FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 waterproof?
The standard Moab Speed 2 is designed for breathability and is not fully waterproof. For waterproof options, consider Merrell's Gore-Tex or waterproof-treated models.
How much more cushioning do these shoes have?
The Moab Speed 2 features a 30% increase in foam underfoot compared to previous models, providing enhanced comfort and shock absorption.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for moderate to challenging trails, including rocky, root-filled, and uneven terrain. They offer excellent performance for day hikes and fast-paced trail walking.
What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and the original Moab boot?
The Moab Speed 2 is a lighter, lower-cut shoe focused on agility and speed, incorporating athletic hiker innovations. The original Moab boot typically offers more ankle support and a more robust, traditional hiking feel.
How do I clean mud off the Vibram outsole?
Use a stiff brush and cold water to dislodge mud from the traction lugs. Avoid using soap, as it can affect the rubber's grip. Let them air dry completely.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
The weight of a single Merrell Moab Speed 2 shoe is approximately 340 grams.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
Yes, while designed for hiking, their comfort and style make them suitable for casual everyday wear, especially if you prefer a sportier aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different thicknesses of hiking socks. Break them in gradually on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While designed for grip, extremely wet or muddy conditions can impact traction. Clean the outsole treads to remove debris. Vibram soles perform best on dry or moderately wet surfaces.
Feet feel overheated
This can occur in very hot conditions. Ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks. The shoe's breathability is good but can be overwhelmed in extreme heat. Allow for more breaks to air out feet.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure you are tying a secure double knot. Consider replacing the laces with ones that have better grip or a textured surface.

Care:
