FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a built-in waterproof membrane designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions.
Can I remove the footbed?
Yes, the 50% recycled EVA foam footbed is removable, which is helpful for cleaning or replacing with custom orthotics.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is crafted from premium nubuck leather, combined with synthetic and textile materials.
How do I clean the nubuck leather?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the leather's natural oils.
What type of terrain are these best for?
They are ideal for standard hiking trails, loose gravel, and muddy conditions thanks to the high-traction Vibram outsole.
Are these shoes eco-friendly?
Yes, they feature 100% recycled laces and webbing, and the footbed contains 50% recycled material.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Check the leather surface for cracks or lack of treatment; apply a leather-specific waterproofing wax or spray.
Accumulation of debris in the outsole
While the shoe sheds debris, heavily packed mud should be removed with a stiff brush after the hike to maintain grip for the next outing.
Uncomfortable pressure points
Ensure the recycled laces are adjusted evenly across the bridge of the foot; do not overtighten, as this can restrict circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Moab Speed 2 boots, proper care is essential:
- Break-in: Wear them on short walks before heading out on long, strenuous hikes to allow the nubuck leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth for deeper cleaning, ensuring you do not soak the leather.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather-specific waterproofing treatment to maintain the integrity of the nubuck surface.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or dry out.
- Footbed Care: Remove the EVA foam footbed periodically to let it air out after long hikes, which helps prevent odor buildup.
