The provided information does not specify waterproofing. These shoes are designed with enhanced breathability, which typically means they are not fully waterproof but offer good ventilation.
What is the main advantage of the Moab Speed 2 over previous models?
The Moab Speed 2 features a 30% increase in underfoot foam for better cushioning, an all-new Vibram TC5+ outsole design for improved traction, and enhanced breathability derived from trail running shoe innovations.
What is the weight of the Merrell Moab Speed 2?
The shoes weigh approximately 340 grams per shoe (based on EU size 46).
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
They are designed for general hiking and are well-suited for varied trails, including rocky paths, loose surfaces, and moderate inclines, thanks to their aggressive lug pattern and rock plate.
What does the Vibram TC5+ rubber offer?
Vibram TC5+ rubber is specially formulated for Merrell and provides enhanced traction and durability, with an all-new design and traction lugs for superior grip on the trail.
Can these shoes be used for trail running?
While they incorporate technology from Merrell's trail running lineup for breathability, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, a specific trail running shoe might be more appropriate.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or Merrell. The available sizes include UK 14 (EU 50), UK 13, UK 11, UK 7, UK 8.5, UK 5, UK 7.5, and UK 6, catering to various foot measurements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short walks initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not constricting fit.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
While the Vibram TC5+ offers good grip, all rubber outsoles have limitations on extremely wet, slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of mud or debris that could impede traction.
Feet feel warm or sweaty
The enhanced breathability helps, but consider wearing moisture-wicking socks made from materials like merino wool. Ensure the shoes are not too tightly laced, which can restrict airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 hiking shoes are ready for the trail right out of the box.
