FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
While the GORE-TEX® offers waterproofing, these boots are designed more for three-season use. For dedicated winter hiking, consider insulated boots.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is enough room to wiggle your toes, but your heel should feel secure and not lift excessively when walking. A UK 7.5 is specified for this model.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles for personalized comfort and support.
What is the benefit of the FlexPlate™ technology?
The FlexPlate™ provides underfoot stability and protection against sharp objects on the trail, while still allowing for a degree of flexibility in the boot's movement.
How often should I clean my boots?
Clean your boots after each significant use to remove dirt and debris, which helps maintain the materials and waterproofing. Allow them to air dry thoroughly.
Are these boots good for wide feet?
The general fit is designed for a standard width. If you have wider feet, trying them on with your preferred hiking socks is recommended, or looking for specific wide-fit versions if available.
What is the primary advantage of the Moab Speed 2 over the original Moab?
The Moab Speed 2 offers improved traction with Vibram® TC5+, a significant increase in underfoot foam for better cushioning, and enhanced breathability, building on the trusted Moab legacy.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or stiff initially.
Allow for a break-in period of several hikes to let the materials conform to your feet. Wear them with appropriate hiking socks for comfort.
Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX®.
Ensure the GORE-TEX® membrane is intact and not damaged. Check that laces are tied correctly to prevent water ingress from the top. Ensure socks are not the source of moisture (e.g., non-wicking material).
Traction is reduced on certain surfaces.
Clean the outsole lugs of mud or debris. The Vibram® TC5+ provides excellent grip, but extreme conditions or worn-down surfaces may naturally reduce traction.
Unpleasant odor develops.
The Cleansport NXT™ treatment helps control odor. Ensure boots are aired out after each use and dried thoroughly. Occasional cleaning can also help.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with cold water. Do not use soap or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: To maintain the GORE-TEX® performance, periodically clean the boots. For best results, follow specific GORE-TEX® product care guidelines if available from the manufacturer.
