Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which is one of the most reliable waterproof and breathable technologies available.

Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?

Yes, the 30% increase in foam and the stability of the rock plate make them well-suited for long treks, though they are lighter than traditional heavy leather boots.

Do these fit true to size?

Most users find them to fit true to size, but since they have a more athletic, secure fit, you may want to try them on with your preferred hiking socks.

How do I maintain the grip on the Vibram soles?

Keep the outsoles clean and free of rocks and mud to ensure the traction lugs make full contact with the trail surface.

Is the ankle collar stiff?

The mid-cut collar is designed to be supportive while remaining comfortable, but it may feel firmer than a low-cut shoe until it softens during the initial break-in period.

Troubleshooting

Waterproofing feels less effective

Clean the outer fabric to remove dirt that may be clogging the breathable pores of the GORE-TEX membrane.

Feeling instability on steep descents

Ensure the heel is seated correctly in the counter and tighten the laces specifically across the instep to lock your foot in place.

Outsole collecting mud

Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the new traction lugs after returning from wet or muddy trails.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing with reliable GORE-TEX protection
  • Lightweight and agile design inspired by trail runners
  • Significantly increased underfoot comfort and energy return
  • High-performance traction from specialized Vibram outsoles

Cons

  • Mid-cut design may feel restrictive to those used to low-cut hikers
  • May require a short break-in period for the foam to adapt
  • Not intended for heavy-duty mountaineering or alpine climbing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Moab Speed 2 boots last, it is important to properly break them in by wearing them on shorter walks before embarking on a long-distance expedition. Always check the laces for wear, and keep the outsoles clean by brushing away dried mud after each hike, as caked-on debris can harden and interfere with traction. When cleaning the exterior, use lukewarm water and a soft brush; avoid harsh detergents that can degrade the GORE-TEX waterproof membrane. Allow your boots to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area—never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as extreme heat can damage the adhesives and structural foam.
