FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 offers a standard fit. For wider feet, it is recommended to try them on or check for wide-fit variants if available.
How waterproof are these hiking shoes?
The shoes feature waterproof leather and materials designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions, suitable for rain and stream crossings. However, prolonged submersion may eventually lead to water ingress.
What is the best way to clean the leather upper?
Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution for tougher spots. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
Most users find that a few short hikes are sufficient for the shoes to break in and conform to their foot shape, typically within a week of moderate use.
Can I use these for everyday walking?
Yes, their lightweight and comfortable design makes them suitable for casual everyday wear in addition to hiking.
What type of socks are recommended?
Merino wool or synthetic blend hiking socks are recommended to enhance comfort, moisture-wicking, and blister prevention.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears on shorter walks to let the shoes mold to your feet. Ensure socks are appropriate for hiking.
Water seeping through seams
Check if the waterproofing treatment needs reapplication. Minor seepage might occur after prolonged submersion; ensure the shoe is fully dried afterwards.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole tread of any mud or debris. Ensure the waterproofing treatments are not leaving a residue on the sole.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner or waterproofing balm specifically designed for outdoor footwear to restore moisture and flexibility.
