FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day hiking?
Yes, the Moab Speed 2 is designed for comfort and performance during extended periods of hiking, thanks to its lightweight construction and supportive cushioning.
How do I ensure the waterproof feature remains effective?
Regularly clean the shoes and apply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the leather and seams. Avoid prolonged submersion in water if possible.
What type of socks should I wear with these hiking shoes?
Merino wool or synthetic hiking socks are recommended. They provide cushioning, moisture-wicking properties, and help prevent blisters.
Can I wear these shoes in warm weather?
While waterproof, the leather construction might be warmer than mesh-only hiking shoes. They are best suited for moderate to cool conditions, or wet weather regardless of temperature.
What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and previous Moab models?
The Moab Speed 2 focuses on enhanced athletic performance and a lighter, faster feel compared to more traditional, heavier Moab boots, while retaining the core comfort DNA.
How should I store the shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into shoes
Ensure all laces are tightened and the tongue is properly positioned. Check for any visible damage to the waterproof membrane or seams. If damage is present, consider professional repair or replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust lacing to reduce pressure points. If persistent, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsoles of any accumulated mud or debris. The tread pattern is designed for varied terrain; ensure you are walking within the shoe's intended performance limits.
Leather appearing dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner or waterproofing balm to restore moisture and flexibility. Follow product instructions carefully.
