Detailed Review
When it comes to outdoor activities, having the right footwear can make all the difference. The Merrell Moab Speed GTX excels in several categories:
- Comfort: The FloatPro foam provides significant cushioning, making long treks feel less taxing on your feet.
- Durability: Built with a Vibram outsole, these shoes offer impressive durability, essential for tackling rugged terrains.
- Waterproofing: The Gore-Tex layer truly shines in keeping your feet dry during unexpected rain or stream crossings.
- Breathability: Despite being waterproof, the shoes maintain breathability, allowing moisture to escape and keeping your feet comfortable.
While the pull-on closure is convenient, it may not fit everyone's preference, particularly if you’re accustomed to traditional lacing systems. Some users have reported that a slight break-in period is necessary for maximum comfort.

User Reviews
Very comfortable and light weight. Kept my feet dry at Zion in puddles. I will buy these again. I learned about these on the YouTube channel Dusty Hikers, he knows his shoes! And thank you Merrell for making them in fun colors with my large size foot, usually the larger sized shoes for women are ugly and no colors to choose from.
Great shoes, super comfortable, completely waterproof and fantastic grip. Merrell does it again!
I had to send them back, they were to small
