Moab Speed 2 Leather Walking Shoes

Purchased for my son who logs many miles in all kinds of weather. He has lived in Coastal Alaska, so needs rugged, waterproof hiking shoes. His only feedback, needed to add some cushioning for full comfort.

The leather has an unusual finish that emphasizes 💦 water proof over 🫁 breathability. The Nova 4 shoes take the opposite strategy. The sole is bouncy, almost like a Hoka. Until the snow ❄️ melts, my favorite is the Merrell Moab speed 2 Goretex 6 inch boot 🥾🥾.🤞🤠

They run small and no return if worn. I’ve been wearing this brand shoe for years now and this is the first that didn’t fit correctly.

Very comfortable shoes and very stylish. Wear them in the snow and keep my feet warm.

Firm and stable support. I have flat feet. These are great. Took them on a hiking trip perfect to wear every day and as a backup to my trusty Moab's for hiking.

I will buy another type of shoe or boot in Merrell products.

great fit and solid shoe. Delivered speedily, good price.

Very disappointed in this shoe. I bought a pair of the Moab Speed 1 or early model of 2 a few years back & was very impressed w/the shoe. Still have them but worn out so I thought I’d buy a pair of the newer version. Bad choice. Shoe is very stiff, very uncomfortable & not made like the others. My heels come up out of shoe almost all the way on each step & if you lace them up tight for that not to happen, it hurts the top of your foot. Not to mention the elastic piece that is sewn across the top of the tongue that gets in the way of the laces was such a bad idea that I had to remove it. Not Merrell’s best work. I’ve been a loyal, faithful supporter for years & will continue to be but this shoe missed the mark badly. Not tryin to bash you guys because I love your shoes & have had many pairs over years but this model is not good. On the other end of the spectrum, the Moab 2 mids I bought @ same time are ABSOLUTELY UNSTOPPABLE.

1 month in and they are already coming apart at the sole

Very sturdy hiking/walking shoe. I believe it is equivalent to some of the expensive Lowa boots I have had over the years.

VERY uncomfortable. Tried to return and was denied

Nice looking shoe but having heels feel like they are slipping out of the shoes. Having a hard time getting used to them. I have had Merrell shoes for the last 5 years and never been disappointed. I walk 5 miles a day with my dog so I go through a pair of shoes once a year.

Merrills alway fit me well. For some reason the inside lining is usually the first part to wear out and I wish that part were sturdier but they fit so well I just go get another pair. In this case I got a pair in black and they could serve as dress shoes in a pinch.Ed

Good runner. I knew it would be a little tight before I purchased it because I have wide feet. No concerns.
