FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for backpacking?
The Moab Speed 2 are designed for hiking and multi-sport use, offering good comfort and traction. For extensive backpacking with heavy loads over very rugged terrain, consider if the low-profile cut meets your ankle support needs.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Merrell states these shoes fit true to size. It is recommended to order your usual size. If you are between sizes, and half sizes are available for your selection, consider trying both.
What does 'FlexPlate technology' do?
FlexPlate technology provides torsional rigidity for stability, lateral support, and controlled flexibility in the forefoot, allowing for natural foot movement while protecting the foot.
Can these shoes be used in wet conditions?
The Vibram TC5 outsole provides excellent traction on various surfaces, including wet ones. However, they are not waterproof unless specified otherwise for a particular variant.
How does Cleansport NXT help?
Cleansport NXT is a treatment applied to the shoe materials that helps to break down odor-causing bacteria, providing natural odor control.
Are there other color options available?
While this guide focuses on the Blue variant, Merrell often offers various colorways for their popular shoe models. Please check product listings for available options.
What is the main difference between Moab Speed 2 and other Moab models?
The Moab Speed 2 is designed to be lighter and more agile than some traditional Moab hiking shoes, focusing on speed and responsiveness while maintaining key Merrell performance features like Vibram traction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. If the size is consistently incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size, referring to the 'True to size' fit guide.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
While the Vibram TC5 outsole offers excellent traction, extremely slick surfaces may still present challenges. Ensure footwear is clean and free of mud or debris for optimal grip.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Ensure the laces are correctly tensioned and consider if the shoe size is appropriate. If discomfort persists, allow a break-in period for the shoes to conform to your foot.
Heel or toe cap scuffing.
The synthetic heel and toe caps are designed to be abrasion-resistant. Minor scuffs are normal wear and tear and do not typically affect performance.
