FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 waterproof?
The standard Moab Speed 2 features a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation, not waterproofing. For waterproof options, Merrell offers Gore-Tex variants in the Moab line.
How do I determine the right size?
Merrell hiking shoes typically run true to size. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the Merrell size chart. Trying them on with your usual hiking socks is also advisable.
What is the main difference between Moab Speed 2 and older Moab models?
The Moab Speed 2 incorporates more athletic, lightweight design elements and enhanced cushioning (30% more foam) compared to traditional, more robust Moab hiking boots, along with updated Vibram TC5+ traction.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While they incorporate trail running innovations, the Moab Speed 2 is primarily designed as a hiking shoe. They offer good grip and cushioning for faster hiking or light trail running, but dedicated trail running shoes may offer more specialized features.
What is the weight of the Merrell Moab Speed 2?
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 weighs approximately 340 grams per shoe (based on a men's size 9).
How often should I clean my hiking shoes?
It's best to clean your hiking shoes after particularly muddy or dirty hikes to prevent dirt from damaging the materials. Regular spot cleaning can be done as needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, the lacing may need adjustment, or the size might not be suitable for your foot shape.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
While the Vibram TC5+ offers excellent grip, all outsoles can experience reduced traction on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Clean the outsole of debris to maximize grip.
Feet feel unusually warm or wet
The breathable mesh helps with ventilation, but high-intensity activity or very humid conditions can still lead to warmth. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If water ingress is the issue, consider a waterproof variant if available.
