Iāve been wearing Merrell MOAB 2 8ā tactical zip composite toe for the last 3-5yrs and have loved them! However recently I went online to order a new pair and couldnāt find them. All I kept finding was the newer model Moab 3 and the listing never specified composite or regular toe. The Moab 2 could be bought in either toe form. So I decided to call Merrell customer service and actually speak to a representative and ask specifically about composite toe. The representative stated the MOAB only came in composite toe. So I place my order with him over the phone. They show up and guess what??!! They are NOT composite toešš. However, I was in a bind and needed them immediately for work and had no time to waste on shipping them back. Obviously I feel like I was lied to ...Ā MoreIāve been wearing Merrell MOAB 2 8ā tactical zip composite toe for the last 3-5yrs and have loved them!

Terrible customer service. Iāll never buy nor recommend Merrell to anyone EVER again!

I'm a federal officer that recently purchased these boots. After only wearing them for a couple of days, I had to run in them while responding to an incident. Very comfortable. If you are looking for comfort, these boots are the way to go. Also, if you are wearing the green tactical BDU cargo pants from 5.11, these boots match the pants.

I went through 2 of these. The first on the PLASTIC eyelet broke off just while lacing them. The second pair had a defective (plastic) zipper. Obviously poor quality (too much plastic). It is unfortunate, because they were really comfortable, and I have a hard time finding shoes that fit me right. I exchanged them first because I really liked the comfort, but I opted for a refund because I got 2 defective products in a row. (The only reason I rated 2 stars was because of the confort.) Hopefully Merrill will make something similar in the future with better quality.

They were great until they werenāt. Iām in law enforcement and we work 12 hour shifts. This was my first set of Merrellās after 7 years of 5.11s. I bought these in October and by July the top eyelet busted off. Before then, I couldnāt recommend any other boot, but after mine broke and I see MULTIPLE other reviews of broken eyelets, stay away. Hopefully they will address this issue.
Not as good as the previous model, moab 2.0, but still a quality, comfortable boot. This model uses a riveted gusset for the laces, I had one pop off as I was trying them on. Then received a new pair of boots and on day 3 the rivet on a different eye loop came apart. This one isn't detrimental but still annoying. I've had these for two weeks and the left boot still feels like it needs breaking in.
I work in a marine environment. I was looking for comfort and waterproof. These boots work for both. I had to put an insole into the boot to make it fit more snug otherwise it felt tall over my foot. The side zip feels like an after thought since it opens the boot just barely enough to squeeze my foot through. Could use a little more material there. Overall recommend for someone wanting a Tac boot that feels less like a combat boot.
My department ordered this set for me after my MOAB 2's finally went out after 5yrs of use (awesome boot, shouldn't have changed them). These arrive, don't hold a polish at all, and couldn't make it out of the locker room without nearly every eyelet snapping immediately: wasn't even able to put tension on the laces before these cheap plastic molded and pot metal things pretty much dissolved. Not sure what I'm supposed to use for duty boots now if this is the quality we should expect from Merrell going forward.
I typically donāt care to write reviews so that should speak for itself. The Moab 3 boots are what I expected out of Merrell. Comfortable out of the box, takes a shine well if needed, and true to size. The vibrum sole has great traction. As a constructive critique, I would like to see them forego the side zipper and add a quick lace or BOA. I would recommend them if youāre looking for a good boot, especially if they made those changes.
Bought a pair of Moab 3's in November 2023 and after about 3 months I noticed the soles were already coming apart. I contacted Merrell and they sent me a new pair and told me to keep the faulty ones. One month after receiving a replacement pair, these are doing the same thing! I don't walk a foot beat or get into many foot chases so it's not like these are prematurely wearing out. Another buddy of mine had the zipper and eyelet break on his. Very disappointed in the lack of quality of the Moab 3's. Merrell has lost me as a customer.
I bought a pair of Moab 3 8" side-zip boots about a year ago. I've gone through 3 sets of laces so far because the laces are garbage. They break. I can't replace them with Paracord like I do with most boots because the grommets are too small. Plus, the waterproofing isn't really. I can't keep wearing boots that I can't count on, so I've tossed them and won't be purchasing any more Merrell products.
