THE MOAB FOR HIKERS WHO WANT TO MOVE FASTER
The Moab Speed 2 GTX shifts the familiar Moab idea toward a more athletic hiking shoe. More foam, waterproofing, Vibram traction, and a running-shoe-like profile make it better suited to fast day hikes and travel than the traditional Moab 3. The trade is structure and familiarity: hikers who like the stable, substantial feel of the classic Moab may prefer the original.
Best for hikers who want a lighter, more athletic feel than a traditional hiking shoe.
Added foam increases underfoot cushioning for long moving days.
GORE-TEX and Vibram traction keep the faster platform useful in wet mixed terrain.
Tradeoff: It gives up some of the traditional Moab’s planted, supportive feel in exchange for a more dynamic ride.
