Merrell Men's Moab 2 Mid Gtx Hiking Boot

Purchased this boot as a longtime purchaser of the Merrell MOABs. The low Gore-Tex shoe has been my go-to footwear for the past 5 years or so. Took the leap for the MOAB 2 and got the mid height Gore-Tex. From day one, the shoes were supremely comfortable. Absolutely no break-in required, great support and fit me perfectly. However, after just about 2 months into owning the shoes, some issues have cropped up. I have given these boots a 2 star rating despite how well they fit and perform because the outsole is rapidly becoming unglued from the boot. It starts at the heel and progresses forward. I am in contact with Merrell customer support and how they handle this will determine whether or not I stay with their brand. Alex Update! Merrell replaced the boots, but now the replacements are delaminating as well inside a month. Extremely disappointed in Merrell quality. I will no longer be purchasing Merrell footwear.

When these first arrived, I was very pleased. They fit well on my big feet with adequate toe room. Ive worn them on only a few short desert hikes for what proved an unnecessary break-in. Today, on a ~4 mile hike, as I began the downhill phase, I stopped to re-tie my boots. Just insurance to keep from bumping my toes. Many if not most experienced hikers do this. "POP" That was the sound of the top, right lace-loop of my left boot tearing right out of the boot. Never had that happen on any other boot. Looking more closely at these fabric lace-loops, I see that they are just barely stitched in. Three or four stitches run across each loop near the tongue. A quarter-inch back, another row of 3-4 stitches may or may not catch the loop material. I liked these boots, but Im disappointed that I cant trust these lace-loops anymore - and with less than 25 miles on the boots, one is already busted!

****** 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

Will never buy Merrill again. Only used for maybe 20 miles of hiking and the inner lining of one boot came loose and now bunches up. Because the time was up (by a few days) cant get them to exchange or refund them. This isnt the first pair of shoes bought thru Amazon that Ive had to return. Im beginning to think they may be defective to begin with. Stick to buying them from the store.
