FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Moab Speed 2 emphasizes breathability as a primary feature. Please check your specific model version for waterproof membranes, as standard models prioritize airflow over waterproofing.
How does the sizing compare to standard boots?
These shoes follow a standard athletic fit. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up slightly to accommodate thicker hiking socks.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the internal footbed is removable, making it compatible with most aftermarket or medical-grade orthotic inserts.
How often should I replace the rubber outsole?
Depending on the frequency and intensity of your hiking, the Vibram TC5+ rubber typically lasts for several hundred miles before the traction lugs show significant wear.
Are these suitable for wet rock?
The Vibram TC5+ compound is specifically formulated to provide high-level grip on a variety of surfaces, including wet rock, but always exercise caution on slick, moss-covered stone.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven terrain
Ensure the heel counter is properly positioned and consider utilizing the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better lock your heel into the back of the shoe.
Excessive dirt accumulation in mesh
Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off; avoid using a high-pressure hose, which can push particles deeper into the fabric fibers.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Check if the shoe size is correct and ensure the laces are tightened starting from the eyelets closest to your toes to ensure even tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Moab Speed 2 hiking shoes, proper maintenance is essential. While the material is designed for high breathability, debris can accumulate in the mesh; it is recommended to brush off dirt after every hike using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become deeply soiled, hand wash them with warm water and a mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can damage the foam and adhesives. Before your first trek, take time to wear the shoes on shorter walks to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape. If you use custom orthotics, the factory insoles are removable, allowing for easy integration of your preferred inserts.
