Lacing these up for their second use and the loop separated from the shoe. Looking closely, it only appears as if there was one thread attaching it in the first place. Yikes! I've had great experiences with Merrell's in the past. Not sure if these were assembled in a new factory, quality control missed it, or if it is just bad luck. Disappointed and only good thing is that it happened right after receiving versus further down the road.
I bought one pair and liked them so much I bought a second. A bit pricey, but the tan color was on sale. Great fit - combines excellent cushioning with great support. Super comfortable traversing steep, difficult terrain. And waterproof. Note I bought the second pair not due to wear. But rather because Merrell sometimes changes shoes so much from season to season that a shoe you love one year may be a total non-option in its next version. Witness what Merrell did to ruin the Chameleon in out years
I have bought several pairs of Merrell Moab 2 low shoes. Extremely comfortable, but I would never consider them a true hiking shoe. More like a street boot. BUT, the Speed 2 is a whole different animal. I purchased the leather, waterproof mid boots and they are EXTREMELY comfortable and feel sure footed on the trail.
