What you need to know about Merrell Moab Speed 2
Merrell was founded in 1981 by Clark Matis, John Schweizer, and Randy Merrell in the United States. The business began by making high-performance hiking boots and later extended its line to shoes, apparel, and outdoor accessories.
Everyone from hikers to guide services to recreational walkers buy these Moab models because of their grip on various terrain and the comfort on moderate trails. The Merrell Moab Speed 2 sits alongside similar mid and low variants, and pairs well with relaxed tracksuit bottoms for travel or exercise.
Merrell sells hiking shoes, trail runners, boots, and accessories. The Moab Speed 2 is offered in waterproof Gore-Tex and unlined options. The padded insoles, profiled rubber outsoles, and toe reinforcement work well on long, looped runs.
Moab Speed 2 by Merrell cuts, linings, and feel
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 comes in ankle-low, mid-top, and high-top profiles. The ankle models favour lightweight workouts and flexibility. The mid and high versions add collar padding and extra ankle support for when you’re pushing yourself a little harder.
For a waterproof option, pick the Moab Speed 2 by Merrell GTX for a variant that uses a waterproof membrane, removable padded insoles, and a FloatPro Foam in the midsole to reduce weight while keeping cushioning the same.
The uppers mix netting panels with suede or synthetic covers to protect against abrasion, and the shoe comes in various colours and sizes. If you’re looking for a casual, around-the-town look, grab a pair of dungarees and get going.
How to pair Moab Speed 2 for trails, travel, and recovery
Use the Merrell Moab Speed 2 with tapered hiking trousers or trail shorts and midweight wool socks during day hikes, and pick zipped pockets on the trousers if you have small items with you to keep safe.
For travel-day comfort, wear them with chinos, a comfortable tee, and one of these compact men’s designer hoodies.
