FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 Leather Mid Waterproof features a waterproof membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
What is the best type of terrain for these shoes?
These shoes are ideal for trails, gravel paths, and moderate off-road conditions, offering a balance of grip and comfort.
How do I clean my Moab Speed 2 boots?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
What makes the 'Moab Speed 2' different from previous models?
The Moab Speed 2 incorporates updated athletic performance technology and insights from hikers worldwide into the classic Moab design, aiming for enhanced speed and a lighter feel.
Is the ankle support sufficient for rugged hikes?
The mid-height design offers good support for many trails. However, for extremely technical or rocky terrain where maximum ankle stability is critical, taller boots might be preferred by some hikers.
What size should I order?
The product is listed in UK sizes. Refer to a sizing chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit, as Merrell shoes can vary slightly in fit.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproof claim.
Ensure the shoe's waterproof membrane is intact and that water is not entering through the ankle collar. Check for wear and tear. Clean the exterior to ensure no dirt is compromising the seal.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be hindering traction. The Moab Speed 2 features a Vibram® TC5+ outsole designed for grip, but extreme conditions can still pose challenges.
Discomfort or hot spots during hikes.
Ensure the correct size is being worn. New hiking shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase duration. Consider different sock types.
