FAQs
Are these shoes 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 the fit with your preferred hiking socks is recommended.
How waterproof are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 hiking shoes?
These shoes are constructed with waterproof materials, designed to keep your feet dry from external moisture like rain and shallow water crossings. However, they are not designed for submersion.

How long should I expect the break-in period to be?
The break-in period can vary, but typically a few shorter walks or hikes are sufficient for the shoes to start molding to your foot shape for optimal comfort.
What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
Moisture-wicking hiking socks made from wool or synthetic blends are recommended to complement the shoe's performance and keep your feet comfortable and dry.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort during initial wear
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.
Reduced water resistance over time
Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray or treatment designed for leather and waterproof membranes. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry before application.
Loss of traction on slippery surfaces
While designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces can challenge any footwear. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that might impede traction. Consider replacing the shoes if the tread is significantly worn.

Care:
