Italian hikes

Awesome medium hiking shoe. Put them on for the first time going to Italy and hiked about 120 miles in them across all kinds of terrain. Great support, grip, and stability. They are now resting comfortably for my next adventure to Portugal.

Best home king shoe I’ve purchased in a while!

Love these shoes!! I was able to get them on a Black Friday deal which made them reasonably priced. Comfy shoe, easy break in and waterproof as advertised. My only gripe and I have skinny feet is I need thicker socks or the heel slips a little. I wear hiking socks so that didn’t matter to me. I have walked through streams, mud, snow, and had dry feet the rest of the day. The gortex is breathable, my feet didn’t sweat and stayed warm. The traction is great. I walked down a steep trail that had smooth rocks from a river and the traction was great. I would definetly recommend these shoes and I will buy another pair when these wear out.

Horrible

I had these delivered for about a week now, wearing them on a daily work day, and Speed 2 Gore-Tex are the most uncomfortable sneaker style Merrells I have had. Not only is the support lack, if you are not double layer socked, they are going to tear your feet up. For whatever reason the fabric on the top of the shoe’s roughness goes right through to your toes and tears them apart. The shoe is not well made either, the seams are already crunching apart. I love Merrell but these are not a recommended shoe. Sorry guys

Flexible secure comfort

Been hiking for years with the Moab 3s(light to moderate) -- there's so much love there. Found these Speed 2s and decided to try for easy casual walking trails, with a little more flex. Genius shoe. Auditioned them at Sitka Sedge, gorgeous estuary with no difficulty and lots of casual walking comfort among the birders. Easy trail and sand doesn't really need more than a sneaker, but these guys are super sure footed and almost paddle through the sand trail sections. Can't wait to really test them, but on their first go over a few miles of light terrain they're super "sneaker-like comfy", yet secure. They definitely want to run.

Top quality hikers!

These are by far one of the most comfortable, supportive, and stylish hikers I have ever worn. Merrell knocked it out of the park with the Moab Speed 2. They breathe exceptionally well even with the GoreTex and the Vibram rubber provides stable cushioning. I have played a ton of disc golf in them the past several months and they have held up incredibly well, showing very little wear in areas more prone to damage. My only complaint is that I wish I had of known there was an asphalt color option!!!

Great Versatile Waterproof Casual Trail Shoe

Great lightweight waterproof shoe that is fashionable enough to wear with anything, but also rugged enough to handle some light trails. This is definitely not a hiking boot, but delivers a lot of versatility. Feet can get hot with the Gore-tex lining, but not bad with the right socks. Wore these on and off throughout Europe for a few weeks. Held up very well and highly recommend.

Not even 40 miles!

I bought this recently and I am terribly disappointed. It is coming apart already and I have not even hiked 30 miles yet. I can hardly believe it. As expensive as this shoe is, it should not be coming apart so soon. See attached picture.

Disappointed

I purchased these about six weeks ago and after wearing them a number of times, I find that they are becoming more and more uncomfortable. I had read a review somewhere that spoke of the heel being higher than the forefoot. I didn’t pay much attention to it unfortunately, but I think that’s the case. It seems the foot is always sliding forward, causing the toes to hit the front. I’m l constantly hitting my heel on the ground to move my foot back in the shoe. After six weeks, I’m pretty much done with these. Too bad, as they were expensive. They replaced an older pair of Gore-Tex Merrell’s that I had for years. I can’t recommend these new ones.
