FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane designed to keep feet dry in wet and inclement weather.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While they are waterproof, they are not insulated; they are best suited for 3-season use unless paired with thermal socks.
How does the sizing compare to regular shoes?
They generally run true to size, though it is recommended to account for the thickness of hiking socks when choosing your fit.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The full-length rock plate acts as a shield between your foot and sharp trail hazards like stones, providing added protection and stability.
How do I clean the Vibram outsole?
Use a soft-bristled brush and lukewarm water to remove mud and debris from the lugs after each use.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking through the boot
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is still active; if water doesn't bead, re-apply a DWR spray treatment to the outer fabric.
Heel slippage while hiking
Adjust your lacing technique to a 'heel lock' or 'runner's loop' at the top eyelets to secure the ankle.
Foot fatigue during long hikes
Ensure you are using the correct arch support or consider swapping to a premium aftermarket insole for a more personalized fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Moab Speed 2 boots, perform a quick check of the laces and heel fit before your first hike. These boots are true-to-size, so pair them with high-quality hiking socks to optimize the fit. After wet or muddy hikes, remove the insoles and allow the boots to air-dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and the GORE-TEX membrane. Clean the outsole of packed debris after every trip to maintain optimal traction. Re-apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for synthetic materials if you notice water no longer beads on the surface after extended use.
