FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Moab Speed 2 focuses on breathability. While they handle light moisture well, they are not designed as fully waterproof hiking boots.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, because the design is inspired by the Merrell Test Lab trail running lineup, they are suitable for fast-paced hiking and light trail running.
How should I clean the exterior?
Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Never submerge in hot water or use a dryer.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The Moab Speed 2 generally fits true to size, but we recommend wearing the thickness of socks you intend to use on the trail when measuring.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The rock plate is a rigid layer embedded in the midsole to prevent sharp stones and roots from poking through the sole and bruising your feet.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure or discomfort at the heel
Ensure the heel counter is not obstructed by your sock and adjust your lacing tension to secure the midfoot.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Consider using a lightweight trail gaiter to prevent pebbles and dirt from entering through the collar.
Traction seems diminished on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs with a stiff brush to remove compacted mud or debris that can block the grip patterns.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Highly breathable construction suitable for warm-weather hiking
- Reliable, high-traction outsole design
- Protective rock plate provides stability on technical trails
Cons
- Lower profile than traditional hiking boots might offer less ankle support
- Requires break-in period for optimal fit
- Lighter material construction may be less durable than full-grain leather boots
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Moab Speed 2 shoes, it is recommended to loosen the laces fully before putting them on to prevent unnecessary strain on the heel counter. These shoes are compatible with most standard hiking insoles if you require specific arch support. For care, remove mud after each hike using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents or a washing machine, as these can break down the adhesives and foam. Always air dry your shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, which can cause the materials to crack or warp.
