FAQs

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX® boots are designed with a standard fit. While they offer a good amount of room, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them too narrow. It's always best to try them on if possible or consider alternative wide-fit models.

How long will the GORE-TEX® waterproofing last?

The GORE-TEX® membrane is highly durable. With proper care and maintenance, the waterproofing can last for the expected lifespan of the boots. Regular cleaning and allowing them to air dry are key to preserving the membrane's integrity.

Can I use these boots for winter hiking?

These boots offer excellent waterproofing and warmth for cool conditions. However, they are not insulated winter boots. For deep snow or freezing temperatures, consider adding thermal socks or looking for boots specifically designed for winter conditions.

What is the difference between this and a standard Moab hiking boot?

The Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX® incorporates innovations from athletic hiking and trail running lines, featuring increased underfoot foam for enhanced comfort and a new Vibram® TC5+ outsole for improved traction. It maintains the reliability of the Moab line while offering a more modern, performance-oriented design.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX® lining?

The GORE-TEX® lining is part of the boot's internal structure. Clean the exterior of the boot as instructed. If the interior feels damp or requires cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap, ensuring thorough drying afterwards to prevent material degradation.

What kind of terrain are these boots best suited for?

These boots excel on a variety of terrains including dirt trails, rocky paths, gravel, and moderate mud. The Vibram® outsole provides reliable grip across most outdoor environments. They are ideal for day hikes and multi-day treks.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet inside the boots

Ensure the GORE-TEX® membrane is intact and not damaged. Check that laces are tied properly to prevent water ingress from the top. If boots are heavily soaked from submersion, allow ample time for natural drying. Consider if socks are contributing to moisture retention.

Boots feel uncomfortable or cause blisters

Verify you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with different hiking socks. Allow for a break-in period by wearing them on shorter walks before longer hikes. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose.

Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces

Clean the outsole of mud or debris, as this can significantly reduce grip. Understand that no outsole is suitable for all conditions; extreme ice may require additional traction devices. Ensure you are maintaining proper hiking technique for the terrain.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace the laces with a durable, synthetic pair suitable for hiking boots. Ensure laces are not excessively tied or rubbed against abrasive surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on various surfaces thanks to Vibram® TC5+.
  • Noticeably more comfortable with increased underfoot cushioning.
  • Reliable waterproofing keeps feet dry in wet weather.
  • Enhanced breathability for improved comfort during activity.
  • Sturdy build with features for trail protection and stability.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • The mid-height design might feel restrictive for some hikers.
  • While durable, the textile upper may be less abrasion-resistant than leather in extremely rough conditions.
  • Color options may be limited depending on availability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use with no extensive setup required. They are true to size and offer a standard fit, so we recommend ordering your usual shoe size. Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for a secure, comfortable fit before hitting the trail.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard hiking socks. For optimal GORE-TEX® performance, avoid thick wool socks that could impede breathability. These boots are designed for use on trails, uneven terrain, and in various weather conditions.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your boots:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Do not machine wash.
  2. 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 the waterproofing.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but periodically inspect the boots for any signs of wear. While the boots are inherently waterproof, you can use specific waterproofing treatments for textile footwear if you notice a decrease in water repellency on the outer material over time. Always follow the product instructions for any treatments used.
