Construction and intended use
Merrell Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX
The Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX takes the Moab name in a lighter, more athletic direction for hikers who value an easier stride.
- Quicker hiking pace
- Lighter packs
- Wet maintained routes
What to check when trying it on
A fast-feeling upper should still hold the heel firmly; test side steps and descents before choosing it for rough ground.

What to check when trying it on

Compare instep pressure, flex and heat in the same socks rather than choosing by upper appearance alone.
For a broader starting point, compare hiking boots and match them to your route.
