These are two different kinds of shoe.
The Merrell Agility Peak 6 GORE-TEX is a trail running shoe; the Merrell Moab Speed 2 Mid GTX is a mid-cut hiking boot. The lighter one saves 210 g a pair, but they are built for different kinds of hiking, so the lightest is not automatically the better buy.
What the extra 210 g of the Merrell Moab Speed 2 Mid GTX buys you
- A higher cut that covers the ankle.
What the Merrell Agility Peak 6 GORE-TEX offers besides the lower weight
- A lower list price at Alpinetrek: £154.65 against £159.95.
Weights are per pair, as the maker or Alpinetrek lists them; they did not always weigh the same size, so a few grams either way mean little. The other specs were checked on 19 October 2026 against Alpinetrek (Merrell Agility Peak 6 GORE-TEX) and Alpinetrek (Merrell Moab Speed 2 Mid GTX). "Not stated" means the source does not mention it, not that the shoe lacks it. List prices are the full price shown by that source, not a sale price; where sources disagree we show none.
Choose the Merrell Agility Peak 6 GORE-TEX if…
…you move fast on trails, run some of it, and want the lightest and most flexible shoe; it gives little ankle support under a heavy pack.
Choose the Merrell Moab Speed 2 Mid GTX if…
…you carry a multi-day pack on rough or wet ground and want the ankle covered and a stiffer sole.
