FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, their technical design with aggressive tread and rock plate is optimized for trail performance. They can be worn casually, but may be overkill for simple daily activities.

How do I know if the GORE-TEX® is working?

You'll notice your feet stay dry during wet conditions. The membrane is designed to let perspiration vapor escape while preventing liquid water from entering.

What does 'Vegan-Friendly' mean for these shoes?

It means the shoes are constructed without any animal-derived materials in their components.

How often should I clean my Moab Speed 2 trainers?

Clean them after particularly muddy or dirty outings to maintain material integrity and hygiene. Regular airing out is also beneficial.

Can I replace the footbed?

Yes, the shoes come with a removable PU footbed, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or a different style of insole if desired.

What is the weight of a single shoe?

A single shoe (Men's size EU 41) weighs approximately 350 grams.

How does the rock plate enhance performance?

The rock plate provides a layer of protection between your foot and the ground, preventing sharp rocks, roots, and other trail debris from causing discomfort or injury.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®

Ensure the shoe is properly laced and the GORE-TEX® membrane is intact. Moisture could be entering from the top opening if submerged. Check for tears or damage to the membrane.

Reduced traction on certain surfaces

Vibram® TC5+ offers excellent grip, but traction can vary with conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. Consider the specific terrain may be beyond the optimal grip range of the tread pattern.

Discomfort or rubbing

Adjust lacing for a more secure but not overly tight fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If persistent, consider if the shoe size or width is correct for your foot.

Odor persists after cleaning

While Cleansport NXT™ helps, deep-set odors may require a more thorough cleaning of the interior and footbed. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before storing. Baking soda can also help absorb odors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability thanks to GORE-TEX®.
  • Superior grip and traction on diverse outdoor surfaces from the Vibram® outsole.
  • Lightweight cushioning for comfortable, long-duration use.
  • Durable construction with added protection from a rock plate.
  • Eco-conscious design utilizing recycled materials.
  • Effective natural odor control treatment.

Cons

  • May be overly technical for casual everyday use.
  • Specific tread pattern might be less optimal for purely road running.
  • While durable, extensive use on abrasive surfaces could show wear over time.
  • The specific fit might require trying on for optimal comfort for some foot shapes.
  • Waterproof membrane can sometimes reduce breathability in very hot, dry conditions compared to non-waterproof alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond ensuring a comfortable fit. Adjust the laces to secure your foot. The removable PU footbed allows for customization if needed.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for outdoor multi-sport activities, hiking, and trail running. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Do not machine wash.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Odor Control: The Cleansport NXT™ treatment helps manage odors. Regular airing out after use will further assist in maintaining freshness.
