FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproofing. They are designed for breathability, which suggests they may not be fully waterproof. For wet conditions, consider waterproof hiking footwear.
What is the main difference between Moab Speed 2 and older Moab models?
The Moab Speed 2 features a significant 30% increase in underfoot foam cushioning and improved breathability, building upon the legacy of the best-selling Moab hiking boot with innovations inspired by athletic hikers.
How long is the break-in period for these shoes?
Like most hiking shoes, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them for short walks around the house or on easy trails initially to allow them to conform to your feet.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While inspired by trail running technology for breathability and grip, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For serious trail running, dedicated trail running shoes are recommended.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
A single shoe weighs approximately 340 grams.
How do I clean the Vibram TC5+ outsole?
The outsole can be cleaned with a brush to remove debris. If necessary, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Ensure no debris is lodged between the lugs.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The product information does not specify width options. It is recommended to try the shoes on to assess fit for wide feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Try loosening the laces, especially around the midfoot and forefoot, and re-lacing for a more personalized fit. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, the size may not be suitable.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the Vibram TC5+ offers excellent traction, extremely wet or polished surfaces can still be challenging. Clean the outsole regularly to remove mud or debris that could affect grip. For slick conditions, always exercise caution.
Feet feel damp or overheated
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Check that the socks being worn are moisture-wicking. Allow the shoes to dry thoroughly between uses.
