5 out of 5 stars
These work better for my injured right ankle and are enabling longer walks.
I have a multi-injured-over-decades right ankle with associated bad MRI report (am a doctor myself and understand the degree of injury). I've had to limit my walking due to irritation that develops over time when walking. On a lark because they were on sale, I purchased these Merrell hiking shoes even though I can't take serious mountain hikes. To my surprise, not only are these comfortable but provide a degree of lateral stability without irritating me. I'm now increasing my walking distance as a result and am very happy with these boots.

    I have been buying this model for many years, and each time the pair lasts about 3 to 4 years due the great quality. Thanks to the Gore-tex membrane, I wear it in any season, only the socks are different. This is the 5-th pair. I am glad that once, thanks to discounts at Cabelas (in its best days), I found my model of boots for every day, and I continue to stick to this model that does not disappoint me, unlike others. Always the same size, always comfortable and light, always GTX version.

    Gore Tex is the only waterproofing I've found that is, in fact, truly effective. I can't claim to have tried them all, but of those I have tried, the result was, across the board, varying levels of disappointment. I can say that the word Gore-Tex in the description is almost certainly going to add a double digit lift to the pricetag. But in this case, and at a sale price, I have found this boot to more than fill the bill. A Wide size, I was initially concerned as to the fit, but with the thicker sock appropriate for this type of boot, it is amply comfortable. I haven't used it for off-trial hiking or foraging, so I can't speak to wear issues in this regard. I wanted a boot for rain and wet conditions, working outside and walking for exercise and this boot has more than filled the bill. I can't speak to environemental concerns, snow use, or heavy-duty backpacking trail considerations, biut for every day use in wet weather, this boot, even in a later design, I would say is a value oriented and effective, highly wearable product worth consideration.

    After many hikes, it was time to replace my Moab 2 Mid waterproof boots. The two's replaced an original pair of Moabs. From the original to the two I had to go a 1/2 size down from 9.5 to 10 US. This made the sole length correct but the material on top was tight, but ok.

    I decided to spend the extra for the new 3 version as well as the Gore-Tex. and I ordered my normal shoe size 10.

    The fit was perfect. Comfortable. I've hiked about 20 miles on these now and no break in or discomfort.

    My last two Moab boots were 'waterproof'. I found this to be marginal. Walking in wet grass, my toes would be wet in 10 minutes. With the Gore-Tex version my feet are dry. Have I crossed creeks, or dipped the boot into water? Not yet!

    I'm also feeling more arch support with the 3's. My last pair I used inserts but not needed with this pair. There is also additional reinforcement up the back of the boot compared to the 2's. The overall fit around the top of the boot is sturdier and feels more secure.

    The weak point for my last two pairs is the mesh used on the top area eventually rips. Usually after a lot of hiking and miles. I'd like to see a stronger mesh/fabric used. Thus 4 out of 5 stars.

    I look at cheaper boots and the fit and finish isn't there. More expensive boots are well, more expensive. Merrell Moab boots continue to hit the sweet spot to me for value and comfort.

    5.0 out of 5 stars perfect hiking shoes ever
    Reviewed in Germany on March 5, 2025
    Color: WalnutSize: 11 WideVerified Purchase
    I'we tried during last year more than four different pairs of shoes from different producers (from famous to no name) for hiking purposes and every of them last no longer than two months of daily walking (4-8 km daily, trail difficulty - easy). Only these provide me real waterproof capabilities, and they are still living after six months of using without any visible signs of wearing. I will buy another pair just to have spared one just in case.

    Color: PecanSize: 10.5Verified Purchase
    Très légères, un confort incomparable, des vrais chaussons. Une qualité qui se ressent tout de suite, Gore TeX + Vibram c'est le top.
    Attention néanmoins, elles taillent petit.
    J'avais lu un commentaire le dessus, je chausse entre 43 et 43.5, j'avais donc choisi du 44.5 mais c'est encore trop petit pour être au confort optimal. Je recommande une paire en 45. J'espère que ça sera bon. Ce qui signifie +1.5 sur la taille. Méfiance donc.
    J'ai hâte de recevoir la nouvelle paire.
    maj : taille 45 reçues, c'est bien ça, donc entre une taille et une taille et demi au dessus.
    Mais quel bonheur !!!! Des chaussons. Côté poids elles sont à 540grs, j'ai l'équivalent chez Millet qui sont plus orienté moyenne montagne , crampons et raquettes, (des chaussons aussi, un confort extraordinaire) qui sont légères mais à 650grs quand-même.
    Je suis enchanté.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is my second pair of MOABs..
    Reviewed in Singapore on June 3, 2024
    Color: BelugaSize: 9.5Verified Purchase
    I am not a hiker, but I find the MOABs Mid provide good ankle support, have good enough traction for most surface, yet a sole that does not wear away too fast. I don’t hike with the shoe, but I used it quite a lot to walk about during work, fishing etc, and the MOAB 2 lasted me 4-5 years, and the sole is still fine, only that it’s opening up on both sides..

    The only reason I am getting the MOAB3 shoes is that I am unable to get my hands on good contact cement (I read it was recommended to use barge cement) to glue back the soles for my MOAB2, else I will be probably using that for another few more years!

    Edit: weirdly, my MOAB2 was 9W.. felt big, plus with the wide, it was a bit loose, so I had to wear thicker socks. The MOAB is 9.5 .. it feels snug..
