The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Hiking Shoes are designed with breathable materials and offer good water resistance for typical trail conditions, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet environments.
How do I clean the shoes?
Brush off dry dirt. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for a variety of terrains including dirt paths, gravel, and moderate rocky trails. They are designed for speed and agility.

While comfortable and durable, their design is optimized for hiking. They can be worn for casual use, but their performance features are best utilized on trails.

The Moab Speed 2 are lighter and more athletic than traditional hiking boots, offering better agility and a more responsive feel. They balance comfort and durability with a focus on speed.
What is the recommended sock type for these shoes?
Moisture-wicking hiking socks are recommended to enhance comfort and manage sweat during activity. Ensure the socks fit well to prevent blisters.

Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove any embedded debris that might be affecting grip. Be aware that optimal performance is in dry to moderately wet conditions.
Feet feel warm during long hikes
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Consider using thinner, moisture-wicking socks. The shoe's breathability is good, but extreme heat can still cause warmth.
