FAQs
How do I determine my correct size?
Merrell recommends ordering your usual size as these shoes are designed for a standard fit. Half sizes are available in selected sizes to help you find the best fit.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 as described are not explicitly listed as waterproof. For protection in wet conditions, Merrell offers waterproof versions of their hiking shoes.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Hand washing with mild soap and cool water, followed by air drying, is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is FlexPlate technology?
FlexPlate technology provides torsional rigidity for stability and forefoot flexibility, allowing for natural foot movement while enhancing support on uneven terrain.
How often should I clean my hiking shoes?
Clean your shoes after particularly dirty hikes or when they appear visibly soiled. Regular airing out after each use also helps maintain freshness and prolong their lifespan.
What is the benefit of the dual heel and tongue loops?
The dual loops on the heel and tongue make it easier to pull the shoes on and off. The heel loop is also designed for carabiner compatibility, allowing you to attach the shoes to your pack.
How does Cleansport NXT treatment work?
Cleansport NXT is a probiotic-based technology that works naturally to break down odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep your footwear smelling fresh.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable on first wear.
Allow for a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for a few hours each day to let them mold to your feet. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
The Vibram TC5+ outsole offers excellent grip, but extreme wet conditions can challenge any tread. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. For consistently wet environments, consider a waterproof model.
Laces come undone easily.
Try a double knot when tying your laces. Ensure the laces themselves are in good condition and not overly worn or smooth.
Shoe interior smells after extended use.
While treated for odor control, prolonged use can still lead to odors. Ensure shoes are aired out completely after each use and consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays if needed.
