Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the waterproof membrane and leather upper provide good protection for cool, wet conditions, though they are not specifically insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
How should I clean the nubuck leather?
Use a specialized leather brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth for spots. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are the footbeds replaceable?
Yes, the 50% recycled EVA footbeds are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if needed.
Do these require a break-in period?
While comfortable out of the box, the leather upper will soften and conform to your foot shape after 10-15 miles of use.
Is the waterproof membrane breathable?
The integrated membrane is designed to block water while allowing sweat vapor to escape, though breathability varies based on ambient humidity.
Troubleshooting
Moisture accumulation inside the shoe
Ensure your socks are moisture-wicking and not cotton, as moisture can build up from sweat even with a waterproof membrane.
Footbed feels loose or shifts
Remove the EVA foam insert, clean any debris from the bottom of the shoe, and ensure the insert is seated flat against the base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct size, as the Moab Speed 2 series offers a standard athletic fit. After each hike, remove the removable EVA footbed to allow for better airflow and drying. If the shoes become muddy, brush off dry debris with a soft-bristled brush. Because the upper is crafted from genuine nubuck leather, avoid submerging them in a washing machine; instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Periodically apply a leather conditioner to prevent the material from cracking over time and to maintain the integrity of the waterproofing.
