FAQs

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Moab Speed 2 generally follows a standard width. If you have significantly wide feet, you might consider trying them on first or looking for models known for wider toe boxes.

How long will the waterproofing last?

The durability of waterproofing depends on usage and care. With regular maintenance and proper drying, the waterproof features should last through many seasons of typical hiking use.

Can I wear these boots in winter conditions?

These boots are waterproof and offer good traction, making them suitable for moderate winter conditions with light snow. For deep snow or icy conditions, consider adding thermal socks or specific winter footwear.

What is the main difference between these and standard Moab boots?

The Moab Speed 2 series emphasizes a more athletic and lightweight design, aiming for enhanced speed and agility compared to the classic Moab line, which often focuses more on traditional, robust hiking support.

How often should I condition the leather?

It's recommended to condition the leather every few months, or more often if the boots are frequently exposed to wet conditions or heavy use, to maintain its flexibility and prevent drying out.

Do these boots require a significant break-in period?

While many users find them comfortable out of the box, a short break-in period of a few hikes is recommended to allow the materials to mold to your feet for optimal comfort.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them around the house for short periods before embarking on long hikes. Adjust lacing to find a comfortable fit.

Water seeping into boots

Ensure the boots are properly dried after use. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane or seams. Reapply a waterproofing treatment if necessary.

Traction seems reduced on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole treads of mud or debris. The Vibram® outsole provides excellent grip, but can be compromised by accumulated dirt.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely with a strong knot. Consider replacing standard laces with specialized hiking laces that offer better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready for the trail right out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first hike. Adjust the laces to your preference for a secure fit, ensuring no pressure points.

Compatibility: The Moab Speed 2 is designed for a wide range of hiking and outdoor activities. It pairs well with standard hiking socks and outdoor apparel. While engineered for trails, their versatile style makes them suitable for casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  2. Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for hiking boots to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product's instructions.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: To maintain waterproofing, reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment for leather footwear as recommended by the treatment manufacturer, especially after thorough cleaning or heavy use in wet conditions.
  4. Lace Care: Inspect laces regularly for wear and tear. Replace if frayed.
