Merrell Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX Men's Walking Boots

The Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX is Merrell's latest innovation in hiking. This new and improved generation pairs the knowledge and trail insights from the best-selling hiking boot, the Moab, with the latest innovations from athletic hikers across the globe.

Nylon Ripstop and TPU Upper

Designed to provide comfort and protection, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 has been constructed with a lightweight Nylon ripstop and TPU upper. The Nylon structure provides lightweight breathability and protection to keep your feet safe on rocky terrains. Acting as a lightweight second skin, the upper ensures you can go the distance comfortably. Perforations in the fabric encourage cool air to circulate, removing uncomfortable heat build-up to create a healthy environment for your feet to thrive in. TPU overlays have been strategically placed on the upper to provide durability and support where needed the most. The reinforcements wrap the foot in lightweight support to promote a secure fit that resists wear and tear. To avoid damp feet and therefore dampened spirits, a GORE-TEX membrane resides inside the boot and integrates with the upper to supply a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling. GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside, keeping sweat to a minimum and you cool and comfy. A padded collar reduces the risk of chafing and irritation, while the protective heel and toe caps help to protect feet from loose debris and uneven surfaces. Dual heel and tongue loops assist in putting the boots on and off, while a Cleansport NXT treatment prevents the growth of odour-causing microbes, keeping the boots fresh for longer. Recycled mesh lining and webbing provide an eco-friendly yet highly breathable option. Completing the upper is a bellows tongue that seals out debris and a traditional lacing system (with recycled laces) locks down the midfoot for distraction-free strides, and prevents in-boot slipping.

FloatPro Foam Midsole

Within the midsole, Merrell's signature FloatPro Foam has been used to ensure a light, durable ride. The midsole ensures ample underfoot cushioning to reduce the impact placed upon the feet on tough trails whilst remaining as lightweight as possible, so you'll never feel weighed down. The lightweight midsole offers supreme cushioning and support to key areas like the arch and heel, securing the foot for a smoother transition and wear. By supporting these key areas of the foot, the midsole material can also help to offer enough support to prevent discomfort and possible injury. Also residing in the midsole is a lightweight FlexPlate which provides torsional rigidity, lateral stability and forefoot flexibility. A 50% recycled EVA footbed with a 100% recycled mesh cover provides step-in plushness.

Vibram TC5+ Outsole

Engineered using a Vibram TC5+ outsole, the Moab Speed provides extreme grip and traction for all surface wear. Developed for slippery terrain, the extremely durable rubber can form a solid bond with the ground to anchor you in place. Despite facing abuse from rough ground, the rubber stands up against this, deflecting the blows and retaining a strong shape and structure. The durable rubber provides a strong grip on the most challenging terrain; it works to protect itself from damage and protect users from losing control and slipping. Vibram traction lugs also feature and have been specifically designed to increase traction and shed debris with each step.
