FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for deep water crossing?
While the shoes are waterproof, they are not submerged-proof. They are designed to withstand rain, mud, and shallow puddles.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the shoe comes with a removable 50% recycled EVA foam footbed that can be replaced with custom orthotics.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
They offer great protection for autumn, but they are not insulated. For extreme winter conditions, you may need a thicker sock or a dedicated insulated boot.
How do I keep the nubuck leather looking good?
Use a specialized leather brush and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the texture of the nubuck.
Do these boots run true to size?
Generally, the Moab series runs standard. If you plan on wearing thick wool hiking socks, consider trying them on with those socks to ensure the correct fit.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks, as cotton traps sweat.
Outsole losing traction
Thoroughly clean the treads with a brush to remove dried mud and debris that may be obstructing the grip pattern.
Laces coming loose
Double-knot the recycled laces, as their synthetic texture can be more slippery than traditional cotton laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Moab Speed 2 boots maintain their performance, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: After hikes, remove loose dirt using a soft brush. For mud, use a damp cloth and mild, pH-neutral soap.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather and waterproof membrane.
- Maintenance: Periodically treat the nubuck leather with a suitable conditioning spray to prevent drying and cracking.
- Fit: The shoes feature a removable footbed, allowing you to swap in custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
