Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long hikes
Ensure your hiking socks are moisture-wicking and check that the laces are adjusted correctly to prevent foot sliding inside the shoe.
Accumulation of mud in outsole lugs
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the debris from the Vibram tread to maintain optimal traction on your next outing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Moab 3 fits true to size for most users; ensure you test them with the specific thickness of socks you plan to use on the trail to guarantee a proper fit. To maintain the shoes, remove loose dirt after each hike using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives and materials. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials and impact the longevity of the cushioning.
