FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 offers a standard fit. While they provide good initial comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet might find a break-in period necessary or may prefer to explore wider fitting options if available.
How long does the waterproofing typically last?
The effectiveness of the waterproof membrane is long-lasting, but the external leather treatment can wear down over time. Periodic reapplication of a compatible waterproofing spray or wax is recommended, especially with frequent use in wet conditions.
Can these shoes be used for running?
While designed with speed and agility in mind, they are primarily hiking shoes. They offer more support and durability than typical running shoes and are best suited for hiking and fast-packing rather than dedicated trail running.
What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and previous models?
The Moab Speed 2 builds on the legacy of the Moab line by incorporating enhanced athletic performance features, a lighter feel, and updated materials for improved comfort and responsiveness on the trail.
How do I clean the leather exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a specialized leather cleaner can be used, followed by air drying and reapplication of a leather conditioner or waterproofing treatment.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Merrell typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Merrell warranty information for specific details regarding coverage and duration.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproof claims
Ensure the waterproof membrane is intact. Check for any tears or damage. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the leather and seams. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not excessively tight to allow the membrane to function effectively.
Slight discomfort during initial wear
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase the duration to allow the materials to conform to your feet.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the Vibram TC5+ outsole of any mud or debris, as buildup can affect grip. Ensure you are walking within the intended conditions for the shoe's traction capabilities.
