Moab Speed 2 GTX Walking Shoes

A great balanced shoe for everyday to not-super-rugged hiking. I'm on my second pair of this shoe and now getting a 3rd pair. I wore my second pair on an almost every day basis on the job site plus hiking on the weekends and even did the Rayburn Trek (and similar) with them. I am happy that I wore them down and can't wait for my replacement pair to arrive. I have very bad feet from growing up going barefoot. These shoes fit great, molded to my foot nicely and are a great balance of not too soft, not too hard. I have never had rubbing issues and appreciate the Gore-Tex keeping my feet dry.

I needed to add a half to full size to my regular hiking shoes (11). Half for thin hiking socks. Full for heavier socks.

I have owned several pair of these for walking and outdoor activities. They are a good product except the sizing runs small. Sizing up is fine unless you wear a size 12, going up a full size means they are too large. Please provide all size options.

I find the fit a bit long and a bit to flexible. There is a lot of give and not as firm a fit as I would like. In the last year and a half I have purchased four pair of Merrill shoe designs and own five pair total.

Bought these for a trip to Iceland that included both easy and difficult hikes. They worked great! Waterproof, durable, and comfortable.

Bought these for trip to Colorado. These are by far the best hiking shoes I’ve ever bough. So comfortable and durable. The grip was incredible for some pretty steep hiking. My feet never ached or hurt one time during the 30 plus miles we hiked. This was also my first pair of Merrell’s. Based on these shoes I’ll definitely be looking for more Merrells to add to my collection.

These hiking shoes worked great! Wore them on a trip to Norway and they were comfortable and kept my feet dry in the cold glacial streams!

After wearing them for one day, the collar of the shoe rubbed against the bone below my left ankle and caused a painful blister.

I am enjoying using my new moabs on the disc golf course. The cushioning is great and the waterproof gortex is wonderful.

Helped finish my training, took me to accomplish 3 14'kers in CO.

These shoes got me through a two-week trek through Peru, including the Andes and of course Machu Picchu. Dry, wet, level, rocky and everything in between with a ton of life still left in them. Didn’t need anything else.

I have a wide forefoot, so finding comfortable shoes is always a challenge. These were my first pair of Merrells, and I was nervous about ordering them online before a trip to Alaska, but they fit perfectly after a simple lace adjustment. I wore them comfortably all day on hiking trails and around town, and I highly recommend them for anyone even with wider feet.

I think they are the most comfortable shoes I've owned. I put an insert in from another pair of Merrells that gave me more support, and that worked well. I think the height of the toe box is also a factor for comfort. The Gore-tex lining allows breathing. Just came back from a trip to Greece and wore them throughout my stay.

The Moab Speed 2 Gor-Tex has a lot going for it. Very comfortable, lightweight, great traction for various hiking terrain. Why the 3/5 rating then? First a minor criticism: the laces are ridiculously short! Had to buy longer laces to be able to get the desired fit and get them to stay tied. But the huge disappointment? Absolutely NOT waterproof!! I specifically chose the version with Gor-Tex for their water resistance and was sorely disappointed, while on a 200-mile hike, to discover how wet my feet were! Thankfully, I had another pair of waterproof hiking shoes by another brand that did provide as advertised that I wore for the rest of my hike whenever rain was in the forecast. So, while I love these shoes for dry hiking, I do not recommend them if you are looking specifically for something that will provide you with water resistance.
