FAQs

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX® features an athletic fit. While it offers improved comfort, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on or checking detailed sizing guides is recommended.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX® lining?

The GORE-TEX® membrane is integrated into the boot. Clean the exterior of the boot with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the interior, allow it to air dry. Avoid direct heat.

What is the main difference between this and a traditional hiking boot?

The Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX® incorporates athletic hiker technology and trail running shoe design principles, resulting in a lighter weight, enhanced breathability, and more underfoot cushioning compared to many traditional, stiffer hiking boots.

Can I wear these boots in very cold weather?

While the GORE-TEX® keeps feet dry, these boots are primarily designed for three-season use. For extreme cold, consider adding thermal socks or a boot with specific cold-weather insulation.

How long does the waterproofing typically last?

With proper care, the GORE-TEX® membrane's waterproofing can last for the lifetime of the boot. Regular cleaning and occasional re-waterproofing treatments for the exterior can help maintain performance.

What type of terrain is this boot best suited for?

These boots are excellent for varied terrains including rocky paths, muddy trails, and wet conditions, thanks to their advanced grip and waterproofing.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®

Ensure the boot is properly laced and the tongue is positioned to prevent water ingress. Check for damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. Clean the boots as water can degrade performance if contaminants build up.

Slipping heel

Adjust lacing, ensuring the heel is pulled back before tightening. Verify you have the correct size; a heel slip can indicate the boot is too large.

Reduced grip over time

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove mud and debris that can impede traction. Inspect lugs for excessive wear.

Discomfort or hot spots

Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the boots on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes. Check lacing for pressure points.
