Moab Speed 2 Waterproof Walking Boots

Holy cow-what an incredible shoe! I am not an outdoorsy person. My job is on a school bus with snowy, wet stairs chasing after two dozen young people. I needed protection for my feet, durability for my wallet and slip resistance for my bones! This shoe solves ALL of those issues. Today it’s snowy and icy in New Jersey. My MOAB Speed 2s are laughing at this weather. I ordered exactly my size and feel it is precisely what I needed. Keep in mind, with a shoe like this you are going to wear a thicker, heavier sock. I would buy this shoe OR any other MERRELL shoe in a heart beat.

Lightweight and comfortable - these were great on some difficult hikes I did in Yosemite. Lots of grip and comfort. I’ll be taking these to Arizona next and using with microspikes.

After a full year of daily wear as an electrical lineman, and hiking on weekends, I feel equipped to give a good honest review of these boots under harsh wear. After a year (of my wear), they are toast. I have accelerated the wear by not treating them solely as hiking boots. However, in this time here is what I have learned. The glue holding the sole on near the toe is the first thing to go. Both of my boots had to be reglued much too early. They are incredibly comfortable and versatile. They look fantastic. The soles are much softer than a moab 3, but that’s by design, not a flaw. Just something to consider for longevity’s sake. Waterproofing did not last long in my experience. After a year of abuse, I have another new pair in my locker at work waiting on me when these finally give out. The soles are glued on and the tread is almost entirely gone but I’m seeing how long I can stretch them. To have been essentially abused, I’m very impressed. Consider my review a torture test. My brand new pair that’s waiting on me also has a weakly glued toe though, so that is a design flaw. Overall though, great boot. When these blow out I’ll grab my new pair and give them another go.

Great light, comfortable, and grippy boots! Early days but am enjoying wearing them out so far on the trails, now in snow, keeping me warm but not hot so far.

Have had these for a little less then a year. Wear them for work in law enforcement. I switch out my boots so I don't wear them every day. The soles/tread is already worn down. The "waterproof" Gor-Tex is not actually water proof. These are my 1st Gor-Tex boots and they are not what I expected

Hate these boots. Really narrow in the middle, like foot is being squeezed. Toe box is wide enough but boot is long and pointy. Had the speed strike 2 non goretex before these and they were very comfortable, just not durable. I hate putting these on every day. Have had 8 Merrell boots in the last 5 years, either they're comfortable and last 6 months or they're uncomfortable and I suffer for 6 months until they fall apart. The boots are not durable anymore.

I'm a letter carrier with Canada Post. I have been wearing Merrell Hiking Shoes and Mid's for 10 years now. These are my new favorites for spring and fall conditions. I walk typically 20,000 plus steps per day. This particular Mid shoe is now my #1. I will be ordering a second pair.

Bought them in a pre-black Friday sale at a great price. Tried them on our local trail and they are light, comfortable and great looking. Add the Goretex for waterproofing and it’s a winning combination for me. This is my third pair of MOABs and they never disappoint.

Nice and light but the most uncomfortable hiker I have ever had from Merrill. Hope it will break in and become more comfortable

I always start by just wearing hikers to church on Sundays, I just recently started distance distance in them. They are super comfortable and nice and light. I got this pair because I hike over 15 miles every day and I am seriously considering jogging lately. These shoes I hope will inspire me to jog

I have found this mid boot to be the most comfortable so far. Due to back/leg/foot issues I try different inserts to make a shoe comfortable. I found by removing the Merrell insert and putting in 2 different Dr Scholl's, Air-Pillow and Extra Comfort it made this boot comfortable for me. I'm ready for my Ireland and Israel trips next year.

I do not recommend this product due to a design flaw in the lacing system. I purchased these hiking boots approximately three weeks ago and have worn them only a few times. During one of my hikes, the rivet on the right boot became entangled with the laces on the left boot, causing me to trip. Fortunately, I was using trekking poles and was able to prevent a fall. Upon inspection, I also noticed that the rivet had torn away from the right side of the boot. Given the limited use and the nature of the issue, this raises serious concerns about the product’s safeness and reliability.

This is my second pair of Merrell high top hiking boots. Both have been amazingly comfortable to wear any where for long periods. This Moab binds well to my foot and ankle to keep me steady on uneven surfaces. My first adventure with them was to Blue Ridge Parkway where I hiked over wet boulders, roots, mud and sand. Never slipped or tripped going up and down 50 degree slopes. I am a life long believer in Merrell foot wear

I have been wearing these shoes for the last three weeks hiking ing ND, MT, ID, UT & CO. Great support and traction for moderate to difficult trails. Very pleased with hiking shoe.
