FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 GTX® BL 1TRL generally offers a standard fit. While designed for versatile comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping.
Can I use these for trail running as well as hiking?
Yes, the Moab Speed 2 is designed with versatility in mind and offers the lightweight feel and responsive cushioning suitable for trail running, alongside the durability and grip for hiking.
How long does the GORE-TEX® waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX® membrane is engineered for durability. Proper care and maintenance will help preserve its waterproof and breathable properties for the lifespan of the shoe.
Is this shoe truly vegan?
Yes, the materials used, including laces, webbing, and lining, are 100% recycled and vegan-friendly, with Cleansport NXT™ for odor control.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
The approximate weight of a single shoe is 350 grams.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure laces are snug and the GORE-TEX® membrane is intact. Moisture can also come from sweat; consider moisture-wicking socks. Check for any visible damage to the shoe.
Slipping on certain surfaces
Clean the Vibram® TC5+ outsole of any accumulated mud or debris. Ensure you are using the appropriate gait for the terrain; extreme conditions may still pose a slipping risk.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow for a break-in period of a few hikes. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using different lacing techniques to adjust pressure points.
Odor persists
While Cleansport NXT™ helps, regular airing and drying are essential. Wash insoles separately if possible. Consider using anti-odor sprays designed for footwear.

Care:
