansport NXT' treatment do?
Cleansport NXT is a natural odor control treatment applied to the shoe materials to help inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your footwear fresher.
What is the purpose of the FlexPlate technology?
The FlexPlate technology provides torsional rigidity and lateral stability, allowing the shoe to adapt to uneven terrain while maintaining forefoot flexibility for a more dynamic and agile feel.
Are half sizes available?
Yes, half sizes are available in selected sizes, offering a more precise fit for many individuals.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or narrow.
If you have wider feet, consider trying a half-size larger or exploring models specifically designed for a wider fit. Ensure laces are loosened before putting on and then tightened for a snug but not constricting fit.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
While Vibram outsoles offer excellent grip, extremely slick or muddy surfaces can challenge any footwear. Ensure the outsole is free of debris, which can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For very wet conditions, consider a waterproof model.
Laces come undone frequently.
Tie a double knot when securing the laces to prevent them from loosening during activity. Ensure the lace material has enough friction; some synthetic laces can be more prone to slipping.
