Moab Speed 2 Vent 2K Hiking Shoe (Women)

I love everything about this shoe except for the short strap. Merrell needs to extend the strap by 1/2” ands mail out strap extenders to those of us who already have the shoe. Other than this design oversight, the shoes themselves have decent foot support (I use a slim 3/4 insert because of high arches) and a decent toes box. My wide foot fits into the toes box even with thin wool socks.

I bought these shoes about 4 months ago and they are already getting a hole in the front, near the toes. It seems like the plastic there is thin and easily worn through. I am a classroom teacher and only wear them to work/as a regular weekend shoe, so nothing outrageous. They are the correct size and it was roomy in the toe area as well. I am really disappointed because I have several shoes from Merrell and this hasn't happened before. Very sad as I really enjoyed these shoes.

I just got these in, true to size, i have a regular kind of narrower foot and i have good wiggle room. Mesh style allows for a super comfy and breathable shoe which feels nice around my toes. Planning on taking these to CDMX. I was expecting more cushion support, but no complains to how they feel with support and traction. Only concern is the lack of stretch in the top part, but I have no issues with the feel, plus its very lightweight and I just adjusted it with the Velcro length.

I am so disappointed in these shoes. These do not slip on and they are in no way adjustable. The strap is ribbon - completely non flex, with a very small velcro closure. I have a feeling that the length of the strap was not scaled up as the shoe size increases. I wear a 9.5, and I do not have a wide foot. Honestly, I could've even sized down to a 9. But once my foot was in, the strap was 2-3" too short. There would be absolutely no way to slide your foot into the tiny closure. When the strap is closed, the space between the two sides of the shoe at the top is ~1". Such a poor design, and I was so excited to wear these in spring and summer. They're much cuter than the salomon rx marie-jeanne, but at least those are adjustable!!

Purchase this second pair of Merrell hiking shoe for hiking the Camino De Santiago in Spain. The shoe is very lite and doesn't add much weight, which makes it great for International travel. As with any good hiking shoe, you must pair it with a good pair of wool socks. Buen Camino!
