These are all-around great shoes for camping/hiking (backpacking TBD). Would recommend. Very comfortable - my feet are particular and I haven't had any unusual blisters (longest hike 6 miles). I can fit my orthotics on top of the insoles, and the footbox is wide enough. (Granted I went up 1/2 a size from 7.5 to 8 like I usually do with hiking boots for foot expansion and thick socks.) Compared to the 2011 Vasques I bought at REI 10 years ago these are *20%* lighter (I measured, but I felt it right away) and also waterproof. If someone was like “I need new hiking boots,” I’d be like "yeah you probably wouldn’t go wrong with these" - comfy, practical, sturdy, light, grippy Vibram soles, and no issues so far.When I picked up my feet and felt how light they were, I ... MoreThese are all-around great shoes for camping/hiking (backpacking TBD).

No more fears of discomfort for days because of one misstep in my only boots. I often poo-poo new tech because it seems unnecessary, but I get it now. I haven't noticed them retaining more sweat than usual. And, their lightness makes them mentally easier to throw them in the car or pack them in a bag than before. Other new cool features were the reflective laces (safety), how the sole goes up the back of the heel (when I use one foot to take the other shoe off the sole doesn’t start to separate from the upper like my old ones), and the back hoop for pulling them over your heel is strung through the shoe and very sturdy. (I do wonder if it could be bigger for people with large fingers.) The lace hooks are also very sturdy metal vs plastic, which gives them a quality feel. These were fixes to problems I was aware of, and also improvements to issues I didn't even know I had.The main problem for me is their looks. Not terrible and the blue matches my pants, but I am *tired* of subtly gendered colors, and (as my friend says) *ready* for the full-function hiking boot that can go from the trail to the restaurant/hotel, so the only other pair of shoes you need are shower flip-flops. The fit and the form is there - but Merrell could really lure me in (and IMO open up a new niche that would become the standard) with a sleeker, minimalist exterior and more modern/imaginative colors (while keeping all of the practicality). My friend has the taller Merrell winter hiking boots that are all black and I wish these were offered in all black (or even all brown or grey) at the very least. I do feel like I should be pairing these with khaki zip-offs, a mismatched trail button down and an archeological treasure map, which I would wear if I had them and also a time and place. But I don't, so let's hurry up the innovation please hiking boot industry.My potential future caveats are that because I haven’t owned them over multiple years, is that I don’t know how they’ll hold up (including the waterproofing/how to care for the waterproofing) and I haven’t taken them backpacking. So far the soles feel less sturdy than my high-top Vasques (can’t feel a thing through those, but can feel a little bit through these) so I will still take the Vasques backpacking as my tried-and-true. But I’ll take these on non-backpacking camping trips, post-work daily hikes, and when I’m near water.

I’ve hiked regularly with these boots and am very pleased with them. First of all, they were the best fit for my wide, flat feet. And I love the fact that they don’t have pink or purple on them - why do manufacturers think all women want to wear girly colors, all the time? They have decent, moderate ankle support, and don’t bruise my ankles at the top of the boot! The laces don’t loosen up as I walk if I cross them only one extra time, just below the top, so they hold my feet in place securely without squeezing them too hard. They protect my feet from rocks and roots nicely. They grip the terrain well, though I haven’t been far enough from home to get above tree-line yet. I pronate badly in most boots, but these center my weight over the soles pretty well. My feet ... MoreI’ve hiked regularly with these boots and am very pleased with them.

The only complaint I have is that they could have more arch support, but then they probably wouldn’t fit as many women. Hoping the moderate cushioning lasts a long time, and looking forward to putting many more miles on them!

I have very wide feet with bunions on each foot. I also have a bone spur on the back of my right heel. Therefore, I have difficulties finding comfortable shoes. My first hike I went on, I wore hiking boots that looked brand new but were at least 15 years old. After the 7-mile hike, I had a blister on the back of my heel where the bone spur is and my toes and bottoms of my feet were so sore. I felt like I was walking barefoot on the rocks. My feet were sore for a few days following the day of the hike. My brother recommended that I get these Merrills. He has worn Merrills for many years and has never had any issues.

Although the shoes are waterproof, the stream was higher than the tops of my shoes. I sloshed in my Merrills for the majority of the hike. My feet were very happy in these shoes, as I was able to walk on big rocks without any difficulty, my feet never were sore, I did not get one blister, and my toes were very happy the entire time. Although the shoes were wet most of the hiking time, they dried out very nicely. I am so happy with these Merrills. I am looking forward to my next hiking trip.

I bought these to begin snowshoeing and they’re perfect. My third pair of Moabs, these Moab 3’s are waterproof as they say, fit well, and my feet do not get tired. I used them when we had snow, and also use them hiking on rough terrain. Bought the Kahtoola nano spikes and those fit really well and snug on these boots. Great combination for walking dogs on slippery ice and compact snow. After reading the reviews to size up, I went up a half size and that was a good decision. Usually wear size 8, got the 81/2 and love them. Plenty of yow box room. Love the feel and these boots are not heavy. Moabs and Merrells last decades, and I’m so happy I decided to try the 3’s. Still happy with my 2’s.
So I bought these on sale after considering a few different boots. I wanted something a bit more aggressive than my merrell Eries. I regret to say that while these boots are decent, they don't really live up to their hype.First the pros: They are very comfortable, and they accommodate an orthotic well, and have good trail isolation. Like I can walk over jagged rocks and not really feel much. They are also pretty waterproof from what I can tell, but I haven't used them in the winter yet.The cons: they don't really have good ankle support, for the price and weight, the boot could be higher. They also feel somewhat clunky on the trail. But the worst con...they are bad in mud. The tread on them is so busy that you can barely shed the mud you might pick up, on top of ... MoreSo I bought these on sale after considering a few different boots.

Its a boot. It will do you fine. But don't get them at full price.
I got these boots as a Christmas gift. It's been cold, so I have only taken them out twice since then. They're already coming apart at the sole, and today both laces finally snapped in half (which made the hike back to my car rather miserable). I've never had an issue with Merrell before, and I've been buying hiking boots from them for over a decade now. But these are garbage. I'm extremely upset that my siblings paid so much for these. They've seen maybe 10 miles total and are in bad shape. I've done nothing different from how I normally hike. I've had Merrell boots go hundreds of miles before showing signs of wear. Not sure if the company has gone downhill or I just got a crappy pair, but it's bad enough that I'm considering switching to a different company for ... MoreI got these boots as a Christmas gift.

Not sure if the company has gone downhill or I just got a crappy pair, but it's bad enough that I'm considering switching to a different company for hiking boots. For comparison, my last boots lasted me from 2016 until fall 2022, when the sole started to give way, and I was hiking at least 5 miles a week (probably averaging closer to 8 miles a week) during those years. Only rating 2 stars because they are more comfortable than previous Merrell boots I've had. Just sucks that they haven't held up as long.
I’ve worn Merrell boots for the past 10 years without any issues. However, I’m incredibly disappointed in how uncomfortable these boots are and the total lack of performance and support on challenging rugged trails. I’ve worn them day hiking on several rocky mountain trails in the PNW, and consistently my feet are left covered in blisters, sore and aching for days after (not exaggerating). Super unsupportive, lack any cushion, seams in uncomfortable places, and no arch support. (Oddly the foot bed is raised in the heel and ball areas of the foot.) I ordered another pair thinking I had received a defective product, but that’s just how the boots fit. I’ve also worn the boots hiking 5 times now thinking they just needed to be broken in, but the only difference is that ... MoreI’ve worn Merrell boots for the past 10 years without any issues.

Really disappointed because of my past positive experience with merrell products. Can’t return the boots either now that they’re worn. Super unfortunate that these just don’t work for me, as a serious hiker who prefers challenging trails. On a positive note, the boots are waterproof, the sole is very grippy, and the color/style are attractive. Fit is tts.
The boots themselves are GREAT. However I don't feel any boot should be sold with the upper boot hooks. I have had this incident happen on a couple of occasions and another occasion on Mother's Day I took the hardest fall. I was going on a casual hike with my family. I did not take my trekking poles. As I was walking the lace of one of my boots got caught in the hook of the other boot and down I went, very hard and very fast. This needs to be designed differently. Not everyone likes to wear gators. A hiking boot should be designed with comfort and safety in mind. I am fortunate I did not break anything but, I sure am sore.

I would like the boot to be a little less thick but not at the expense of sacrificing comfort. Please take away the boot hook.
Purchased these and used them for the first time for exploring Carlsbad Caverns in NM and couldn’t be happier! Hiked over 6 miles in the caverns that day and absolutely no blisters or sore areas on my feet or ankles whatsoever! This is huge for me especially with new boots…needed no breaking in time! Very happy and pleased with my purchase…performed awesomely! It was cool in the caverns (50’s) but my feet stayed warm without sweating…my feet and ankles were not even feeling tired at the end of the day! Thank you Merrell for creating a boot that is comfortable, tough & cool to look at too! Performance is key but I wanted a boot that was stylish as well and I think you achieved that! 👍🏻 I purchased the red, tan & black color! Love them!
Try a few sizes at different stores. Why? Here's my experience: I wanted to get a discount on Merrell's website so my goal was to order online, but before ordering, I decided to try them in-store (not a Merrell store) and the medium size (7.5 - my usual size) fits perfectly and very comfortable; it was like walking on a cloud. I don't have very big feet, but I think my toes are a little bit bigger/wider than the average, and as I said, the fit was perfect. I was like, awesome, but I'd like to try the "wide" size just in case so I ordered the medium size I tried in-store plus the wide size on Merrell's website.Here's what happened: the medium size I tried in the store was not fitting perfectly anymore (my toes were squeezing and I felt a "pressure" above my feet, ... MoreTry a few sizes at different stores.

I was like, awesome, but I'd like to try the "wide" size just in case so I ordered the medium size I tried in-store plus the wide size on Merrell's website.Here's what happened: the medium size I tried in the store was not fitting perfectly anymore (my toes were squeezing and I felt a "pressure" above my feet, but not painful though), and the wide size was very comfortable for my toes, but it was too wide for my left ankle (keep in mind that the wide size means that the whole shoe is wider than the standard size including the size of the ankle).I was confused and didn't know what to do so I contacted Merrell's customer service. Based on their answer, I decided to send them back, but first, I decided to go back to the store where I tried the boots for the very first time and guess what, they fitted perfectly... I was confused, again. The seller asked me to bring the boots I ordered online into the store to compare them together. Fun fact: it was the same size and the same colour indicated on the two boxes, but physically, it was not exactly the same colour: the ones I ordered online had a light grey line on the top of the boots and the ones I tried in the store had a dark grey line on the top (see the picture attached), and the batch numbers were different. I email once again customer service, and they told me they had made some changes that can affect the fit.So, in brief, I would recommend going to different places to try these hiking boots. As I said, my toes are a little bit bigger/wider than the average and the standard size, with the darker grey line, is the perfect fit for me - it's a perfect "in-between" between the standard size and the wider size, and they are very comfortable; it's like walking on a cloud! I can't wait to try these boots on a hike! They look good quality.
