FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 Leather Waterproof shoes are designed with a standard width. If you have wider feet, it's recommended to try them on in person or check customer reviews for fit feedback.
How do I know if the waterproof membrane is still effective?
If your feet remain dry during normal use in wet conditions, the membrane is likely still effective. If you start noticing dampness, it might be time to re-treat the leather and check for any wear and tear on the shoe.
Can I replace the footbed?
Yes, the EVA foam footbed is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or a different type of insole if desired.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram TC5+ outsole?
The Vibram TC5+ outsole is engineered to provide enhanced traction and grip on a variety of surfaces, while also being designed to shed mud and debris efficiently.
How often should I re-waterproof the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. For regular hikers, re-applying waterproofing spray every few months or after significant exposure to wet conditions is recommended.
Are these shoes good for hot weather?
While they feature a breathable mesh lining, the leather upper and waterproof membrane may make them warmer than fully synthetic, non-waterproof shoes in very hot climates.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside
Ensure laces are properly tied and the waterproof membrane is intact. Check for any significant damage to the shoe. Allow shoes to dry completely before next use.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The Vibram TC5+ outsole is designed for traction, but extremely slick surfaces can still be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. Consider the conditions and your gait.
Discomfort during initial wear
Leather hiking shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods around the house to gradually conform them to your foot shape.
