FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Moab Speed 2 focuses on breathability. If you require a waterproof version, ensure you are choosing a model specifically labeled with waterproof technology.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, they are built with design insights from trail running shoes and are suitable for fast-paced hiking or trail running.
What is the Vibram TC5+ outsole?
Vibram TC5+ is a high-performance rubber compound engineered for durability and traction across a wide variety of terrains.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Merrell sizes follow standard adult sizing. If you wear thick wool hiking socks, consider if you need a slightly larger size to accommodate the extra volume.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Are these suitable for backpacking with a heavy pack?
While they provide great comfort, they are lighter than traditional heavy-duty boots. They are best for light to moderate loads.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Adjust your lacing pattern to lock the heel more securely or ensure the heel counter is firmly pressed against your heel when tying.
Dirt accumulation in lugs
Use a stiff-bristled nylon brush after the mud has dried to clear debris from the traction lugs to maintain maximum grip.
Feeling damp inside after hiking
Remove the insole and allow the shoe to air dry completely; the breathable mesh is designed to vent moisture, but may require airflow to dry thoroughly after heavy perspiration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell Moab Speed 2 shoes maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: While they feature an athletic fit, wear them for shorter walks to allow the foam to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt after every hike using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can degrade the specialized materials.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the adhesives and foam to break down.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and material degradation.
