About this product
Moab Performance, Built for Pace
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX takes the trusted Moab platform and pushes it toward faster, more agile movement on the trail - a nylon ripstop and TPU upper keeps the construction lightweight and responsive while GORE-TEX waterproofing and a bellows tongue handle whatever the weather and terrain throw at it. FlexPlate technology in the midsole provides torsional rigidity and lateral stability without sacrificing forefoot flexibility, giving the shoe a dynamic, trail-running-influenced feel that sets it apart from a traditional hiking shoe. A 50% recycled EVA footbed, 100% recycled laces and lining, and a fully vegan-friendly construction make the Moab Speed 2 GTX one of Merrell's most eco-conscious builds in the hiking category.

Why You'll Love Them
FlexPlate is the feature that makes the Moab Speed 2 feel different underfoot from a standard hiking shoe - it stiffens the midsole laterally for stability on uneven ground while allowing the forefoot to flex naturally through each stride, a balance that rewards hikers who move at a quicker pace. The vegan-friendly construction means no animal-derived materials are used anywhere in the shoe, making it a strong choice for those who want performance footwear that aligns with their values. The combination of 100% recycled laces and lining with a 50% recycled footbed gives the Moab Speed 2 GTX one of the more thorough recycled materials profiles in the Merrell hiking lineup.
