Why We Like The Merrell Moab Speed 2 Hiking Shoe
For running shoe comfort and agility with hiking boot support and protection, we look to the Merrell Moab Speed 2 Hiking Shoe. Now equipped with multi-directional Vibram lugs, this pair bites into soft earth and sticks to dirty rocks for confidence-boosting traction. The ripstop upper brushes off rugged conditions while letting our toes feel the breeze underneath, and the FlexPlate underfoot increases our lateral stability on uneven terrain to ward off turned ankles yet still allows forefoot flexion for comfortable climbing. No matter how far we go, the generous stack of foam pads the ground to keep our soles from getting sore.

National Park Approved
I wore the Moab Speed 2 shoes while hiking in Zion and Bryce Canyon, and they met my expectations. They’re lightweight yet sturdy, offering plenty of support for moderate hikes. The fit is excellent, with a roomy toe box that kept my feet comfortable on long days. Great combination of comfort, durability, and performance. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable hiking shoe.

Love the shoe
Love the shoe. The only drawback is my toes made contact where the mesh upper lining met the rubber lining, which was very annoying. Had to use mole skin to make that point of contact smooth. This shoes are very pretty.

Moab speed 2
I wore the Moab 2 for many years because of its great support and durability. I recently switched to the Moab speed 2. I still get the support of the Moab but the Moab speed is more flexible and seems to be better for my knees due to the flexibility.
