FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 generally offers a standard fit. While designed for comfort, individuals with very wide feet might find a slightly more accommodating fit in other models. Trying them on with appropriate socks is recommended.
How do I clean the leather on these hiking shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth to wipe away grime. For conditioning, use a specialized leather treatment after cleaning and allow to air dry.
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature waterproof materials and construction designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions. However, prolonged submersion may eventually lead to water ingress.
What is the intended terrain for the Moab Speed 2?
These shoes are versatile and perform well on a variety of terrains, including trails, rocky paths, and dirt surfaces. They are particularly suited for faster-paced hiking and day treks.
How long is the typical lifespan of these hiking shoes?

Can I replace the insoles?

Troubleshooting
Foot slippage inside the shoe
Ensure laces are tied securely, adjusting the fit to hug the heel and midfoot without being too tight. Consider using thicker hiking socks.
Water seeping into the shoe
Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane or seams. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water entry. For prolonged immersion, no shoe is fully waterproof.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for grip, but traction can be reduced on extremely slick surfaces. Clean the outsole tread of mud or debris to restore optimal grip.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner designed for outdoor footwear. Follow product instructions for application and allow to dry naturally.
