Is it me, or is it muddier than usual for the time of year? If you find yourself slipping when out for a walk, I recommend buying the Merrell Moab Speed 2. I tested these hardy walking shoes in 2024 and they scored the title of best trail shoes in my guide to the best walking shoes.
The Vibram sole is grippy on uneven terrain and the shoe's upper is structured and supportive to keep you on your feet.
Despite their bulk, these are quite bouncy, comfortable shoes, something I find isn't always the case with shoes built for off-roading. They weigh in at 9.7oz/275g per shoe (women's), which is light for a rugged shoe.
These are some of the more water-resistant shoes I've tested, not quite as watertight as the Adidas Terrex (which survived a full puddle dunk), but still able to stand up to wet weather.
If you're looking for something to carry you safely across soggy terrain, the Merrell Moab Speed 2 can do the job.
