FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Moab Speed 2 Vent 2K is designed primarily for breathability. While they can handle brief exposure to moisture, they are not classified as waterproof.
Can I use these for running?
While lightweight, they are specifically engineered for hiking. They can be used for light trail running, but specialized running shoes are recommended for high-mileage road or track running.
How do I determine my size?
The shoe uses standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your foot length against a standard size chart to ensure a proper fit with your preferred hiking socks.
Does the shoe contain animal-based materials?
This model utilizes synthetic leather, making it an excellent choice for those seeking to avoid traditional full-grain animal leathers.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram TC5+ outsole?
The TC5+ provides high-level traction on varied surfaces while incorporating recycled materials, balancing performance with sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long hikes
Check if your insoles are properly seated or consider using aftermarket arch-support insoles if needed.
Accumulated debris inside the shoe
Use gaiters to prevent rocks and dirt from entering the collar of the shoe during trail use.
Reduced grip on smooth surfaces
Thoroughly clean the outsole with a brush to remove embedded clay or mud that clogs the tread patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the surface with mild soap and water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like heaters or fireplaces, as these can warp the adhesive and synthetic materials.
- Maintenance: Periodically remove the footbed to shake out debris.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks to maximize the effectiveness of the ventilation system.
