FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 waterproof?
The standard Moab Speed 2 is designed for breathability and is not inherently waterproof. For waterproof versions, look for models with GORE-TEX or similar waterproofing technologies.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Merrell sizing chart and measure your foot. It is highly recommended to try them on, ideally at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen, to ensure a comfortable fit with your preferred hiking socks.
What is the main difference from the original Moab boot?
The Moab Speed 2 is a lighter, more athletic-inspired hiking shoe compared to the traditional Moab boot. It features enhanced cushioning and breathability, making it suitable for faster-paced hiking.
Can these be used for running?
While inspired by trail running shoes for breathability and lightness, the Moab Speed 2 is primarily designed for hiking. For dedicated trail running, a specialized trail running shoe would be more appropriate.
How long do the laces typically last?
Laces are generally durable, but can fray with heavy use. If they show signs of wear, they can be easily replaced with standard hiking shoe laces of the same length.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
A single Merrell Moab Speed 2 shoe weighs approximately 340 grams.
Troubleshooting
Slipping or poor traction
Ensure the Vibram outsole is clean. Debris can significantly reduce grip. Check that the laces are tied securely for optimal foot-to-shoe contact.
Discomfort or hot spots
Try different hiking socks. Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for your foot shape. If discomfort persists, the shoes may require a break-in period or may not be the right fit for your foot.
Feet feel warm or sweaty
While designed for breathability, consider moisture-wicking socks. In very hot conditions, occasional breaks to air out feet can help.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Moab Speed 2 is ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility: These hiking shoes are designed for general outdoor trail use. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For dirtier shoes, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
