FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Moab Speed 2 focuses on high breathability. While it handles moisture well, it is not listed as a waterproof-specific model.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, they incorporate design elements from Merrell's trail running lineup, making them very capable for fast-paced hiking and light trail running.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, the combination of the secure heel counter and the increased foam midsole provides significant structural support for the arch.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper cleaning. Never machine wash the shoes.
What is the function of the rock plate?
The full-length rock plate is a rigid layer placed between the midsole and the outsole to prevent sharp rocks and roots from poking through to the sole of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Feeling debris inside the shoe during trail use
Ensure laces are tightened correctly using the top eyelet to secure the tongue and create a better seal against dust and trail grit.
Reduced traction in muddy conditions
Inspect the lug pattern for trapped mud or compacted dirt and clear it out using a stiff-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Moab Speed 2 shoes, it is recommended to break them in on shorter trails before taking them on multi-day expeditions. Compatibility-wise, these shoes work best with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to maximize the benefits of the breathable upper. For care, remove excess mud after use with a soft brush and warm water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives.
