The waterproof Gore-Tex lining keeps your feet dry in damp conditions, while the lightweight mesh upper enhances breathability without sacrificing support.
Key specifications and features
The trainers feature a synthetic and mesh upper for quick drying and durability, combined with a molded nylon arch shank that provides stability on uneven terrain. The EVA midsole cushions each step with a balance of softness and responsiveness, and the Vibram® Megagrip outsole offers excellent traction on both wet and dry surfaces.
Designed with a standard cut fit, these shoes accommodate most foot shapes comfortably without feeling overly tight or loose. The charcoal color gives a versatile, understated look that pairs well with outdoor and casual wear alike.
Users will appreciate the thoughtful lace-up system that ensures a secure fit, along with the molded heel and tongue for enhanced comfort during prolonged use. Cleaning them is straightforward—simply brush off dirt and air dry; no special care is needed.
Usage and final thoughts
Ideal for fast-paced trail runs or multi-day hikes where weight and protection matter, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX strikes a good balance between speed and durability. While not as plush as some heavier hiking boots, they excel in responsiveness and keep feet comfortable even on rocky paths.
Overall, these trainers are a solid pick if you want waterproof performance with a lightweight feel for varied outdoor adventures.
