FAQs

What is the main benefit of the FloatPro Foam™ midsole?

The FloatPro Foam™ midsole provides lightweight, long-lasting cushioning, enhancing comfort during long hikes and reducing foot fatigue.

How is the grip on the outsole?

The shoe features a Vibram® TC5+ outsole made with 30% recycled rubber, designed to offer excellent traction and durability on a variety of trail surfaces.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The 'Vent' in the name indicates a focus on breathability, not waterproofing. These shoes are designed to be highly ventilated for warmer conditions, not to keep feet dry in wet environments.

What is the percentage of recycled material in these shoes?

The shoes feature synthetic leather and 100% recycled mesh uppers, and the Vibram® outsole contains 30% recycled rubber.

What type of hiking are these shoes best suited for?

They are ideal for day hikes, light backpacking, and general trail use on varied terrain. Their design prioritizes comfort and ventilation.

How do I clean the white mesh upper?

Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water to clean the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry naturally.

Can I wear these for trail running?

While they offer good grip and cushioning, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. They may be suitable for some light trail running, but dedicated trail running shoes might offer more specialized features.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using different socks or lacing techniques to adjust fit.

Traction feels inconsistent on wet surfaces

Clean the outsole of mud or debris. Vibram® outsoles offer excellent grip, but performance can be affected by contaminants. Ensure the shoe has adequately broken in.

Feet feel overheated

The Moab Speed 2 Vent 2K SE is designed for breathability. If overheating persists, ensure socks are moisture-wicking. For very hot conditions, consider a more heavily vented shoe if available.

Material scuffs easily

The synthetic leather and mesh are designed for durability but can show scuffs. Regular cleaning can help maintain appearance. For heavily soiled shoes, use a specialized shoe cleaner designed for outdoor footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These hiking shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size (e.g., 9.5 for this specific model) for a comfortable fit. We recommend trying them on indoors before your first hike to confirm fit and comfort.

Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including day hiking, trail running, and general outdoor exploration. Not intended for heavy mountaineering or technical climbing.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents, as they can damage the materials. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
  3. Laces: Inspect laces regularly for wear and tear. Replace if necessary.
