FAQs
Is the Moab Speed 2 Vent 2K waterproof?
No, this model is specifically designed for ventilation and airflow. It is not waterproof and will soak through if submerged in water.
Can I use these shoes for long-distance backpacking?
They are ideal for light, fast-paced hiking. For heavy-duty, multi-day backpacking with a significant pack weight, a more supportive, structured boot might be preferred.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather or using harsh chemicals.
What does the 30% recycled rubber label mean?
It means the Vibram outsole is manufactured using a percentage of repurposed rubber, reducing waste without sacrificing the grip and durability of the Vibram brand.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal footbeds are removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Visible debris inside the shoe after use
Remove the footbed insert, shake the shoe out thoroughly, and use compressed air if debris is caught in the vented mesh areas.
Reduced traction on slick surfaces
Check the outsole for compacted mud or embedded stones that may be preventing the Vibram lugs from making full contact with the ground.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the lacing tension through the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling that occurs during long hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Moab Speed 2 shoes, it is important to allow them to air dry fully after every use, especially after heavy perspiration or dusty treks. Since the exterior features leather, avoid machine washing or aggressive scrubbing with stiff brushes. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to remove dried mud and debris. Store the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam and leather over time. If the laces wear out, replace them with high-friction hiking laces to maintain the intended secure fit.
