ISPO Award Winner 2023, MERRELL MOAB SPEED 2 GTX

Hiking boots are prized for their durability and stability, yet sometimes these characteristics can lead to discomfort, making one hesitant to use them regularly. If this has deterred you from frequently wearing hiking boots, the Moab Speed 2 presents an excellent alternative.

Contemporary hiking footwear must be comfortable and suitable for everyday wear while being robust and stable enough for outdoor activities. The Moab Speed 2, with a midsole that is 30% thicker than its predecessor, offers comfort without sacrificing grip, thanks to its Vibram TC5+ outsole. This innovative design earned it an award in the hiking category at the 2023 ISPO Awards.

Moreover, Merrell has reduced the layers and complexity in the upper part of the Moab Speed 2 Mid GTX, ensuring a great heel lock and a stable mid-foot while providing ample space for the toes. This guarantees comfort throughout the day on the trail. To support and stabilize this new midsole, the Merrell team designed a brand-new FlexPlate™. Its asymmetrical design stabilizes the foot and supports natural walking motion, offering increased stability in lab tests.

The Moab Speed 2, capable of handling both everyday and outdoor environments, is available as a Gore-Tex model at GRAY SHOP
