FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 generally offers a standard fit. While they are designed for comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Checking reviews or trying them on in person is recommended for those with wider feet.
How do these compare to traditional Moab boots?
The Moab Speed 2 are lighter and designed for more athletic, faster movement, incorporating athletic shoe technology. Traditional Moab boots are often heavier and offer more robust ankle support for rugged, slower-paced hiking.
What is the Vibram® TC5+ outsole?
Vibram® TC5+ is a high-performance rubber compound developed by Vibram, known for its durability, excellent grip, and multi-surface traction capabilities.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
These shoes offer good water resistance for typical hiking conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof unless specified as Gore-Tex or a similar waterproof membrane. For heavy rain or stream crossings, waterproof footwear is recommended.
What is the warranty on Merrell hiking shoes?
Merrell typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty terms can vary by region and retailer; please consult the official Merrell website or your point of purchase for detailed information.
How should I clean the blue fabric on the shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a mild soap with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, and always air dry them away from direct heat to preserve the materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause blisters.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different thicknesses of hiking socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider alternative lacing techniques or a different model.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Note that while the Vibram® TC5+ offers excellent grip, extreme conditions may still pose a challenge.
Feet feel overly warm or sweaty.
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow. Use moisture-wicking hiking socks. If the issue is persistent, consider a more heavily ventilated model.

Setup: These hiking shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size (this guide refers to UK 13) for optimal fit and comfort. It's recommended to wear them for short walks initially to break them in, if necessary, though their design often minimizes this need.

Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
