Full details

Its key benefit lies in providing ultimate trail performance with a high-traction outsole and durable ripstop upper, while a potential caveat for some users might be its sportier design compared to more traditional hiking boots.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
While the ripstop upper offers some durability, these trainers are not explicitly waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions. For heavy rain or stream crossings, consider waterproof hiking boots.
What does 'vegan-friendly' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of the shoe.
How does the FlexPlate™ technology work?
The FlexPlate™ provides torsional rigidity for support during varied terrain, while still allowing the forefoot to flex naturally with your stride.
What is the drop and stack height of these shoes?
The stack height is 34mm at the heel and 24mm at the forefoot, resulting in a 10mm drop. This provides a balance of cushioning and ground feel.
How often should I clean my Moab Speed Sport 2 Trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after muddy or dirty hikes. Regular light cleaning helps maintain their appearance and material integrity.
Can I wear these for trail running?
Yes, their lightweight design, cushioning, and protective features make them suitable for trail running, especially for distances where enhanced protection is beneficial.
What is the lug depth on the outsole?
The lug depth on the Vibram® TC5+ outsole is 4mm, providing good traction for various trail surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear with appropriate hiking socks. Break them in gradually on shorter walks.
Traction is reduced on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove accumulated mud or debris. The Vibram® TC5+ outsole is designed for grip, but excessive build-up can impede performance.
Upper material seems dirty
Wipe the ripstop upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used gently.
Foot fatigue after a long hike
Ensure the laces are tied correctly for adequate support. Consider if the terrain was exceptionally demanding or if longer break-in periods are needed.
