FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 Leather Mid typically offers a standard fit. While designed for comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on or looking for wide-fit specific models is recommended if width is a concern.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The effectiveness of the waterproofing depends on care and usage. With proper cleaning and maintenance, the waterproof membrane can last for the expected lifespan of the shoe, typically several years of moderate use.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproofing membrane. Hand clean using a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and previous models?
The Moab Speed 2 integrates enhanced athletic performance insights and often features updated materials or design elements for improved trail feel and speed, while retaining the core comfort and durability of the Moab line.
Are these boots good for hot weather hiking?
While they are waterproof and breathable, the leather construction might feel warmer than fully synthetic, mesh shoes in very hot and arid conditions. They are best suited for moderate to cool temperatures or wet environments.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale. Merrell generally offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please check the product packaging or retailer's website for specific details.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproof claims
Ensure the shoes are properly laced to create a seal. Check for any visible damage to the leather or seams that might allow water ingress. Allow shoes to dry completely and check if the issue persists on the next hike.
Discomfort or blisters during initial wear
This may indicate a need for a break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter walks and gradually increase the duration. Ensure socks are appropriate for hiking and consider using friction-reducing bandages on potential hot spots.
Slipping on wet or uneven surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean; debris can reduce traction. If the issue persists on very slick surfaces, consider that no shoe offers absolute slip-proof performance. Recalibrate expectations for extreme conditions.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for outdoor footwear. This helps to restore moisture and flexibility to the leather, preventing cracking and extending the shoe's lifespan. Use sparingly after cleaning and drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These hiking shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for short walks initially to allow your feet to adapt to the shoe's structure.

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Waterproofing: The waterproof membrane should maintain its effectiveness with proper care. Regularly check for any signs of wear or damage to the leather that might compromise waterproofing.
