FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Moab Speed 2 Vent 2K is designed for maximum ventilation and breathability, meaning it does not feature a waterproof membrane.
Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?
They are suitable for day hiking, but for heavy-load multi-day backpacking, ensure your pack weight and foot support needs are well-managed by the shoe.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and never put them in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can ruin the components.
What is the primary difference between the Moab and the Moab Speed series?
The Moab Speed series is designed to be lighter, more agile, and faster-paced compared to the more rugged, traditional, and heavier construction of the original Moab.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Is the rubber used in the sole eco-friendly?
The Vibram TC5+ outsole is specifically constructed using 30% recycled rubber to reduce environmental impact while maintaining performance.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after short distances
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened at the midfoot and check that your socks are moisture-wicking and well-fitted to prevent friction.
Accumulation of dust inside the shoe
Use a removable trail gaiter to cover the opening if hiking in particularly sandy or dusty conditions, or tap out the insoles after use.
Slippage on extremely slick surfaces
While the Vibram TC5+ is highly durable, ensure the tread is free of dried mud or packed clay, as these can fill the lugs and reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Moab Speed 2 shoes, it is recommended to loosen the laces fully when putting them on or taking them off to prevent heel counter damage. After heavy trail use, remove loose debris and dirt using a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, wipe the leather exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the materials. Always air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack and the foam to lose its structural integrity.
