Customer Images

Here's what customers have to say

The reviews for these shoes are mixed. Many customers find them comfortable, durable, and suitable for outdoor activities, but some report issues with the fit, such as the shoes running small or narrow. A number of reviewers recommend ordering a half size up. While most seem satisfied, there are enough negative comments about the fit and quality to suggest these may not be the ideal choice for everyone.

No Merrill’s For Me

I cannot is any male or female size find comfort in the toe box of this shoe. I had to go with a different brand.

Golf Shoe Replacements

Read a couple of articles about golfers using Speed 2s and gave them a shot. Tried multiple brands of golf shoes, but would consistently have sore achilles after walking 18. No more. These have been incredible. Legs feel fresh throughout the round and I've experienced better ball striking. Traction is fantastic, even in wet conditions. I have been wearing Moabs as dailies for the past 15+ years, so I have total confidence that these will last.

Flexible secure comfort

Been hiking for years with the Moab 3s(light to moderate) -- there's so much love there. Found these Speed 2s and decided to try for easy casual walking trails, with a little more flex. Genius shoe. Auditioned them at Sitka Sedge, gorgeous estuary with no difficulty and lots of casual walking comfort among the birders. Easy trail and sand doesn't really need more than a sneaker, but these guys are super sure footed and almost paddle through the sand trail sections. Can't wait to really test them, but on their first go over a few miles of light terrain they're super "sneaker-like comfy", yet secure. They definitely want to run.

Good for many things but not uneven terrain

everything about these are great! The stability on uneven terrain is terrible. the cushioning is dangerously to high/excessive. on a slope your feet will roll right off of the sole. gortex is GREAT! Laces will NEVER come untied, Awesome! they are sporty and very comfortable. I'd love to say they are worth the high price but since they arent capable of doing what I need, I cant

Speed 2s displace my HOKAs

Normally wear Moab 3 High or Low cut hikers these days. I started wearing Merrill Moab’s years go and went through the transitions of the three styling changes. I never 3 pairs of Moab 3s, two mid and 1 low, all goretex. I also have 2 pairs of HOKA hiking shoes. I’ll never give up my MOAB 3s for rough terrain. I saw the Speed 2 advertisement and decided to give them a try. The claims made about the Speed 2 fit and comfort are true. Worn them of several 1.5-2.5 mile hikes while breaking them in and have had no issues. Long term durability is sill in progress. At his point, the Moab Speed 2s have taken a place ahead of the HOKAs in my rotation for light to moderate trail use.

This Review needs to be Read!

Wow wow! Switched over from hiking boots and took these to our trip to Switzerland for a couple of hikes and let me tell you... I forgot I had feet! Usually on hikes I am super aware of my feet because somethings either hurting or unsteady and I forgot I had feet with these things! And the grip on them?! Well, let me just say for the amount of different terrains these puppies strived over, not a single slip or twist! In the matter of 2 weeks, I put them through it so bad that I almost feel bad for them. 10/10 definitely recommend! Also, they made my outfits look cute!
