FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Moab Speed 2 uses a durable nylon ripstop upper, but it is not explicitly advertised as waterproof. For wet environments, water-repellent sprays may provide some resistance.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, their athletic, lightweight design makes them very suitable for trail running and fast-paced hiking.
How does the sizing run?
They are designed to fit true to size. If you prefer to wear thicker wool socks, some users prefer to size up by a half-size.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The rock plate is a rigid layer placed between the outsole and midsole that prevents sharp stones and roots from poking through the sole to your foot.
Are these shoes machine washable?
We recommend hand washing. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the TPU overlays and the adhesive.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Moab series is generally known for a comfortable, accommodating fit, though individual foot shape can vary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a few hours of hiking
Feet naturally swell during activity; try adjusting your lacing technique to allow for more volume or consider thinner hiking socks.
Debris getting inside the shoe
Consider wearing trail gaiters if you are frequently walking through tall grass or loose, rocky terrain.
Outsole losing traction
Inspect the lugs for embedded stones or packed mud. Use a stiff brush to clear the tread patterns thoroughly.
Pros and Cons

- Material may require specific cleaning methods to maintain durability
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Moab Speed 2 shoes last for many seasons, proper care is essential. Since the upper is constructed from nylon ripstop, it is best to remove mud and trail debris with a soft-bristled brush after every hike. Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight or near heat sources to dry, as this can degrade the rubber outsole and the bonding materials. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a mild soap and cold water mixture. Ensure the internal footbed is removed and dried separately to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
