FAQs
Are the Moab Speed 2 shoes waterproof?
This model features a nylon ripstop and TPU upper which is durable, but it does not include a waterproof membrane. They are breathable and quick-drying.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, the athletic construction and traction make them suitable for trail running and fast-paced hiking.
How do these differ from the original Moab?
The Speed 2 is lighter, more flexible, and uses athletic-inspired materials, whereas the original Moab is a more traditional, sturdier hiking boot.
Do these shoes run true to size?
They generally run true to size, but since they have an athletic fit, we recommend testing them with the specific socks you intend to hike in.
What is the primary surface they are designed for?
They are designed for a variety of mixed-terrain trails, from dirt paths to rocky ridgelines.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long hikes
Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness and consider adding aftermarket insoles if you require higher arch support.
Debris getting inside the shoe
Consider wearing gaiters to seal the gap between your ankle and the shoe collar.
Traction loss on very slick rock
While Vibram TC5+ is versatile, always adjust your stride length on extremely smooth or wet surfaces to maximize contact area.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue
- Excellent grip on uneven terrain thanks to Vibram rubber
- Integrated rock plate offers great protection
- Durable ripstop material holds up well against trail wear
Cons
- Not intended for technical mountaineering or crampon use
- Requires some break-in time for optimal comfort
- Less ankle support than traditional high-top hiking boots
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, pair these shoes with moisture-wicking hiking socks. Because the Moab Speed 2 uses a technical nylon ripstop, it is recommended to clean them by hand. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each hike, and if the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the TPU overlays and the adhesive used in the outsole. Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight.
