Moab Speed

WHY MERRELL MOAB SPEED IS A HIKER FAVORITE

Merrell Moab Speed is a modern take on a classic. Built on the legacy of the iconic Moab series, it's lighter, faster, and more versatile, perfect for active hikers seeking freedom of movement without compromising grip or comfort. Designed for those who want to hike efficiently across varied terrain.

The main difference between Moab Speed and traditional hiking shoes is weight and flexibility. While traditional boots can be heavy and stiff, Moab Speed is light, responsive, and inspired by trail running, offering an effortless feel on the trail, especially on longer treks where every gram counts.

Merrell maintains the solid protection the Moab name is known for: toe reinforcement, stable heel cup, and a grip-secure outsole design ensure confident movement in rugged and technical terrain without losing balance.

LIGHT, STABLE AND READY FOR VARIED TERRAIN

One of Moab Speed's standout features is its low weight. Thanks to a synthetic mesh upper and recycled materials, it feels almost like a trail shoe without losing the protection and support needed for longer hikes.

The midsole is made from Merrell FloatPro™, delivering a good balance of cushioning and energy return. Enjoy a comfortable experience whether climbing technical ascents or descending long slopes.

Vibram® EcoDura™ outsole ensures reliable traction on dry and wet surfaces. The tread pattern grips everything from forest floors and rocks to gravel and muddy trails.

GREAT COMFORT FROM DAY ONE

Merrell is known for high comfort right out of the box, and Moab Speed is no exception. It requires no real breaking in and quickly adapts to your foot. The insole made of EVA foam offers arch support and a soft feel against the foot.

The upper is not only light but also breathable and molds to the foot over time. Padding around the collar and tongue provides a snug yet comfortable fit, minimizing the risk of blisters and pressure points.

Suitable for day hikes, hilly landscapes, and lighter multi-day hikes with moderate gear. If you need extra toe space, Moab Speed is also slightly wider in the forefoot than many other hiking shoes—a big advantage for many.

CHOOSE THE GTX VERSION FOR WET CONDITIONS

Moab Speed is also available in a GORE-TEX® version (often called Moab Speed GTX), adding a waterproof and breathable membrane to the upper. Ideal for trips in rainy weather, especially if you expect rain, mud, or wet grass.

The GORE-TEX® membrane keeps water out while allowing feet to breathe, avoiding moisture and discomfort inside. Perfect for autumn hikes, winter treks, or ventures in mountain areas with changing climates.

The GTX version has the same construction as the regular Moab Speed—with FloatPro™ midsole and Vibram® sole—but offers extra protection against the elements without needing heavy and stiff boots.

WHO IS MERRELL MOAB SPEED FOR?

Moab Speed is for those looking for a versatile, modern hiking shoe with low weight, high comfort, and reliable stability. Perfect for:
