FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
These shoes are water-resistant and suitable for fall and mild winter conditions, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
How should I clean the nubuck leather?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a specialized nubuck leather cleaner and avoid soaking the leather.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, these shoes come with a removable EVA foam footbed that can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Does the mid-cut design provide ankle support?
Yes, the mid-cut height provides extra structure and security around the ankle compared to low-cut hiking shoes.
Are the laces standard length?
Yes, they feature standard length 100% recycled laces that are easy to replace if needed.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing effectiveness seems to decrease
Clean the exterior thoroughly and re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray recommended for nubuck leather.
Footbed feels uncomfortable or slides
Ensure the removable EVA footbed is correctly seated inside the shoe; replace the footbed if it shows signs of excessive compression.
Accumulation of mud in outsole
The Vibram outsole is designed to shed debris while walking; however, if mud is caked deep, use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the lugs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Moab Speed 2 shoes, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. After each hike, remove the removable EVA footbed to allow for faster drying. Use a soft brush to knock off dried mud and debris from the nubuck leather and the outsole treads. If the leather becomes saturated or heavily soiled, clean it with a dedicated leather cleaner and apply a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for nubuck to maintain the factory water-repellency. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as intense heat can damage the waterproof membrane and cause the leather to crack.
