FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 waterproof?
This specific model (J037856) does not feature a waterproof membrane. It is designed for breathability. For waterproof options, consider Merrell's Gore-Tex variants.
What is the weight of the Moab Speed 2?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 weighs approximately 340 grams per shoe.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to Merrell's official sizing chart and measure your foot. It's also recommended to try the shoes on if possible, as fit can be personal.
Can I use these for trail running?
While inspired by trail running innovations, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes offering more support and cushioning than typical trail running shoes. They can handle moderate trail running for shorter distances.
What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and previous Moab models?
The Moab Speed 2 features an increased amount of underfoot foam for enhanced comfort, improved traction with a new Vibram TC5+ outsole design, and enhanced breathability inspired by Merrell's trail running line.
Is there arch support in these shoes?
The shoes are designed with integrated support features, including a contoured footbed and heel counter. However, for significant arch support needs, consider adding custom insoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause rubbing.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different thicknesses of hiking socks. A short break-in period might resolve minor discomfort.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. The Vibram TC5+ rubber provides excellent grip, but extreme conditions can still challenge any footwear.
Feet feel warm or sweaty.
While breathable, prolonged strenuous activity in very hot weather can still lead to moisture. Consider moisture-wicking socks. Ensure the shoes are not laced too tightly, restricting airflow.
