I bought these boots at full price hoping for an amazing shoe to use for outdoors rain or shine and for a long period of time.I was very excited to get them as I've heard great things about merrells and this would be my first experience. In the store the shoes felt great and made walking feel like a breeze but when it came to standing outside for a few minutes while it lightly snowed, my socks began to feel wet. I couldn't believe it! Even my non waterproof shoes could withstand a centimeter of snow landing on them without getting soaked like that. I felt scammed as there is a little metal plate on the shoes stating they are waterproof.I emailed Merrell about this thinking it may have been a defective pair but never once did I get a reply.It's really a shame ... MoreI bought these boots at full price hoping for an amazing shoe to use for outdoors rain or shine and for a long period of time.I was very excited to get them as I've heard great things about merrells and this would be my first experience.

This shoe would completely ruin a hike!If the option to share pictures is disabled for mobile I would show just how soaked these shoes get after getting in contact with a couple centimeters of snow.

I am hard on footwear. I need the ankle support due to old injuries and these fit the bill for almost everything. I wear them to my office job, working outdoors on the farm, and hiking Moab trails. The traction is great on every surface including slickrock yet they still don't seem to trap much mud or debris to track into the house. They are a little heavier than the non-waterproof version and are a little warmer as you'd expect. I have both. My only complaint is that these run a little smaller than the non-waterproof version and one of the boots is now a bit too tight. I don't remember this being an issue at first and think maybe the boots shrunk a half size after being soaked a few times. And I mean SOAKED. When the stream gets too deep, waterproof is no longer ... MoreI am hard on footwear. I need the ankle support due to old injuries and these fit the bill for almost everything.

The cushioning and weight are a lifesaver for those with a bad back.

I have had these shoes before and have bought them again.They are extremely hard wearing and comfortable. Due to this shape they do not compress your toes and I find that you only have to loosen the top set of laces and pull the tongue to free your foot easily.Cons.For me I found the lining of the heel disintegrated within the first three months. I spent the next two years gluing bits of cloth in so that I could keep wearing the shoes.The tow caps started to break up within the first year and looked rather unsightly even though the shoe still function fairly well. This is happened with two different types of boots that I had bought.Even with this this, with the comfort of the shoes I have bought them again.This time I have bought from local store and intend to ... MoreI have had these shoes before and have bought them again.They are extremely hard wearing and comfortable.

I bought these on advice from online threads for its wide toe box and great feel. I have wide feet and bought it in my size/w. They are amazing. I got them with the Appalachian trails in mind where I previously hiked and left limping with my feet beat up from the vertical rock pilings. I was actually concerned when unboxing that these would be too stiff and heavy to be effective. The shoe holds you in the heel cup and transfers well through steps. Going downhill you are secure and left with your toes free from the usual smashing that happens in most shoes with a weak mid upper and narrow toe. The vibram souls are great on wet asphalt, mossy rocks, damp logs, ice, and turf. Short of shoes with metal studs in the lugs these are the best thing you can find to offer ... MoreI bought these on advice from online threads for its wide toe box and great feel.

They are pleasantly light for all of the sole and tread and breathe really well. They handled the damp wonderfully. Comfort and capability in one package. Amazing value.
Best boot for me. Wide Merrell Moabs, both lowand mid hikers, work well for me right out of the box. I have been wearing Moabs since 2007. Since they came out with a wide width for ladies (my foot is too small for men’s sizes), I haven’t looked elsewhere. The only complaint I have is that the shoe laces could be a couple inches longer. I end up buying longer laces just about every time especially for the mid hikers. I’ve taken my boots trekking in Tasmania, in the grass hills of Ireland , along the coast and mountains of Italy, in the high mountains of Colorado, as well as the the Washington Cascades, Glacier and Rocky Mountains National Parks, the AT within the Shenandoah National Park, in the Great Smoky Mountains NP, …. I generally put in 1500 to 1800 miles a ... MoreBest boot for me. Wide Merrell Moabs, both lowand mid hikers, work well for me right out of the box. I have been wearing Moabs since 2007.

I have completed one 6 km walk wearing my new lo-top Merrell Moab 3 shoes.The Pros:These shoes have excellent grip with their coarse-lug Vibram soles.The size is a good match for my 10½W foot size, so ordering online worked out. The shoes are slightly wider and longer than my `regular’ 10½W shoes, but this works well given the thicker socks that I tend to wear while hiking.The Cons:The outsole and midsole are sufficiently thin that I can feel the individual lugs of the Vibram sole pressing against the sole of my foot. I would not have imagined that this was possible. These are early days, but for the moment, this sensation is quite distracting while walking. I expected blisters or corns and calluses to develop, but they have not appeared so far.The sides of ... MoreI have completed one 6 km walk wearing my new lo-top Merrell Moab 3 shoes.The Pros:These shoes have excellent grip with their coarse-lug Vibram soles.The size is a good match for my 10½W foot size, so ordering online worked out.

I expected blisters or corns and calluses to develop, but they have not appeared so far.The sides of the shoe are also thinner than expected, so there is no significant lateral support. This is not a problem while walking on level ground or pavement, but it could be painful or even dangerous if attempting to hike on even slightly uneven ground / trails.
Very comfortable hiker. Love the arch support, great fit overall. But VERY disappointed that these shoes are not in the slightest waterproof. Maybe if you just encounter slight splashes of rain, but in long wet grass you WILL get very wet socks. I very much intentionally purchased these because of the brand and the waterproofing claim. In looking at the material I was skeptical, but the salesperson was adamant that these were very high quality, very waterproof hiking boots. My very wet socks claim differently. There are numerous other reviewers with similar stories. Not sure if these are just chemically treated in the nylon areas and perhaps the treatment is simply inconsistent on the shoes, but if you want waterproof, look elsewhere. Otherwise, they are very ... MoreVery comfortable hiker. Love the arch support, great fit overall. But VERY disappointed that these shoes are not in the slightest waterproof.

As a polio survivor I have split sizes (8.5 and 5, the 5 needing a lift and orthotic work) and so had to buy 2 pairs and take one shoe to an orthotist who could do the work and also put the Vibram sole back on. Once all that expensive work was done I broke them in and soon after took them on a strenuous trip to Peru including Machu Picchu and other such sites plus tons of city walking. They were and are nothing short of fabulous! Worth every penny! P.S. I'm 75 years old and have had lifelong foot and ankle issues and thus my standards for comfort, balance and stability are high. My Moab 3s gave me no blisters and have a very comfortable lining that prevents inner slippage. Externally, they have excellent sole grip and ankle stability even on wet, slippery, uneven ... MoreAs a polio survivor I have split sizes (8.5 and 5, the 5 needing a lift and orthotic work) and so had to buy 2 pairs and take one shoe to an orthotist who could do the work and also put the Vibram sole back on.

I can’t remember if I bought these at REI orginal for not, but I had a pair of these boots that I believe I bought before going to Africa. Over 2.5 months We hiked around in all kinds of terrain throughout the South African bushveld, and these boots were amazing. Comfortable right out of the box, durable, cleaned up nicely, just great. I brought them home with me and started a job as a biologist that led me to do walking surveys in really varied terrain anyway from 5 to as much as 14 miles a day. Again, boots still great. My only note is what finally killed rhem were fox tails. I think after some 10 miles one day in dense fox tails, the mesh, laces, and interior got so inundated with fox tails, there was no coming back. But again, that was years and years of heavy ... MoreI can’t remember if I bought these at REI orginal for not, but I had a pair of these boots that I believe I bought before going to Africa.

I think after some 10 miles one day in dense fox tails, the mesh, laces, and interior got so inundated with fox tails, there was no coming back. But again, that was years and years of heavy walking. And they were still very comfortable at that time. I would buy again in a heart beat, but probably get the waterproof or gore Tex ones now (that wasn’t an option before). And would advise if you are walking in dense vegetation like I was to invest in some kind of gaiters to keep the spikey stuff out of them. For my work purposes these days I tend to stick to a pull leather boot (blundstones) to fend off the fox tails, but those don’t provide good lace up support. Anyways, don’t hesitate to get these, they are great, you won’t regret. I bought mine 12 years ago and don’t know what’s kept me from buying another pair. I have some Oboz currently that are hot garbage by comparison.
I have worn Moab Mids for something like 15 years, this was my 4th pair. I have loved these boots for their comfort and fit right out of the box, they have never caused blisters or hotspots, they were supportive and rugged but also lightweight, my absolute favorite boot. The design, however, seems to have changed and not for the better. I immediately noticed the new boots had a different shape than my old pair, but didn’t really think much of it. Unfortunately within just the first few steps of my hike I noticed an uncomfortable rubbing on the back of my ankles. After less than a mile a large blister had developed in the back of my right ankle and a smaller one was forming on the left. There is a very stiff, thick seam running on the inside of the ankle about 2 cm ... MoreI have worn Moab Mids for something like 15 years, this was my 4th pair.

There is a very stiff, thick seam running on the inside of the ankle about 2 cm from the top of the boot which is what is causing the issue. I was able to finish my hike after applying bandaids and moleskin and I was hoping the seam would soften but it really hasn’t done so and it started rubbing on my ankle bones as well. It took me years to find boots that didn’t cause issues and now I’m going to have to go back to square one to find new boots, which is very frustrating, especially after the amount I spent on this new pair.
