FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which is one of the most trusted technologies for keeping water out while allowing sweat to escape.
Are these suitable for long-distance backpacking?
They are designed for athletic hiking; while they offer great comfort, they are lighter than traditional heavy-duty backpacking boots.
How do I clean the Vibram outsole?
Use a medium-bristle brush and warm water to scrub away mud and debris from between the lugs.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if needed.
Should I size up for these boots?
The Moab Speed 2 has an athletic fit. It is recommended to try them on with your preferred hiking socks to ensure the correct size for your specific foot shape.
Do these boots require a break-in period?
While they are comfortable out of the box due to their athletic design, it is always recommended to perform a few shorter hikes before embarking on a long excursion.
Troubleshooting
Boots feeling damp inside
Ensure they are fully dried after use. If sweat is the cause, remove the insoles after hiking to improve ventilation.
Slipping on wet surfaces
Check the tread for packed mud or debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly with a stiff brush to restore grip.
Heel slippage
Try a different lacing technique, such as the 'heel lock' or 'runner's loop,' to pull the heel deeper into the heel counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last for many seasons, proper maintenance is essential. Upon first use, wear the boots for short walks to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. For cleaning, remove loose dirt after each hike using a soft brush or cloth; if the boots are heavily soiled, rinse them with water and mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area—never near a direct heat source like a radiator, which can degrade the adhesive and damage the membrane. Ensure the laces are tightened properly to leverage the integrated heel counter for maximum stability. When not in use, store them in a dry, temperate environment to prevent the breakdown of the GORE-TEX membrane.
