Mine are too big. They said order half size larger. Don't order the larger size as they suggest.

Poor fit
Originally posted on Merrell
No, I don't recommend this
I bought these shoes 2 weeks ago based on a previous Moab Speed purchase years ago. The time had arrived to replace the shoes (excellent fit). Based on that shoe size (9m), I placed another order. Unfortunately for me, I went straight to the gym and began my exercise routine. To my dismay the shoes were a horrible fit (too big). Merrell policy does not allow for a return on a used shoe so I am now stuck with an ill fitting shoe. BTW - I wear a size 9M in all my shoes. Thanks for allowing me to vent on a bad purchase.

great fit - 1/2 size up from my usual size.

Some Merrell's fit to my size and other styles do not. Why is that Mr. Merrell?

Lasted 2 years of manual labor

I bought mine almost 2 years ago now and I’ve used them every day since for hard manual labor. Only now are they starting to get holes and fall apart. I highly recommend.

Very comfortable, reasonable price, amd I liked the color. I have many Merrell hinking shoes amd they have mever let me down. Traction and tread wear have always been superior.

Great shoe but they don’t last
Originally posted on Merrell
Purchased these in November 2025. They are very comfortable however, the sole of the shoe has worn down now to the point that I have to replace them. Love the shoes but wish they would last longer. A little disappointed that they are wearing out so quickly.

Who Designed These Things?
Originally posted on Merrell
No, I don't recommend this
Probably the worst athletic/hiking/running shoe I've ever purchased. Length was correct in size 9.5 men's. However, the height of the toebox is so low that the tops of my toes rubs against the top of the toebox. Worn just once, they are simply unwearable. Every time I see them sitting on the shelf in the closet, I think "what a waist of money". Such a poorly designed shoe. BTW, this is the first negative review I've ever written on a shoe, and I own tons.

Husband loves these shoes! No breaking in time required! And, the laces don’t need to be double knitted.

Disappointed in Moab Speed 2
Originally posted on Merrell
I bought the Moab Speed 2 in April 2025...have worn them only a few times...and already the shoe webbing has snagged and pulled...every time I put them on I look at it and wonder why I spent so much money on these...guess that's why you went to leather...thought they were a quality outdoor shoe.

Moab Speed 2 vs walking/running shoes.
Originally posted on Merrell
I bought these to replace running shoes for casual and long distance walking. They are wider and more supportive, resulting in my feet being less sore and tired. I would definitely buy them again.

Sole is coming off after 3 months use
Originally posted on Merrell
No, I don't recommend this
Purchased august 2024. Only wore for about 3 months total. Shoes still look very new and soles hardly worn. Pulled out this year for first snow storm and noticed sole was coming unbonded. 20 year Merrell wearer but this will be my last unfortunately.

Disappointing Durability
Originally posted on Merrell
No, I don't recommend this
Purchased these in September and within a week the sole had already begun separating on the toe. Not a huge issue as it didn't seem to get much worse but now, a few months later both heels have begun deteriorating. With the heels wearing down the shoes become uncomfortable and hard to wear for more than a short walk. The same thing happened with my first pair of Moab Speeds but not until at least a year after purchase and daily wear. Disappointing as I really do like these shoes, they're comfortable and have great traction but I'd hesitate to recommend them given the durability issues.

Sleeker Alternative to Moab Vents
Originally posted on Merrell
After owning four pairs of Moab Vents, I decided to switch it up for something a little lighter and sleeker, and these definitely fit the bill. There is less lateral stability, the sides aren't made of suede, and there's less padding, but they definitely feel lighter, look sleeker, and are nicely cushioned. I'm hoping the additional mesh compared to the Moabs will make them airier in the summer. Knocking off one star because they seem to sit higher up on my ankles and the sides are a bit stiff, but as of now, that's my only complaint. Sizing was consistent compared to the Moab Vents. The soles are definitely just as rugged with good lugs and a comfortable drop.

Really the best
Originally posted on Merrell

What can I say about these shoes other than this is my sixth pair I love them. I hike them constantly. As long as it’s not snow they are grippy. I hike the northeast 115. I’ve climbed up rock faces. I’ve never had a blister. I’ve been wearing these for over two years. They are a complete game changer. I never have uncomfortable feet and I don’t slip on rock. I’ve taken these on 24 mile to versus in the white mountains Adirondacks and Maine. I still dance out of the woods after a long day.
