FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, the Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX® BL 1TRL are performance-oriented trainers designed for technical trails. Their aggressive tread and protective features might be more than needed for casual walking.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX® membrane?

The GORE-TEX® membrane itself does not require special cleaning. Focus on cleaning the shoe exterior and interior as per the care instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals that could compromise the membrane's integrity.

What is the weight of a single shoe?

A single shoe weighs approximately 350 grams.

Are all the materials recycled?

The lining, footbed cover, laces, and webbing are made from 100% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.

How effective is the odour control treatment?

The cleansport NXT™ treatment uses natural enzymes to break down odour-causing bacteria. Its effectiveness is enhanced by proper shoe care, including drying and airing.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different aftermarket insoles if desired.

What is the main difference between this model and other Moab Speed versions?

This specific 'BL 1TRL' model features GORE-TEX® waterproofing, a FloatPro™ Foam midsole, rock plate protection, and a Vibram® TC5+ outsole for enhanced performance on technical trails, alongside recycled materials and odour control.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite GORE-TEX®

Ensure laces are tied tightly to seal the tongue. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane or seams. If recent, ensure proper drying and re-evaluate if the exposure exceeded the waterproofing limits.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Clean the Vibram® outsole with water to remove any embedded debris. The outsole's grip may also diminish with significant wear over time.

Discomfort or blisters

Verify the shoe size and fit. Ensure appropriate socks are worn. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before undertaking long or strenuous hikes.

Shoe odour persists

Ensure shoes are thoroughly dried after each use. Remove insoles and air them separately. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip and stability on technical terrain.
  • Waterproof yet breathable thanks to GORE-TEX®.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended use.
  • Durable construction built for challenging conditions.
  • Environmentally conscious with recycled materials.

Cons

  • May be too aggressive for light trails or casual walking.
  • Specific fit might not suit all foot types.
  • The specialized features could be unnecessary for general use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The laces allow for adjustable fitting.

Compatibility: Designed for male adult feet, compatible with standard hiking socks. Best suited for trail running, hiking, and outdoor multi-sport activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  2. Waterproofing Maintenance: GORE-TEX® footwear is designed for long-lasting waterproofing. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents, which can damage the membrane. Periodically check for any signs of wear on the seams or fabric that might compromise waterproofing.
  3. Odour Control: The cleansport NXT™ treatment is designed to last. Regular airing and drying of the shoes after use will help maintain its effectiveness.
