Merrell mqm flex 2 review
Your feet might seem a little hot on scorching days, but many seemed to find their feet adjust to a cooler, comfortable temperature in no time.ĭon't be surprised if you find the Moab Speed runs a little on the large side, so you may want to go down half a size. After that, slopping through torrential rain, crossing streams, and even canoeing shouldn't be a problem. You'll never stay comfortable with soggy feet, so rejoice as the famous Gore-Tex membrane does a stellar job of keeping your tootsies dry. There's also plenty of arch support without needing to add an insole. Many crafty features create this comfort, and the long list includes a padded collar, protected toe cap, EVA foam insole, foam midsole and thick 10mm drop.
Many reviewers and I found the Moab Speed extremely comfortable for long walks and all-day hikes on cement, asphalt, loose dirt, mud, or rocky paths. Merrell promises comfort, and blimey do they deliver. I've had many a shoe that's left me with rubbed, red toes and blistered bloody heels, so it's always good to find a shoe that doesn't need any wearing in. There's an easy and secure lace-up system, a fabric pull-on tab on the heel, and a heel cup ridge for kicking off the mud to make walking and running simple.Īs standard with Merrell hikers, you'll experience out-of-the-box comfort. Never fear the newest Merrell hiking low-top has other great features. Be brave as the Moab Speed lets you twist and turn down difficult descents, move through muddy slopes, bound out of boggy fields and ricochet over rocky cliffs with all the stability and support you'll need. But most importantly, stress-free hikes are possible because of the super-grippy Vibram traction 4mm lug outsole, which provides optimum traction and stability. Trail running push-offs and a fast pace is effortless with a forefoot that has an easy flex. Rocks, stones, and other debris are inconsequential with this torsional stiffness. There are so many brilliant features that make the Merrell Moab Speed simple to use under pretty much any circumstance.įirstly, ample cushioning from the FloatPro Foam™ midsole sits in conjunction with an internal rock plate, allowing easy and painless navigation against anything sharp and jagged.
