FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the 'Vent' series is designed for maximum airflow and does not feature a waterproof membrane.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, their lightweight and responsive design makes them suitable for light gym work, though they are specifically tuned for trail surfaces.
How do I ensure the right size?
The Moab Speed 2 Vent 2K follows standard sizing conventions; we recommend trying them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest.
Is the outsole suitable for slippery rocks?
The Vibram TC5+ outsole offers great traction, but always exercise caution on wet, mossy, or icy surfaces as no shoe is immune to slipping.
What is the primary material used in the sole?
The outsole is made of high-performance Vibram TC5+ rubber, incorporating 30% recycled content.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, we recommend hand cleaning with a soft brush and water to maintain the integrity of the materials and adhesives.
Troubleshooting
Debris entering the shoe
Consider using low-profile gaiters if you are trekking on loose gravel or sandy paths.
Insole slipping or moving
Remove the factory insert, clean the footbed, and ensure the insole is placed flat before wearing.
Material stiffness
Wear the shoes indoors for several short periods to allow the footbed to contour to your shape before heading on long hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, though note that synthetic materials offer little 'stretch-in' time compared to genuine leather. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing as it can degrade the adhesive bonds. Instead, remove loose dirt after each hike using a soft brush. If the trainers become wet, air dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from becoming brittle or warping. To clean, use a damp cloth with mild, environmentally friendly soap.
