FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 offers a standard fit. While comfortable for many, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on or consulting a size chart is recommended.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The waterproof membrane is durable, but its effectiveness can decrease over time with heavy use and exposure. Periodic reapplication of waterproofing treatment is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
Can I use these for backpacking trips?
Yes, the Moab Speed 2 is suitable for backpacking, especially for lighter loads or shorter trips where a lightweight shoe is preferred. For heavy loads or very rugged terrain, a more robust boot might be considered.
What is the recommended break-in period?
Most users find the Moab Speed 2 comfortable with minimal break-in. However, it's advisable to wear them on shorter walks before embarking on a long hike to ensure a perfect fit and comfort.
How do I clean mud off the leather?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove mud. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Are these shoes good for hot weather?
While waterproof, the leather construction and waterproof membrane can make them warmer than mesh-only shoes. They are best suited for moderate to cool conditions or wet weather.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the shoes
Ensure the waterproof membrane is intact. Clean the shoes and reapply a waterproofing treatment. Check for damage to seams or the sole.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any debris. The outsole's grip may diminish over time with heavy wear; consider replacement if significantly worn.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
Allow for a break-in period of several hikes. Ensure laces are tied correctly, providing a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider using thicker hiking socks.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Clean the shoes and apply a leather conditioner designed for footwear. This replenishes moisture and prevents cracking.

- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use, ideally in a breathable bag to prevent moisture buildup.
