Description
The Merrell Women’s Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX delivers trail-ready performance with the comfort of modern running footwear—blending support, cushioning, and dependable waterproof protection into a sleek, athletic silhouette.
Trail Innovation Meets Comfort
Developed using insights from both Merrell’s bestselling Moab boot line and its Test Lab trail running series, this model incorporates a substantial upgrade in midsole cushioning—now featuring approximately 30% more foam underfoot—for plush landings without sacrificing ground feel or responsiveness. The result: a smooth, energized stride on varied terrain.
Uncompromising Waterproof Protection
Equipped with the trusted GORE-TEX membrane, these booties keep your feet wholly dry while allowing moisture to escape. Whether you’re traversing wet underbrush or damp trails, the GORE-TEX barrier offers unbeatable waterproofing without impeding breathability.
Stable, Lightweight Support
At just over 10.5 ounces per shoe, the design offers exceptional trail agility. A lightweight FlexPlate™ adds core support and torsional rigidity, ensuring stability through twists and turns. Meanwhile, the full-length rock plate helps shield feet from uneven surfaces and jagged trail debris.
Grip That Goes the Distance
The traction-focused outsole utilizes Vibram® TC5+ rubber—a formula developed especially for Merrell. Multi-directional lugs are strategically placed to enhance grip and self-clean with each step, empowering secure movement across dirt, gravel, and wet surfaces.
Trail-Ready Comfort Features
A padded collar and debris-blocking bellows tongue cradle your foot comfortably while preventing grit from entering. Durable toe and heel caps shield vulnerable areas, and dual loops at the heel and tongue provide easy-on convenience and gear-clip compatibility. Plus, Cleansport NXT™ treatment addresses odor naturally, and recycled materials throughout the design reflect Merrell’s commitment to responsible manufacturing.
