FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, their design and features are optimized for hiking and rugged trails. They can be worn casually, but their full benefits are realized in outdoor environments.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to Merrell's official sizing chart, which typically relates UK sizes to foot measurements in centimeters or inches. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 has a heel-to-toe drop of 10mm.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 420g per shoe.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if desired.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the time of purchase or can be found on the manufacturer's official website. It generally covers manufacturing defects.
Are these shoes good for very hot weather?
The waterproof membrane is designed for breathability, but in extreme heat, heavier hiking boots might feel warmer than lighter, non-waterproof options. However, they manage moisture well.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage despite waterproof claim
Ensure laces are tied properly to maximize the waterproof membrane's effectiveness. Check for any visible damage to the shoe's exterior or seams. Allow shoes to dry completely and re-evaluate.
Discomfort or blisters after a hike
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure socks are appropriate for hiking (e.g., moisture-wicking wool or synthetic).
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces
Ensure the Vibram TC5+ outsole is clean of mud or debris, as this can impact grip. The outsole is designed for multi-terrain but extreme conditions may still pose challenges.
