FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Moab Speed 2 over other hiking shoes?
The Moab Speed 2 offers a significant blend of enhanced cushioning (30% more foam), superior traction with its Vibram TC5+ outsole, and improved breathability, making it a fast, comfortable, and agile option for trail hikers.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Moab Speed 2 features enhanced breathability, which means they are not fully waterproof. They offer some protection against light moisture but are not designed for submersion or heavy rain conditions like fully waterproof boots.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
They are ideal for varied trail conditions, including dirt paths, rocky terrain, and moderate inclines, offering good grip and protection.
How much do the Moab Speed 2 shoes weigh?
Each shoe weighs approximately 340 grams, contributing to their lightweight and agile feel on the trail.
What does the 'rock plate' do?
The full-length rock plate is integrated into the sole to protect your feet from sharp rocks and roots, providing a smoother and more confident stride on uneven surfaces.
How should I clean my Moab Speed 2 shoes?
Gently brush off dirt. For deeper cleaning, use cold water and mild soap with a soft brush or cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the difference between the Moab Speed 2 and other Moab models?
The Moab Speed 2 incorporates advancements in traction, a 30% increase in underfoot foam for cushioning, and improved breathability, building on the legacy of the popular Moab line with features inspired by athletic hikers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Loosen the laces, adjust the shoe fit, and re-tie. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct for your foot or if a different lacing technique is needed.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the Vibram TC5+ offers good grip, extremely wet or slippery surfaces may still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris that could impede traction.
Feet feel warm or sweaty
The enhanced breathability aims to reduce heat. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If overheating persists, consider the ambient temperature; these shoes are designed for breathability over full waterproofing.
