FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These shoes are designed with a standard fit. While they offer good comfort, individuals with very wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on with your preferred hiking socks is recommended.
How often should I re-waterproof the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It's advisable to apply a leather waterproofing treatment every few months or after significant exposure to water and dirt to maintain optimal performance.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Moab Speed 2?
The Moab Speed 2 has a heel-to-toe drop of 10mm, which is standard for many hiking shoes and balances cushioning with ground feel.
Can I use these for trail running?
While they offer athletic performance features, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, specialized trail running shoes might offer more flexibility and lighter weight.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
Each shoe weighs approximately 420g, making them relatively lightweight for a durable hiking shoe.
How do I clean the inside of the shoe?
For the interior, remove the insole and clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting the insole.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproof claims
Ensure the tongue is properly aligned to create a seal. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. Allow shoes to dry completely and re-test.
Traction is poor on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole tread of any mud or debris. The Vibram® TC5+ is designed for a variety of terrains, but extreme conditions may require specific footwear. Ensure the shoes are adequately broken in.
Discomfort or rubbing after a few hours
The shoes may require a longer break-in period. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust lacing for a more secure yet comfortable fit, avoiding over-tightening.
Laces wear out quickly
Replace laces with durable, weather-resistant hiking laces. Consider using lace locks for a more secure fit and reduced friction.
