FAQs
Is the Moab Speed 2 waterproof?
The standard model focuses on breathability. If you require water protection, please check for specific Gore-Tex or waterproof-labeled variants of the Moab Speed 2 series.
Does this shoe include a rock plate?
Yes, the Moab Speed 2 is equipped with a full-length rock plate to provide protection against sharp trail debris.
How does the sizing compare to the original Moab?
It generally follows standard sizing, but because it is more of an athletic fit, some users prefer a half-size up if they wear thick hiking socks.
Can I use these for running?
While designed primarily for hiking, the design is heavily influenced by trail running, so they can handle light jogging or trail running scenarios well.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 has a secure, athletic fit. While it accommodates most foot shapes, those with wide feet may find it slightly snugger than the traditional wide-fit Moab models.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long hike
Feet naturally swell during activity; try loosening the laces mid-hike or ensuring you are wearing appropriate performance socks.
Outsole collecting mud
While the lug design is improved, heavily saturated mud can still accumulate; use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris between the lugs after your hike.
Heel slippage occurring
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly through the eyelets and consider using a 'runner's knot' or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Moab Speed 2 shoes, it is recommended to break them in on shorter walks before taking them on multi-day treks. Because these shoes prioritize breathability, they are best paired with moisture-wicking technical socks rather than thick cotton socks. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. If the shoes become muddy, hand wash them with warm water and a mild detergent; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
