Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Leather Mid Waterproof is designed for adult males seeking a modern, stylish, and high-performance hiking shoe for the fall season. Its key benefit is the blend of premium nubuck leather with a waterproof membrane, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable on the trails. A potential consideration is that while offering robust protection, the leather upper may require a break-in period for optimal comfort. This shoe features a mixed-material upper, waterproof membrane, recycled components, and a Vibram TC5+ outsole for superior traction.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While waterproof and designed for fall, they are best suited for light winter conditions. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider insulated winter hiking boots.
How do I clean the nubuck leather exterior?
Use a specialized nubuck cleaner or a soft brush to remove dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by air drying. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram TC5+ outsole?
The Vibram TC5+ outsole is designed to provide enhanced traction on a variety of surfaces and effectively sheds debris, helping to maintain grip and stability during your hike.
Can I replace the included EVA footbed with my own orthotics?
Yes, the EVA foam footbed is removable and designed to be replaced with custom orthotics or other insoles for personalized support and comfort.
How long does the waterproofing typically last?
The lifespan of the waterproof membrane depends on usage and care. Regular cleaning and occasional re-treatment of the leather can help maintain its effectiveness. Avoid prolonged submersion.
Are the recycled materials used in this shoe durable?
Yes, the recycled laces, webbing, and parts of the footbed are integrated into the shoe's construction without compromising durability or performance. They contribute to a more sustainable product.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after hiking in wet conditions.
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress. Check that the waterproof membrane is intact and that no visible tears or damage are present. Allow shoes to dry completely before next use.
Slight discomfort or rubbing during initial wear.
The leather upper may require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to gradually mold them to your feet. Consider wearing thicker hiking socks during the break-in phase.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces.
Ensure the Vibram outsole is free from mud, debris, or ice. If wear is evident on the sole, it may be time to consider replacement. Clean the outsole thoroughly after each use.
Difficulty removing or inserting the EVA footbed.
Gently pull the footbed straight out. If it's stuck, ensure there is no debris underneath. When reinserting, align it correctly within the shoe's base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Clean the leather and textile parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and compromise the waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: For best results, periodically re-treat the leather with a waterproofing product suitable for nubuck leather to maintain its water resistance. Ensure any product used is compatible with the waterproof membrane.
