FAQs
Are these slides waterproof?
The Moab 2 Slide is made of leather and breathable mesh, which are water-resistant but not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
They are designed for light activities and recovery; for serious hiking, a shoe with a secured heel is recommended.
How do I determine my size?
This model follows standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical size for hiking footwear.
Does the leather require special cleaning?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dust and a damp cloth for spots. Avoid harsh detergents.
What is the benefit of the nylon arch shank?
It provides structural integrity and stiffness to the middle of the shoe, preventing excessive foot fatigue.
Troubleshooting
Leather appearing dry or stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to restore suppleness.
Slippage on very loose terrain
Ensure the fit is snug by wearing appropriate thickness socks if needed, noting that slides are not meant for steep loose inclines.
Insole surface feels slick
Clean the footbed with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove oils or dirt buildup, then air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the Moab 2 Slide; simply ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot shape. To maintain the integrity of the full-grain leather, avoid soaking the sandals in water for extended periods. If they become dirty, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as high heat can damage the foam midsole and the leather finish. Check the outsole periodically for any debris stuck in the tread to keep the traction performance optimal.
