FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX shoes are designed with a standard fit. While they include a removable EVA footbed that can be replaced with custom orthotics, individuals with significantly wide feet may find a more specialized wide-fit model more comfortable.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?

The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the shoe lining. To clean, simply wipe the exterior of the shoe with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, which can compromise the membrane's performance.

What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and previous models?

The Moab Speed 2 features a 30% increase in underfoot foam for enhanced cushioning, improved breathability inspired by trail running shoes, and an updated Vibram TC5+ outsole with enhanced traction lugs.

Can I wear these shoes in hot weather?

While the GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing, it also incorporates breathable mesh materials. They are designed for varied conditions, but extremely high temperatures might be less comfortable than a non-waterproofed, highly ventilated shoe.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Try on the shoes towards the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen. Wear the type of socks you would typically use for hiking. Ensure there is adequate room in the toe box and a secure heel fit.

What activities are these shoes best suited for?

These shoes are primarily designed for hiking and trail walking. They also offer excellent performance for multi-sport outdoor activities and have been noted for their suitability on the golf course.

How long do the odour control treatments last?

The Cleansport NXT treatment is integrated into the materials to provide natural odour control. Its effectiveness generally lasts for the lifespan of the shoe, especially with proper care and regular airing.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Check for tears or damage to the shoe upper or seams. Also, confirm that moisture is not entering from the top of the shoe if submerged.

Traction is poor on slippery surfaces

Clean the Vibram TC5+ outsole of any embedded mud or debris, as this can reduce grip. Ensure the lugs are not excessively worn down.

Discomfort or rubbing during wear

Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Try different sock thicknesses or consider if the shoe's width or arch support is not suitable for your foot. The removable EVA footbed can be replaced if needed.

Shoes feel stiff

New hiking shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot's shape and movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and waterproofing.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation. Ensure they are completely dry before storage.
  • Odour Control: The Cleansport NXT treatment helps manage odour. Regular airing out will also help maintain freshness.
