Perfect for varying terrain, it offers a significant increase in underfoot cushioning and improved breathability, though it may feel less supportive than a traditional stiff-soled high-cut hiking boot.

FAQs
Are the Moab Speed 2 shoes waterproof?
This model focuses on high-breathability; please check for specific Gore-Tex labeled versions if full waterproofing is required.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, they are inspired by trail running technology and are well-suited for fast-paced hiking and light trail running.
How do these compare to the original Moab?
The Speed 2 is significantly lighter and more athletic, whereas the original Moab is heavier, sturdier, and offers more traditional ankle support.
Does the shoe accommodate orthotic insoles?
Yes, the stock insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the foam and rubber compounds.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned specifically at the eyelet closest to the ankle to lock the heel in place.
Dirt entering the shoe
Consider using a low-profile gaiter if hiking in very sandy or dusty conditions.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the lugs thoroughly with a stiff brush to remove compacted mud that inhibits traction.

- Highly breathable upper keeps feet cool in warm weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure you wear the correct thickness of hiking socks during your initial fitting to account for the secure heel design. To clean your Moab Speed 2 shoes, remove loose dirt after each hike using a soft-bristled brush. If they become muddy, clean them with lukewarm water and a mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the performance materials.
