FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Hiking Shoes are designed with water-repellent features, but they are not fully waterproof. They offer resistance to light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion may lead to wetness.
What is the best way to break in these hiking shoes?
Wear them around the house for a few hours, then take them on short walks. Gradually increase the distance and duration of your hikes to allow the shoes to conform to your foot shape.
How do I clean the green mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
They are ideal for a variety of trails including dirt paths, gravel, and moderate rocky terrain. They offer good performance for day hikes and faster-paced walks.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired.
What is the difference between the Moab Speed 2 and the original Moab Speed?
The Moab Speed 2 builds upon the original with refined athletic performance insights and updated construction for enhanced trail speed and comfort.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Merrell typically offers a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to the official Merrell warranty information for specifics.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Allow for a break-in period of several short hikes. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, check if the size is correct.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. For persistent issues on very slick surfaces, consider your hiking conditions and the shoe's limitations.
Feet feel damp after a hike.
This could be due to sweat or external moisture. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow. If the shoes are saturated, allow them ample time to dry completely before the next use.
