Merrell Men's Moab 2 Mid Gtx Hiking Boot

Comment

Great Boot. Very comfortable right out of the box, super light, good support, and excellent traction. However, the reason I bought this over the non-Gore-Tex version, is for the waterproofing. I bought them in anticipation of a short trip to Iceland. Unfortunately, both right and left boots leaked water at the medial toebox. There was quite a bit of rain, but I did not stand in deep water or walk through anything deeper then the sole of the shoe. Disappointing, otherwise a fantastic shoe. I will have to return it.

I bought a pair of these 3 years ago and these are about a month old. I like the abundance of ventilating mesh. I wear them about 6 months through the summer, almost exclusively. I walk on wet concrete and a hot parking lot 4 days a week and the rest of the time is not much different. These have been, and still are the best ventilated shoes Ive had. At 60 and being on my feet a good chunk of that, this is something I appreciate. Talking about my previous pair. The soles held up well and I went through 3 sets of laces (expected) and never replaced the innersole (should have). A few months ago I noticed my feet getting wet. The sole and upper were separating at the big toe. Considering all the squatting I do this is normal for my shoes. I hope these are still available 3 years from now.

****** Review is on the seller not the shoe.******** These shoes have been returned by someone else, They have hair in the shoes from animals had has sock lint inside the shoe. The outside and soles look fine and does not appear to be worn outside, but definitely not new I tried the shoe on and fits perfect and feels great. But will return and buy another pair. Amazon products seem to be going down hill lately. Shipping is late a lot, and when Im buying 150 dollar pair of shoes, I expect them to be unworn and NEW

Had my last pair of MOABs for 6yr. Didnt think twice about the next hiking boot I was going to purchase, and I wish I did. Overall construction and the tread seem as reliable as my last pair, however it appears somewhere along the line they merged the lowtop and hightop varieties to create a new and wholly obnoxious variety of hiking shoe, one that comes up high enough to make your feet sweat during nice weather without providing any ankle support for a heavy pack on a trail. I put my old worn pair next to this after I noticed and its a full 3/4in lower. Also the tongue seems to have gotten fatter, which doesnt help with feeling too warm in them. I guess its a nice addition if you want your shoes to be comfy while sitting at a desk job. If youre a hipster who wants to dress like you enjoy the great outdoors while walking from the parking garage to your work in the suburban hellscape that is your life, or just looking for a pair of shoes to match your Forrester, then look no further. If you plan on carrying a pack along a trail then its time to abandon this brand as they have clearly sold out.

Its too early to tell how comfortable these will be, or how they will hold up. They look good, and seem to have good support. The rear heal cup is kind of deep and supportive, as is the arch. The boot feel planted and has a good balance between support (rigidity) and comfort. I went up half a size because of reviews...and Im not sure I needed to. My left foot is bigger than my right, and the left is perfect... the right is almost perfect. This is pretty normal for me, and I typically have to end up with one shoe fitting a bit tighter or looser than the other. All of the people going up an entire size make me wonder what brands they wear on a regular basis... there is no way I could have worn a whole size up. I wear an 11 in Hokas and most running shoes (asics, adidas, nike) , but a 10.5 in darn near everything else (Clarks, dress shoes, Cushes, Solomons) . I went with an 11 with these. On the first day I realized that despite Goretex being breathable, these made my feet pretty warm when combined with a pair of Smartwool socks. I will have to experiment with some other hiking socks in these. My old Solomons were also Goretex and seemed more breathable. I will update after a bit of summer hiking, walking in town, and days at work. Update: These boots arent all the comfortable. The weird heel cup is very stiff and makes an uncomfortable pressure point near my arch. My old Solomons and Keenans are much more comfortable.
