FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Hiking Shoes are designed for breathability and comfort. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not fully waterproof. For expeditions in heavy rain or wet environments, consider waterproof-specific hiking boots.
How do I choose the correct size?
These shoes feature a standard fit, true to size. Merrell offers sizes 7-12, including half sizes in selected options. It is recommended to try them on if possible or refer to Merrell's official sizing chart.
Can I use these for running?
While they offer flexibility and lightweight cushioning, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated running, trail running shoes would provide more specific performance benefits.
How durable is the leather material?
The shoes feature leather and other materials with protective synthetic caps for durability. Regular care and cleaning will help extend the lifespan of the materials.
What is the purpose of the FlexPlate technology?
FlexPlate technology provides essential torsional rigidity and lateral stability to support your foot on uneven terrain, while also allowing for natural forefoot flexibility during your stride.
How often should I clean my hiking shoes?
It is recommended to wipe your shoes clean after each significant use to remove dirt and debris. Deeper cleaning can be done as needed, ensuring they are properly aired out and dried afterward.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are snug from the bottom up. For a looser fit, ease the tension on the laces. Consider thicker or thinner socks to fine-tune the fit.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the Vibram outsole offers excellent grip, extremely wet or slick surfaces can reduce traction. Clean the outsole to remove any debris that may be hindering grip. For very wet conditions, consider alternative footwear designed for waterproofing.
Odor development after extended use
The Cleansport NXT treatment helps control odor. To further manage odor, ensure shoes are aired out after each use. Washable sock liners can also be used and cleaned separately. If odor persists, consult care instructions for more intensive cleaning.
