FAQs

Is the Moab Speed 2 Mid waterproof?

Yes, this model features an integrated GORE-TEX waterproof membrane designed to keep feet dry in wet weather.

How does the sizing run?

The Moab Speed 2 fits consistently with standard hiking boot sizing, but we recommend measuring your feet while wearing your preferred hiking socks for the best fit.

Are these boots suitable for heavy backpacking?

These are primarily designed as day-hiking boots. While comfortable, they may lack the rigid structural support required for very heavy, multi-day expedition packs.

Can I use these in snow?

The boots provide good protection against slush and cold, though they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.

How do I maintain the waterproof performance?

Keep the exterior clean and occasionally treat the upper with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray once the original coating begins to wear off.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel slippery on wet rock

Ensure the outsoles are clear of dried mud or debris, as buildup can prevent the lug pattern from engaging properly.

Dampness felt inside despite GORE-TEX

Ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks; cotton socks trap sweat and lead to a damp feeling that is often mistaken for water leaking in.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improved cushioning for long-distance comfort
  • Reliable waterproof protection via GORE-TEX technology
  • High-traction outsole performs well on varied terrain
  • Lightweight construction reduces leg fatigue
  • Excellent breathability for a waterproof boot

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for the mid-top collar
  • Lighter build may feel less supportive than traditional heavy hiking boots
  • Limited to specific colorways and sizes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your boots, start by wearing them with appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks. Because the Moab Speed 2 features a technical fit, ensure the laces are snug through the mid-foot without being overly tight at the ankle. Compatibility is broad, as the design accommodates most standard aftermarket insoles. For care, keep your boots clean by brushing off loose dirt after every hike. If the GORE-TEX membrane becomes soiled, wash the exterior with mild soap and lukewarm water, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the materials.
