Moab Speed 2 Leather Walking Shoes

Got these in low top. These are great! Coming off a pair of Moab 2 lows for hiking I feel these are a definite upgrade in looks and comfort. I think Merrell hit the nail on the head with the styling, I actually am tempted just to wear these as a daily without hiking in them, I don't want to get them dirty! They look fantastic with jeans. Also note that these leather ones are more comfortable than the Speed 2 Goretex version...I tried on that pair and the cut outs for the ankle were higher and rubbed my ankle. There is no rubbing on these, however they are slightly heavier than the Speed 2 goretex. I imagine because this uses leather.

These shoes are great as my daily workshoes on the dock or out landscaping. Great traction on multiple surfaces even if a little wet. Vibram tech on the sole keeps you going strong on the most rugged terrain. The leather material keeps your feet dry and adds durability to the shoe, but it does not provide breathability like other materials. I highly recommend these shoes for specific use, but if you plan to use them for extending hiking, I would choose a fabric material so you feet can breathe and not get overheated.

I have an identical pair in green synthetic fabric and they fit and feel great. I bought this pair thinking it would be good to have a leather, waterproof pair. This pair feels drastically different from the fabric pair. I thought that maybe the leather might take some break-in time, but this pair is so tight and uncomfortable even after several weeks that I am starting to wonder if the size is mislabeled. This is a shame, as the construction otherwise seems quite good. I will call to ask about returning them

Laces to small, lightweight to get a good fastened fit. Heel to high - causing shines and calf pain

very bad design and broke my foot, not all comfort

Well made shoe—only thing I noticed is a slight heel lift on one of my feet. All in all shoe fits tire to size and is comfortable

Took them up to Loon Mountain in Lincoln, New Hampshire - Walked all day never an issue

I've always loved Merrell shoes and I do love the Moab Speed 2s I purchased and if I was to change anything it would be I should've ordered a half-size bigger, I ordered a 9.5 but should've gone for a size 10, they are a little tight but I think over time they will stretch. They don't cause discomfort unless I tie my shoes really tight so I avoid doing that. The only other thing is that the laces are too short I find.

I have purchased Merrell hiking shoes and boots for years and have never been disappointed. This is the first time I purchased this type of shoe and am extremely happy with the performance thus far. They fit well are light weight and made with quality materials. Time will tell how they perform overall.

After a horrible experience with the migrating foam in the footbed of a previous leather-upper Merrell, this was a gamble... but so far it's been great. Incredible cushioning, great fit. A few unexplainable hard spots on the uppers noticeable only on steep side-hills. Now on to the desert sand.

These shoes are really great, great cushioning, great materials and a great look, but they are too narrow for my feet, everything about them is premium. Wish they came in a wide /extra wide other wise a great shoe
