FAQs
Are these waterproof?
The Moab Speed 2 focuses on breathability. While it handles moisture well, it is not listed as having a waterproof membrane.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, the design is heavily influenced by athletic trail running and performs well for hikers who like to jog or move quickly.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles can be easily removed to accommodate custom orthotics.
What surface types are these best for?
They perform best on packed dirt, gravel, and mixed technical trails thanks to the Vibram TC5+ lugs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long periods of wear
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly and consider replacing the factory insole with one that better suits your arch type.
Accumulation of grit inside the shoe
Use a pair of lightweight trail gaiters to seal the gap between your pants and the shoe collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Moab Speed 2 shoes, start by ensuring you have the correct size; the shoe should feel snug but not restrictive. If you plan on using custom orthotics, the factory insoles are removable to accommodate your preferred inserts. When cleaning, avoid machine washing. Instead, remove excess mud with a soft brush and rinse with lukewarm water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a shaded, ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the foam or degrade the adhesives. Regularly inspect the Vibram soles for lodged stones and clean them out to maintain maximum traction.
