FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very hot weather?
While the waterproof membrane keeps water out, it can also reduce breathability. For extremely hot and dry conditions, consider prioritizing maximum ventilation in footwear.
How do I break in my Merrell Moab Speed 2 shoes?
Start by wearing them for short periods around the house. Gradually increase the duration and intensity of wear, including short walks, before embarking on long hikes.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash Merrell Moab Speed 2 hiking shoes, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproof membrane. Hand wash using mild soap and water.
What is the primary difference between the Moab Speed and the Moab Speed 2?
The Moab Speed 2 builds upon the original Moab Speed by incorporating insights from global hikers and integrating new athletic performance technologies for enhanced comfort and stability.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For optimal performance, especially in wet conditions, moisture-wicking socks made of synthetic blends or merino wool are recommended.
How durable is the Vibram® TC5+ outsole?
The Vibram® TC5+ outsole is known for its durability and excellent traction, designed to withstand regular use on varied and rugged trails.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite being waterproof
Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking. Check for potential damage to the waterproof membrane if submersion occurred or if there's a persistent leak. Clean the shoes to ensure the membrane is not blocked by dirt.
Slipping on certain surfaces
The Vibram® TC5+ outsole is designed for multi-terrain grip. Ensure the outsole is clean from excessive mud or debris. Adjust your stride and footing based on the specific terrain conditions.
Discomfort or hot spots during hikes
Verify the shoe size is correct and that laces are tied appropriately for your foot. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes. Consider using different sock thicknesses.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure you are tying a secure knot. Consider using a double knot or replacing the laces with a pair that has better grip.
