Who Is It Good For?
Here is a quick rundown of some of the Merrell Moab Speed 2‘s key callouts to decide if this is the right shoe for you.
- Wide Feet: They do offer an extra wide option so it’ll be a good fit for anyone
- Technical Trails: Perfect option for cushion and support. Plus you can still feel some of the trail under you!
- Long Runs: Perfect for one day hikes and shorter trail run distances like the 50k
- Front of the Pack: Probably not the best choice if you are looking to hit some faster paces during a race since it’s still very much like a hiking boot style
