FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average width feet. While the materials offer some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Consider trying them on or looking for models with wider fit options if available.
How durable is the cushioning?
The increased foam is designed for long-lasting comfort. However, like all cushioning, its effectiveness can diminish over extended periods of heavy use. Regular cleaning and proper care will help prolong its life.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
The GORE-TEX® membrane provides breathability, and the shoe incorporates design elements from trail running shoes for improved airflow. While generally good for warm weather, extremely high temperatures might still lead to warm feet.
What is the main difference between the Moab Speed 2 and the original Moab?
The Moab Speed 2 focuses on a lighter, more agile feel, incorporating more athletic shoe technology for improved breathability and responsiveness, along with enhanced cushioning. The original Moab is typically more robust and offers a traditional hiking boot feel.
How do I check if the GORE-TEX® is still effective?
The primary indicator is consistent dryness of your feet during wet conditions. If you start noticing water ingress, ensure the shoe is clean. Over time, extreme wear might affect performance, but regular maintenance should preserve it.
Are these shoes waterproof or water-resistant?
These shoes feature a GORE-TEX® waterproof membrane, offering full waterproofing. This means they are designed to keep your feet dry even when exposed to rain, puddles, or wet terrain.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure socks are not the source of moisture. Check if water is entering from the top opening. Clean the shoe to ensure the membrane is not blocked by debris. For prolonged submersion, water may eventually seep in.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole of mud, dirt, or debris. The Vibram® TC5+ rubber is designed for grip, but accumulated material can reduce its effectiveness. Ensure the shoes are not worn out.
Discomfort during initial wear
Allow the shoes a break-in period on shorter walks. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. The increased foam may require some time to mold to your foot.
