FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 waterproof?
This specific model, the Moab Speed 2, is designed with breathability in mind and is not explicitly waterproof. For waterproof options, Merrell offers other models within the Moab line that feature GORE-TEX or other waterproof membranes.
How do these compare to the original Moab boots?
The Moab Speed 2 is a lighter, more athletic-inspired shoe compared to the traditional Moab boots. It offers enhanced cushioning and breathability, making it ideal for faster-paced hikes, while Moab boots typically provide more robust support for heavier loads and rugged terrain.
What is the main advantage of the Vibram TC5+ rubber?
Vibram TC5+ rubber is a high-performance compound specifically formulated for Merrell, offering a balance of grip, durability, and traction across various surfaces, including wet and dry conditions.
Can I wear these for casual walking?
Yes, you can wear them for casual walking, but their design, with enhanced traction lugs and a rock plate, is optimized for trail performance. For purely urban or flat terrain, they might offer more grip and cushioning than strictly necessary.
How much do the Merrell Moab Speed 2 shoes weigh?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 has a weight of approximately 340 grams per shoe (based on a men's size, actual weight may vary slightly by size and color).
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Merrell typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Merrell warranty information for specific details and duration, as it can vary by region and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using different thickness socks.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the Vibram TC5+ offers excellent grip, extremely wet or slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris, as this can affect performance.
Feet feel warm or sweaty
Though designed for breathability, prolonged high activity in hot conditions can still lead to warmth. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Allow shoes to air out thoroughly after use.
