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