Born on the Trail
The Moab is the best-selling hiking boot in the world, and the Speed 2 Mid carries that fit and feel onto the jobsite — a FloatPro foam midsole that stays cushioned for the life of the boot, a nylon arch shank for support, and a sticky rubber outsole that grips wet concrete like a trail.
Rated for Work
A carbon fiber toe meets ASTM F2413 impact and compression at a fraction of the weight of steel, the boot is EH rated, and the outsole is slip-rated to ASTM F3445 — protection that clears a safety-toe requirement in a boot that weighs about the same as a hiker.
Why Choose the Merrell Work J007897?
A waterproof, carbon-fiber-toe, EH-rated, slip-rated mid boot that weighs about 1.25 pounds — the pick for warehouse, delivery, landscaping, and light-industrial work where you are on your feet all day and want a hiker's comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standards does the Moab Speed 2 Mid J007897 meet?
The carbon fiber toe is rated ASTM F2413-18 I/C for impact and compression, the boot carries EH electrical hazard protection, and the outsole meets the ASTM F3445-21 slip-resistance standard.
Is the Moab Speed 2 Mid waterproof?
Yes. The waterproof leather upper and bellows tongue keep water and debris out while the mesh lining lets moisture escape.
How does the Moab Speed 2 Mid fit?
It fits like a hiking boot and runs true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes. The carbon fiber toe is roomier than steel, and the COMFORTBASE footbed is removable if you run your own insole.
Is there metal in the J007897?
The safety toe is carbon fiber and the shank is nylon, so the boot is light and does not conduct cold.
What's the difference between the Moab Speed 2 Mid and the low?
Same waterproof leather, carbon fiber toe, FloatPro midsole, and sticky rubber outsole. The J007897 is the mid-cut boot with a padded collar for ankle coverage; the J007891 (Taupe) and J007895 (Brown) are the low-cut shoes.
How do I care for the Moab Speed 2 Mid?
Knock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Cement construction is not resoleable, so rotate pairs to extend the outsole.
