Troubleshooting
Water entering the boot during stream crossings
Check that the gusseted tongue is properly centered and the laces are securely tied, and ensure the water level does not exceed the height of the boot collar.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the boots for shorter distances on flat terrain to break in the leather and ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks.
Accumulated dirt on the outsole
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to clear debris from between the Vibram lugs to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Moab Speed 2 boots, proper care is essential. Since the upper is constructed from leather, avoid machine washing. Instead, wipe clean with a damp cloth after each outing to remove acidic mud or grime that can degrade the material. If the boots become saturated, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and dry out the leather. The boots feature a standard lace-up system; ensure the tongue is pulled straight and the laces are cinched evenly to leverage the gusseted tongue’s full protection. The removable PU foam insole can be taken out to air out after long treks or replaced with custom orthotics if required.
