Is the Moab Speed 2 GTX worth it over the regular Moab?

Yes if you want a lighter, faster shoe and hike in wet conditions. The standard Moab gives more ankle support and a roomier fit for heavy loads.

Is it really waterproof?

Yes, the GTX version has a Gore-Tex membrane that keeps water out in rain, puddles and wet grass. Water can still enter over the collar in deep streams.

How does the sizing run?

Owners often report a narrow fit, so try your usual size first and size up a half if you wear thick socks. The listed size 9 is a US men's 9.

It works for light trail running, but it is a hiking shoe with a stiffer build and more weight than a dedicated trail runner.

Our take on the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX

The Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX is a lightweight waterproof hiking shoe, a faster, lighter take on Merrell's classic Moab line. It pairs a Gore-Tex waterproof membrane with a cushioned EVA foam midsole and a Vibram TC5+ outsole for grip on wet trails. At $174.95 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range, so it is not a bargain price right now.
