FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed series generally features a standard athletic fit, though the leather upper may offer a slight amount of natural stretch over time.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the boots come with a removable 50% recycled EVA foam footbed that can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these boots heavy?
The design utilizes a blend of leather and synthetic materials to maintain a balanced weight that is light enough for speed hiking while remaining supportive.
How do I keep the leather looking new?
Use a specialized nubuck leather brush and cleaning solution to remove grit without damaging the surface texture.
Can these be worn in winter?
While waterproof, they are designed primarily for autumn and spring hiking; they do not feature specific thermal insulation for deep winter conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the boot during heavy use
Ensure the leather is clean and treated with a water-repellent spray designed for nubuck to maintain the exterior barrier.
Boots feel slippery on wet rock
Clean the Vibram outsole thoroughly to ensure the debris-shedding lugs are not clogged with compressed mud or sediment.
Discomfort or hotspots developing
Check the lacing tension and ensure the removable EVA foam footbed is properly seated inside the boot without folding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last for many seasons, proper care is essential. Since the upper is crafted from nubuck leather, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth for deep cleaning. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can damage the leather or warp the waterproof membrane. When laces show signs of fraying, they can be easily replaced with any standard hiking lace, though keeping the 100% recycled originals is recommended. To maintain water resistance, consider applying a leather-specific water-repellent treatment once or twice a season depending on how frequently you hike in saturated conditions.
