Merrell Men's Moab 2 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

التعليق

Ive had these boots for a little over two weeks now and have taken multiple early-morning hikes with them. In general, I like them very much. However, these are NOT waterproof. Simply walking through damp grass is enough to thoroughly saturate the entire front half of the boot and my foot. I am very disappointed by this. I feel like I must be doing something wrong as so many others are reporting that the boots are indeed waterproof. If anyone has any thoughts on this, Id love to hear them. At this point, I will probably return them as the waterproof claim was a primary consideration in my choice to buy them.

UPDATE: End of life update: 6 months nearly to the day. Sole wear was as expected. Sole compaction over time was significant. I am a fat bassturd though. Daily worn boot but probably the least severe duty my boots have seen in many years. I dont expect my boots to last more than 6-8 months. It made it but just. It appears the glue problem with the sole was stopped by additional layers of glue further down. If you dont mind looking like your shoe is falling apart thatd be fine. ___________________________ 2 Months and the sole is already separating from the boot. Not very happy with these overall and definitely wouldn’t recommend them.

I broke these bad boys out the box yesterday, laced up and put them to the test! Fresh out the box I felt like I was walking on clouds, extremely light weight with great traction. Grabbed my turtle shell aka "Backpack" and my 3 year old pitbull, hopped in the car and drove to the woods. We walked through the woods for a couple hours, across fallen trees, through the streams (not rock hopping strait puddle stompin), up and down big hills! The water wasnt higher than the laces however no moisture in the boots when I was done! No sweat or creek water! I love these boots! Keep up the good work Merrell!

My husband is in his forties and has gone back to school on a pedestrian campus. He also has plantar fasciitis, and we were concerned that all of the walking might aggravate it. He wears these shoes daily, and has had no problem whatsoever. In fact, his plantar fasciitis is better since hes been wearing them. Hes worn them through all seasons at this point, and he has no complaints whatsoever. The first time he tried them on, he said they fit like a glove. Hes very pleased with them. Were on his second pair, only because he wore out the first from so much walking.

Bought these to walk the Camino in Spain. They are not as comfortable as the non-waterproof Merrells. More rigid and heavier. That said, they performed well, and I needed the waterproofing. Walked in the rain and mud and my feet never got wet. Parts of the Camino are treacherous, with large rocks or slick slate. I had no problems with slipping. The soles were thick enough to protect my feet while walking on rocky trails. After about 200 miles the boots had stretched and I started getting heal blisters. Remedied this by wearing two pairs of wool socks instead of one. Surprisingly, after completing a 400 mile hike the boots showed little wear. I would have no hesitation wearing the same pair to do the walk a second time. Cant go wrong with Merrells.
