FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Moab Speed 2 is designed primarily for breathability. While they handle light moisture, they are not strictly waterproof.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, they incorporate design elements from trail runners and are well-suited for fast hiking or light trail running.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram TC5+?
It provides superior traction and durability compared to standard rubber compounds, specifically tested for trail environments.
Do these fit true to size?
They are generally standard in sizing, but it is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the toes for downhill comfort.
How often should I replace the foam?
Foam compression depends on usage, but typically you will notice reduced cushioning after 300-500 miles of heavy trail use.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the heel counter is seated correctly and adjust the lacing system to be tighter across the mid-foot.
Outer material looks worn or dusty
Use a specialized outdoor footwear cleaner and a soft-bristled brush; do not put them in a washing machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Moab Speed 2 shoes maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: While they feature modern materials, wear them on short walks to allow the foam to adapt to your stride.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each hike. If muddy, hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent glue degradation.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup inside the lining.
- Compatibility: These shoes accommodate standard aftermarket insoles if you require custom orthotics.
