These are the lightest yet sturdiest and most comfortable hiking shoes I’ve ever worn! They are nice and wide in the toe box, have a well-cushioned sole and good ankle support. Looking forward to wearing them on the West Highland Way in Scotland in a couple of weeks.

I had such high hopes for these shoes but they do fall short in a few areas. Sole wise, they have great grip and I do not slip. I tested them by walking into a creek and they are DEFINITELY waterproof. They are comfy on 1-2 mile hikes but I worry for how they will be on long hikes, especially backpacking trips. They are pretty loose starting at the ankle on upwards causing the foot to slide around some. Also on the left shoe, because of the looseness, the side of the shoe digs into my body. I would worry it would cause sores or blisters. I want to love them but I need boots that can hold up for long haul multi day backpacking trips and I just don't think these can do that.

Versatile, Comfortable Boot

Love these boots! I started wearing these straight out of the box for my 2 week trip to Iceland. From city walks to hiking through snow, ice and creeks, these boots kept me warm, dry and comfortable. The GoreTex upper works extremely well, even when my foot got submerged in water. The traction was great for hiking up into the highlands and around the city. And the cushioning/materials kept my feet comfy and dry all day. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a versatile boot.

Absolutely love these hiking boots. First time switching up from Hoka Trail Runners (for hiking) and I’m stoked. I had zero issues with them. Very comfortable, great grip, they’re waterproof so you can wear year round & they have great ankle support.

Lightweight, roomy toe box, great ankle support
4 months ago
For an upcoming strenuous, 11-day hiking trip in Switzerland, I need a pair of waterproof boots with ankle support. My last ankle boots were REI brand and they've been discontinued. I was hoping to find some Oboz that would work b/c I have some Oboz light hikers that I like. In the past, I've also liked Vasque boots but REI doesn't seem to carry those anymore. All my past boots have in common that they have a roomy toe box, which I need because of a bunion at the base of my right great toe. The young lady who helped me in the Dublin store was very knowledgable and brought me about 6 pairs that fit my needs, including some Oboz and some more traditional looking Merrells. I struggled to decide between the traditional Merrells and these Moab Speed 2 boots. In the end, I went with the Moab Speed 2s. My first hike out, my feet felt hot and I was worried that the GoreTex was not breathable enough. Also, both my feet seemed to be swimming a bit in these size 8 shoes. (My street shoe size is usually 7.5 or sometimes 7). I tightened the laces quite a bit, so much that there is some puckering in the upper. In subsequent hikes including two times up and down Mt. Diablo - a 12 mile hike with some very steep sections and varied terrain including dirt, gravel, pavement, rocks, mud, running water, limestone, and sand. The boot performed great!! I have tried thinner and thicker socks and have not had any hot spots or blisters. No rubbing either. The top of my foot is not bothered by the tighter lacing, and I am still able to keep the toe box roomy for my bunion. Also, my feet have not been hot again after that first time. The tread had very good traction in varied conditions. Best of all, the boot is really light for its size. It feels more like a trail runner, but still has plenty of ankle support. I'm very happy with these boots. They are a great addition to my collection.

Finally found my match!

I took a chance and picked these up at a pre-owned sale. They were a half size bigger than I usually wear but they felt comfortable. I added my insoles and walked around the store and went up and down stairs for about 30 min and found them to be so comfortable. I needed waterproof and have struggled to find a truly waterproof boot but I have worn these on wet and muddy trails and I just went up for a hike in the snow and they performed very well. After 10 miles in the snow with spikes and then snowshoes I found that there was just the very slightest titch of dampness on my socks. So slight I'm not even sure I should call it anything. The outside of my shoes were definitely wet but the inside stayed remarkably dry! I wouldn't walk through a river but I felt really happy with their performance. I usually wear Altras for the wider toe box. These are very comfortable for my toes. The only thing I would say is I have slipped a couple of times on wet/rocky terrain in places I haven't slipped with other shoes so I am not 100% confident with the grip but knowing that I am a bit more cautious. I do feel I could wear a 7 in these, my usual size in hiking boots, but the 7.5 with my insoles are working well. No slipping in the heel. Hopefully they hold up!

Great lightweight boots!

These boots were comfortable from day one! After a 4 day backpack trip, I found the weight of these to be perfect! At the end of a long day, my legs didn’t feel heavy. I did replace the insoles right away as the ones they come with are pretty minimal.

another winner from merrell :) i have many merrell moab 2's & some 3's & i saw this design & thought i would try them........first off beautiful seafoam green color .............and they are really comfortable - very cushiony - lots of room (they are not narrow - in fact i could wear 2 socks & be good - but single sock is great too ) ...........as far as stability i would say not as stable as the moab 2 or 3 style which is more heavy duty - the moab speed style is super light weight & its kind of like a hiking tennis shoe.........its great for walks in the neighborhood , at a park , small hikes & maybe moderate hikes that are smaller hills & more flat trails...........personally i wouldnt do a heavy duty or really long hike in these - may not be stable enough but thats just my opinion - i prefer a good hard or stiffer boot for heavier hikes.................but over all lovin these new moab speed's !!!

Ankle Support is Not Good - Switching to Lowa
4 weeks ago
I recently bought these boots for a summer trip to Iceland. While I found the toe area comfortable, the ankle support was disappointing. I kept trying to relace them to secure my ankle more, but found the ankle support was not what it needed to be for an uneven terrain. I was very concerned that I may twist my ankle. They felt more like sneakers than hiking boots designed to provide ankle support.
