I’m usually a size 6, but went for a 6.5, and with my hiking socks, the boots fit like a glove.Looking to go on some hiking trails near home as these boots are for my upcoming trip to Machu Picchu/Peru this summer!

    I bought the Merrell Moab 3 WP Hiking Boots as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend, and she absolutely loves them! This is her second pair, and they’ve proven to be just as comfortable and durable as the first. The fit is perfect—no breaking in needed, and they’re incredibly comfortable for long hikes. The rugged design ensures great traction on various terrains, and the waterproof feature is a huge plus, especially on rainy days or muddy trails.

    Size: 5.5Color: GraniteVerified Purchase
    Fantastic hiking boots! Great support all around my feet and ankles. Some reviewers have noted a “hard bump/lump” and found it uncomfortable. The arch support in the boots are exactly where they need to be, so I do not find them uncomfortable. For reference, I wear a size 5.5 M width in Nike Women’s running shoes and I ordered the 5.5 M width in the hiking boots. I tried them on with the yoga/pilates socks since I was already wearing them when I opened the box. I did not find it uncomfortable or tight, they feel nice. I can get thinner socks if I want a little more room, but the fit is perfect and I do not anticipate blisters since my feet will not slide around inside the boots. I find the toe bed comfortable, too. Not tight at all! I am extremely pleased with this purchase.
    I purchased my husband the same model boots, in Men’s and the sizing was correct for him, as well. He loves his boots for the same reasons I indicated above. He has also noted that he feels he stands up straighter and his posture is better when wearing his boots.
    Overall all, very comfortable, extremely well made, excellent quality, excellent soles, and made to last.

And I feel like I could stand on the side of a vertical drop and not slip with these vibram soles. Really great buy. Ankle support is great and I feel like they me walk better and with better form.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Size up - 1 Full Shoe Size, and customize
    Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2023
    Size: 9Color: GraniteVerified Purchase
    Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot : My advice ~ Size up 1 (one) FULL SHOE SIZE.
    I typically wear Women Reg Size 8. I sized up to 8.5 Reg, but they were too small for comfort. Returned those, and replaced with a size 9. Note: they also offer "wide" sizes, for those who need it.
    My experience: Mountain hiking, boot comfort is especially important for long and difficult treks. The tread is excellent! - especially for mud, snow, slush and steep conditions. AS expected, always walk carefully on ice. These are solid, sturdy boot with good low-mid ankle support. The insoles are not very padded (not to my comfort level). Easy remedy ~ Good comfort shoe inserts ~ fitted into the boot, makes for a really pleasant hiking/walking experience for hours on end.
    That's why I suggest getting one-full-size larger boot; Room to wear a heavier sock, PLUS add the insert for more cushion on the insole. Once I got the boot adjusted/fitted correctly to my foot, they're PERFECT, like walking on air. What I appreciate the most is the sure-footed experience, when hiking on uneven and extreme terrain.
    No such thing as a lifetime boot, but these are well made and should last a very long time.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect shoes for hiking but size up!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2022
    Size: 10.5 WideColor: GraniteVerified Purchase
    I bought these specifically for a trip to Ireland. I read all the reviews because shoe sizing can be finicky when ordering online. A lot of reviews for these said to size up a half size. I decided to just get my normal size 10 and see how it fit. I can now say, with full experience, size up a half!! The reviews were right. The 10 fit perfect, but my toes were just barely not touching the toe box. With a thicker sock, it became snug. So I returned the pair (thank you Amazon for your amazing customer service) and sized up, and also got it in a wide.

    Why wide? Well, while the toe box was perfect, anyone who has been hiking knows your feet are going to shift in your shoe with terrain. Not a good thing, but not a bad thing. I happen to have a normal size foot and never purchase anything in wide unless i am looking for a little more play in my toe box. If you want a snug fit, get your normal size, if you want a thicker sock and some play in your toe box so you toes don't rub or get blisters, get the wide. It's not really much wider than the normal size.

    Also, this granite color is pretty awesome! I thought it would be darker gray, but I was pleasantly surprised with the lighter gray and some pop of blue in there. I did try the same shoe in the altitude color which was cute, but a little too sky baby blue for my liking.

    Anyway, these have great ankle support (I've had 3 surgeries on my Achilles and brevis tendons, so support is everything) and they lace up nice and tight.

    There is good arch support and the heel cup is comfortable.

    I have a pair of moab 2 vents and these are pretty comparable in comfortability.

    I also want to note that these are pretty light weight wise. I don't feel like I'm clunking around or dragging my feet. I was actually surprised at how nicely these feel weight wise.

    I'd recommend these hiking boots and size up a half!
