FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 waterproof?
The standard Moab Speed 2 is not a waterproof shoe but offers water resistance. For full waterproofing, Merrell offers GORE-TEX variants of the Moab line.
What is the main difference between Moab Speed 2 and previous Moab models?
The Moab Speed 2 incorporates more athletic hiking innovations, featuring a lighter design, increased underfoot foam for enhanced comfort, and improved breathability, drawing from trail running shoe technology.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should not feel tight across the widest part of your foot.
Can I use these shoes for casual wear?
Yes, the Moab Speed 2 offers comfort and style that makes them suitable for casual wear, though their primary design is for hiking and trail activities.
What type of terrain is the Vibram TC5+ outsole best suited for?
The Vibram TC5+ outsole is formulated for a balance of grip, durability, and traction across a wide range of conditions, including dry rock, dirt, and moderate wet surfaces.
What is the weight of the Merrell Moab Speed 2?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 weighs approximately 340 grams per shoe (based on a men's size).
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. If discomfort persists, the size or width may not be suitable for your foot shape; consider trying a different size or width if available.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
The Vibram TC5+ outsole provides excellent grip, but performance on extremely slick, wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris, as this can impede traction.
Feet feel warmer than expected
While designed for breathability, very high temperatures or intense activity can lead to warm feet. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Consider the Moab Speed 2 Vent variant if maximum airflow is a priority.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 hiking shoes are ready to wear out of the box. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring a proper fit. Lace them up securely for optimal support.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for hiking and trail walking. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. While not designed for technical rock climbing, they offer good grip for scrambling on moderate terrain.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, use cool water and a mild soap. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Laces: Check laces for wear and tear. Replace if frayed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Waterproofing: While many Merrell shoes have water-resistant treatments, avoid prolonged submersion in water. Reapply waterproofing treatments periodically if needed, following product instructions.
