The Merrell Jungle Moc 2 is a solid performer — a slip-on scoring 82/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 318g, it is moderately heavy for a slip-on. The 24mm heel stack — a minimal stack — delivers a medium-firm ride at 36 HC, returning 46% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the Jungle Moc 2 runs on a mid 8mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 16mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 102mm — extra-wide, suited to broad or bunion-prone feet — and the upper is available in D/2E widths. Roomy across the toe box (102mm measured). Runs true to size for most. Wide (2E) option for broader feet. Elastic heel keeps the shoe secure despite no laces. Size up half if you have high-volume feet — leather upper has limited stretch. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for all-day casual wear, travel and airports, slip-on convenience, wide feet, seniors or limited mobility, gardening and outdoor chores, office to outdoors, and performs less well for running or wet or rainy weather.
